VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:
VHI) is pleased to announce that the NHSX Blueprint
recording of Synopsis, award-winning project with Worcestershire
Acute Hospitals NHS Trust has been approved at the national level
and uploaded to the FutureNHS platform as an example of best
practices in NHS digital transformation. The NHSX Blueprint, titled
“Launching a digital pre-operative pathway to improve efficiency
and maximize theatre usage at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS
Trust” is now available on the FutureNHS platform.
Synopsis was approached by NHSX to write and submit
the Blueprint for consideration after a series of award wins in
2020 demonstrated the successful application of the Synopsis
Home and Synopsis iQ digital pre-operative health
questionnaires at trusts across the UK. Working closely with
NHSX and Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust and
following stringent guidelines for the creation of the one-page,
best practice document, the Blueprint was reviewed and amended over
several months before being submitted for final review at national
level and approval for the FutureNHS platform.
Outlining the challenge, solution, costs and resources, and
benefits, the NHSX Blueprint details how approximately 11,000
operative patients a year at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS
Trust can now complete their pre-operative assessment
questionnaire at home or on the move using a digital form.
After deploying Synopsis across the Trust, hospital
activity time for a pre-op assessment activity time has reduced by
21%, increasing to 52% for patients using Synopsis Home—therefore
avoiding unnecessary hospital stays.
“We rapidly rolled out Synopsis iQ and Synopsis Home early in
the pandemic which was successful despite severe pressure due to
changes in pre-op activity and staff redeployment. We were the
first Trust to go live with Synopsis Home which was challenging but
also enabled us to make changes and smooth teething problems as an
early adopter,” said Rachel Foley, Clinical Benefits and Change
Lead, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust.
This approval is a ratification of the market fit of the
Synopsis product suite, illustrative of the significant value
derived by health systems through its implementation and use,” said
Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “The Blueprint is an impartial
record of application success and provides a compelling-use case
for other hospitals in the UK and around the world to apply to
digital transformation efforts. We look forward to the ongoing
success of the Synopsis platform as we continue to support our
clients on a global basis.”
