VitalHub Corporation Announces Integration of NHS’s Mandated Daily Review and Situation Report into MCAP Offering
July 29 2020 - 7:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announce the incorporation of the National Health Service’s
(NHS) mandated daily review and daily situation report (SITREP)
into its proprietary MCAP (Making Care Appropriate for Patients)
Clinical Utilization Review solution.
VitalHub has worked closely with the National Health Service
England and National Health Service Improvement to embed their
mandated daily review and daily Situation report (SITREP) into the
Company’s patient flow software, offering a streamlined and
efficient solution that takes frontline staff 15 - 30 seconds per
patient, per day, to complete. The MCAP tool saves significant
clinical time and resource for frontline staff and typically
identifies 2x the number of patients for flow than current UK
“Medically Fit For Discharge” (MFFD) processes.
Notably, the COVID daily discharge SITREP collects data on the
inpatient population of each acute Trust and their discharge status
each day using a centralized portal and has been important in
monitoring and managing the progression of the pandemic.
Accordingly, this integration into the Company’s utilization
management solutions has been crucial in VitalHub’s client’s
response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The MCAP tool identifies opportunities for whole system patient
flow improvements and integration, provides decision makers with
the necessary evidence to provide advanced patient flow analytics
in real-time to support improvements in multi-disciplinary team
discharge and system integration.
The Company’s solution enables automatic reporting to the NHS on
a Trust’s behalf, offering seamless integration with the Trust’s
existing system. Moreover, through offering the mandated SITREPs
through the MCAP software, Trusts can take advantage of using the
clinical guidelines and criteria offered through the solution to
inform and guide answering the SITREP questions. As noted above,
this has produced a 200% increase in patients identified for
discharge (via use of MCAP solution), resulting in considerable
improvements to resource efficiency, and resultant improvements to
the delivery and quality of care.
"VitalHub's MCAP software is used to provide live data on
patient's statuses across SRFT, and data is transmitted rapidly
within the organisation to the personnel who can effect change most
rapidly. Senior managers and executive level management also use
the data in discussions with the relevant local agencies and
partner organisations to manage patient flow across systems,” said
Hilary Richardson, CUR Project Manager and Phlebotomy Manager,
Salford Royal NHS Foundation Trust. “Data entry is simple, fast,
efficient and negates the need for ward attendance to ascertain
reason for admission/plans for discharge, therefore reducing
transmission risks to both patients and front-line staff. MCAP
rapidly identifies large numbers of patients that have no reason to
reside (Non-Qualified) and who can be discharged in preparation for
a very large influx of patients requiring beds. This has been
utilised to great effect during the recent COVID-19 pandemic."
“We are happy to report that we have met the additional
requirement laid out by the NHS National Framework for Trusts to
fill out the COVID daily SITREP, which will be incorporated into
our standing offering within the Framework,” said Dan Matlow, CEO
of VitalHub Corp. “We are pleased that use of MCAPs clinical
guideline criteria provides a tangible benefit to operational
visibility and resource planning, and are encouraged by the
opportunity for this benefit to be extended to COVID daily
reporting.”
As one of two approved vendors selected by the NHS to offer
Clinical Utilization Reviews (CURs) within the NHS Framework,
VitalHub is able to offer UK Trusts access to its patient flow and
operational visibility solutions through an expedited adoption
pathway, avoiding requirements for independent tender or
procurement cycles.
