Upcoming Trade Shows

Trade show and showcases can be busy, chaotic places, but we always enjoy the chance to be involved. They give us a chance to keep in touch with our clients and potential clients and meet some of the people we provide our EMR and clinical management services to.

Trade shows and showcases give us a chance to show off our product, but they're even more useful for anyone considering adopting an EMR. Take the opportunity to see all the vendors in one place so you can easily compare all your options. Our hope is that you'll leave feeling confident in your understanding of the EMR industry as you set out to make a tough decision.

Coming up over the next few months, P & P, with our powerful clinical management and EMR system, the Clinical Information System (CIS), will be at two showcases and one trade show.

Meet the Help Desk: Jessica

The Jester of Jive: Jessica

Without a doubt, Jessica is the quirkiest one of the bunch. She is the newest member of help desk, but she fit right in from day one. She is a self-confessed organization geek, but, on the opposite end of the spectrum, would love nothing better than to have the chaos and crazy fun of a bouncy castle at her birthday party (though, she might make all her guests line up alphabetically for their turns). She’s P & P’s local celebrity: you might remember her flawless performance in the very important role of a grade 1 student in the movie Billy Madison.

Congratulations!

We'd like to take a moment to congratulate Moe's assistant Jennifer Greenspan and her husband David on the birth of their first son, Joshua Izzy.  Born this morning at 5:58, weighing 6lbs 8oz.

Congratulations to the proud new parents.  We all can't wait to see pictures!

Meet the Help Desk: Shazana

The Siren of Support, Shazana Ali

Shazana came to Canada from the wonderful island of Trinidad and Tobago when she was 8. She’s been back twice since then to visit her many aunts and uncles who still live on the tropical island. She's been working for P & P on the help desk for almost 2 years -- 1 year and 7 months to be exact.

Shazana brings all the pieces of help desk together: she balances Jessica’s eccentricity, compliments Mark’s cheerful friendliness, and supports Dave’s steady patience. She has a bit of a sweet tooth; her desk is never complete without a huge box of nerds beside her computer. At a recent P & P potluck, Shazana proved her mastery of the kitchen with a delicious custard dessert that impressed everyone. She would love to be a part-time chef someday and definitely has the culinary talent for it.

Meet the Help Desk: Mark

The Softy of Support, Mark

If you ever need some cheering up, Mark is the one to call. He started with P & P shortly after Dave and is coming up on his 4 year P & P anniversary this September. He’s a big teddy bear, always ready with a joke and a smile to brighten your day. His fellow help-desk friends dub him the Comic Relief of Help Desk, the one that keeps them cheerful even on the coldest, gloomiest of winter days. He’s a talkative, sensitive fellow; he grew up with 5 sisters, an upbringing that is directly reflected in his unique personality.

Meet the Help Desk: Dave

You may have talked to our help desk staff on a number of occasions. You probably have pictures of them in your mind, images based on the sound of their voices. But who are the help desk staff really? Over the next few weeks, we're going to introduce them to you, one at a time, so you can finally connect the helpful voice to the person on the other end of the phone line.

The Smooth Silky Voice of Dave Anthony

Dave loves sushi, basketball and long walks on the beach. He’s a little bit petrified of dogs, even the small, cuddly kind. Dave is the nucleus of help desk, the one everyone turns to when they can’t quite figure out a problem themselves. With 5 years at P&P under his belt, Dave has been on the help desk the longest. With his patient and steady nature, he’s always willing to help find a solution as long has he’s not caught up in the most recent episode of the Young and the Restless. And Dave really does love basketball: his dream room would have nothing in it but a full-sized basketball court.
