April 09 2020 - 7:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “
Company” or
“
VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) in response to the
pandemic and to support hospitals that need to increase capacity,
is making available at no cost, access to a lite version of our
Making Care Appropriate for Patients (MCAP) solution and associated
evidence-based clinical criteria through it’s Rapid Assessment for
Discharge Readiness (RADR) solution.
RADR is a derivative of MCAP, the #1 ranked patient
flow solution based on combined quality and value scores in the NHS
England’s Clinical Utilisation Review framework.
MCAP is an internationally validated solution
that’s been used in North America, Europe, Australia and the Middle
East, including at more than >160 hospitals in the UK to
identify patient flow improvement opportunities.
The RADR solution is being provided to assist
hospitals with discharge planning, recognizing the need for health
systems to prepare for and make available capacity to support an
influx of patients with severe coronavirus illness. RADR will allow
for the rapid identification of large numbers of patients that can
be discharged safely and identify barriers that need to be removed
to expedite the discharge planning process.
The RADR solution provides a standardized approach
to identifying patients that are medically ready to be discharged
or transferred from acute care. Standardizing the approach is
critically important to maintaining consistency in decision making
and will maximize the number of beds that can be freed up while
also safeguarding patient health.
RADR is applicable to hospitals globally and fully
supports the guidance provided by the NHS in the COVID-19 Hospital
Discharge Service Requirements, published March 19, 2020
(https://www.england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/publication/covid-19-hospital-discharge-service-requirements/)
which sets out the hospital discharge service requirement for all
providers of acute care services – specifically that: “acute and
community hospitals must discharge all patients as soon as they are
clinically safe to do so.”
RADR is hosted by VitalHub and accessible through
any internet-enabled device (desktops, tablets, smartphones, etc.).
No personal health information is requested or stored, fully
supporting privacy legislation globally. RADR allows for user self
registration and is designed to be very easy to use.
“The pandemic has put an extreme burden on
hospitals worldwide. We are proud to offer a solution that can
assist hospitals to safely discharge patients who can be treated
elsewhere including at home. RADR provides a standardized
assessment using evidence-based criteria that will enable hospitals
to optimize capacity in response to the actual and anticipated
surge," said David Maltz, Chief Medical Officer of VitalHub.
