LGI Joins Forces With SMLB to Reduce ER Wait Times in France

Montreal, Canada, July 24, 2024  – LGI Healthcare Solutions, a Canadian leader in healthcare IT, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with SMLB, a renowned IT distributor in France. With LGI Emergency Redirection, a cloud-based solution that supports the patient redirection process in the emergency department, triage professionals can quickly and safely identify non-urgent cases that can be redirected from the emergency department to partner healthcare facilities.

" We are honored to join forces with LGI to introduce their state-of-the-art redirection solution to France emergency room services," said Stéphane Soudet, founding president at SMLB. "LGI's dedication to enhancing patient care resonates with our values, and we look forward to collaborating to streamline acquisition and support processes so healthcare care professionals can focus on patients – not technology. " 

" Our partnership with SMLB is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative healthcare solutions globally," said Michel Desgagné, President and CEO of LGI Healthcare Solutions. "This partnership will further our commitment to alleviate emergency room congestion in France, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. "
