Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust, UK, Licenses VitalHub’s Patient Flow Platform to Streamline the Patient Journey for all Outpatient Programs
January 06 2022 - 7:00AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:
VHI) is pleased to announce a significant licensing
transaction of subsidiary Intouch with Health’s (“Intouch”) patient
flow platform to Royal Berkshire NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust”
or “Royal Berkshire”). In November 2021, Royal Berkshire secured
central funding to support the Trust’s digital transformation and
digitization of health and care systems. The transaction is
principally focused on Royal Berkshire Hospital and allows the
licensed solutions to be used at all 6 Trust sites. This deal comes
as a result of the Trust having identified a need for a platform
which would enable a longer term objective to digitally transform
outpatient coordination.
VitalHub successfully demonstrated proficiency in the
technologies required to support the need for a multi-faceted
patient journey solution. The Trust purchased the following Intouch
modules from VitalHub; Flow Manager, Self-Check-In, Mobile
Appointment Manager, Patient Calling, Wait Time Manager, Activity
Manager, and HL7 Integration with Cerner, thus meeting the Trust’s
criteria to work with a technology provider capable of offering
digital solutions across the whole of outpatients and not just a
point solution.
This partnership is a result of collaboration between VitalHub
subsidiary organizations. Royal Berkshire uses VitalHub’s SHREWD
whole-system visibility platform to support their regional
reporting as a member of the NHS England and NHS Improvement South
East region, one of seven regional teams in England that ensure
that the population of the South East have access to high quality
health and care services.
“This is evidence that our acquisition strategy which focuses on
synergistic solutions is working to improve health outcomes,
system-wide, for our customers. The Royal Berkshire’s investment in
improving the outpatient experience and the success of our business
in 2021 underlines that there is a significant opportunity to grow
our leadership position in the outpatient flow optimization
category. The Intouch platform continues to be the leading
patient flow system in the UK market,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of
VitalHub Corporation.
