eVisitNB is proud to announce a partnership with FirstHx. This partnership will help patients across New Brunswick to more effectively provide their medical story when booking a virtual scheduled appointment.

FirstHx is a bilingual solution, being offered in both English and French.

eVisitNB patients meet virtually with a Nurse Practitioner or Physician to discuss a broad range of acute and chronic health conditions. Currently, several hundred patients are seen a day on eVisitNB.

FirstHx’s knowledge based medical history taking solution will help empower New Brunswick patients to better tell their health stories to their clinician. eVisitNB patients are already indicating that they love using FirstHx with an average approval rating of 4.75 stars (out of 5). eVisitNB's clinicians benefit too, gaining a better understanding of the patient before the visit and leveraging the FirstHx notes to assist in documentation.

A Nurse Practitioner at eVisitNB says “FirstHx allows me to be better prepared to best serve my patients, and gives me more time to help solve their health concerns.”

Dr. Hanif Chatur, co-founder of eVisitNB states “eVisitNB is excited to be the first to deploy FirstHx in Atlantic Canada. eVisitNB continues to reimagine how healthcare is delivered in New Brunswick.”

Beth Gerritsen, Nurse Practitioner & Executive Lead at FirstHx says “I’m thrilled to see FirstHx’s expanded to more Canadian patients & supporting the work of the clinicians in New Brunswick.”
