VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announce the closing of a multi-year licensing agreement with
University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust” or
“Dorset”) in support of the initial deployment of the novel NHS
“Thing Big” initiative.
Through its subsidiary Intouch with Health, the Company has
signed a multi-year licensing contract to support a planned
multi-phase NHS initiative to disrupt patient access to elective
surgery care. In response to growing wait times for elective
surgery across NHS hospitals, which have been all but exacerbated
by the pandemic, Dorset has commenced the “Think Big” initiative,
to explore innovative ways of reducing procedure wait times,
improving overall patient experience and the delivery of care.
Dorset is a newly-formed Trust, established through the merger
of Poole Hospital Trust and Royal Bournemouth & Christchurch
Trust, in October, 2020. Located on the south coast of England,
Dorset comprises three hospital locations: the Poole Hospital, the
Royal Bournemouth Hospital, and the Christchurch Hospital. The
Trust employs more than 9,000 staff and serves a population size
that exceeds 800,000 individuals.
The “Think Big” initiative involves the establishment of a
devoted outpatient facility through which to unburden these
backlogged outpatient procedures. The Trust is securing devoted
resources from the Nightingale Hospitals to rapidly build an
Outpatient Centre in a brand-new location away from their
hospitals, including plans to use the upper floor of a large
department store in a nearby shopping mall facility, in Poole. This
effectively inducts a new care-access paradigm within the NHS
hospital trust system.
This agreement marks an expansion in the Company’s continued
growth across NHS hospitals and will span a three-year term. The
agreement will provide the Trust with the use of Intouch’s Flow
Manager, Check In, Calling, Wait Time Manager, and Mobile
Appointment Manager products.
“We are delighted to have been chosen to support this innovative
and important initiative, and to receive the continued validation
of our offerings within the National Health System throughout the
UK,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “The ‘Think Big’
project has garnered a lot of attention and presents a new model
for the delivery of elective care to be rolled out across multiple
phases. We look forward to supporting this initiative as it expands
across multiple phases, and continuing to work with our clients and
partners to deliver best-in-class innovation across health
systems.”
