VitalHub Announces Sale to Large Manitoba Mental Health Organization
April 11 2018 - 7:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV:VHI) is pleased
to announce that Manitoba’s Northern Regional Health Authority
("NRHA"), has licensed VitalHub's B Care Electronic Health Record
software (“EHR") to support their child and adult inpatient and
community mental health programs.
In 2013, VitalHub’s B Care EHR platform was sold and implemented
into a major Manitoba inpatient mental health facility that
provides services to residents of Manitoba and Nunavut, whose
challenging needs cannot be met elsewhere in the provincial health
care system.
Building on the success of VitalHub's implementation, the NRHA
has licensed the use of VitalHub's B Care EHR. This sale marks a
significant event for VitalHub, supporting the first implementation
of an EHR and the interRAI Child and Youth Mental Health (ChYMH)
and Adolescent Supplement to support the provinces Healthy Child
Manitoba program. This implementation will serve as a demonstration
site that will be evaluated to application across the rest of the
province.
The Healthy Child Manitoba Initiative (the "Initiative") will be
supported by the implementation of the VitalHub EHR and interRAI
ChYMH instrument. A key component of the Initiative is the Protocol
for the Assessment and Discharge of Suicidal Youth which will be
piloted in Thompson, Manitoba, and the surrounding area. This
program will be assessed and evaluated to inform potential changes
to the Protocol and expansion across Manitoba.
NRHA's implementation of the Protocol will serve to validate the
effectiveness of EHR systems to support service provisioning for
children's and community mental health services in the Thompson
region of Manitoba. This pilot represents an opportunity to
evaluate and assess the outcomes related to the deployment of an
EHR to support improvements in the quality of mental health care
and support for those in need.
“We are looking forward to working with the NRHA to support
their deployment of the B Care EHR,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of
VitalHub. “Over the past 10 years we have developed a deep working
knowledge and proficiency in supporting our clients use of interRAI
assessments nationally. We look forward to leveraging this
experience and know-how to support opportunities for expanding our
deployment of B Care across the mental health and community health
sector throughout Manitoba.”
