VitalHub Announces Multi-Year Licensing Agreement With Wrightington Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
27 July 2021 - 9:30PM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announce a multi-year licensing agreement with Wrightington
Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust
or “WWL”) for the use of subsidiary Intouch with Health’s
(“Intouch”) patient flow solutions.
The Company has completed a multi-year licensing agreement with
WWL, to implement digitalized pre-screening processes and patient
flow management solutions.
Notably, the Trust is responsible for a host of specialist care
services on a regional, national, and international basis,
providing a broad array of services across its various sites,
ranging from accident and emergency care to chronic disease
management, specialist cancer and surgical specialties, as well as
providing care across its community clinics. Additionally, the
Trust directly serves a local population of 326,000 across the
Northwest of England. The Trust comprises three main hospital
sites, Royal Albert Edward Infirmary, Wrightington Hospital, and
Leigh Infirmary, and thirty-three clinics.
Responding to the large patient population in need of
face-to-face appointments that cannot afford to visit hospitals or
medical centers due to their high-risk association with COVID-19, a
solution was required to ensure patients can safely access and
receive the care they need. Intouch’s mobile check-in solution will
provide the first stage solution toward addressing the Trust’s
needs. The current agreement will extend across five of the Trust’s
sites, and include the use of proprietary Flow Manager, Room and
Resource Manager, Mobile Appointment Manager, and HL7 Channels
solutions.
“We are delighted to support Wrightington Wigan and Leigh
Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in helping resume in-person
patient services,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “We see
significant opportunity to continue to deepen our support of these
solutions within the Trust, and across the NHS, as we work to
provide critical patient flow and operational visibility data to
health systems.”
