August 25 2020 - 7:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announce the nomination of newly-acquired subsidiary InTouch
With Health’s (InTouch) digital pre-op solutions, Synopsis iQ, for
an award at the Smarter Working Live 2020 Awards.
As released on the 20th of August 2020, VitalHub recently
acquired InTouch With Health. InTouch was established in 1999 and
specialises in delivering IT-based patient flow management
solutions to help hospitals and private healthcare providers
increase organisational efficiency and deliver an improved patient
experience. InTouch’s marquee pre-op assessment platform, Synopsis
iQ, completely digitises the perioperative assessment journey,
offering value, clarity and efficiency for the care team and
patients.
Synopsis iQ has been nominated for an award at the Smarter
Working Live 2020 Awards. The Smarter Working Awards are highly
anticipated each year, and aim to honour UK government innovation,
especially innovation leading to paperless processes. In response
to the outbreak of COVID-19, this year’s awards will take place
virtually on the 26th November 2020.
Synopsis iQ has been recognized in the “Best Use of a Solution”
category. The award nomination is in conjunction with Aintree
University Hospital following the deployment of Synopsis
iQ.
Aintree University Hospital is part of the Liverpool
University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Newly merged, the Trust
comprises Aintree and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University
Hospitals. Aintree University Hospital provides general acute
health care to 330,000 residents in North Merseyside and
surrounding areas. Aintree University Hospital performs around
21,000 pre-operative assessments a year. Aintree adopts a pathway
recognized as LEAN, applying best practice and accepting walk in as
well as booked patients.
Since being deployed, Synopsis iQ has removed a reliance on
paper; reduced costs and introduced a level of consistency and risk
management not previously possible. After Aintree University
Hospital deployed Synopsis iQ:
- The trust achieved full return on its investment 10 days after
launch
- There were zero cancellations of on-the-day surgery due to
pre-assessment issues in the first 4 months after Synopsis iQ was
launched
- A total in-year saving of £2.7 million was achieved with a £4
million saving expected in Phase 2
- There was a 94% reduction in paper and printing, reducing the
trust’s overall carbon footprint by 17.4 tonnes
- 93% of Aintree patients gave positive feedback on Synopsis
- The trust achieved a clinical time saving of 27 minutes per
patient (40%) within 6 months
- Some nurse-led POAs were completed in 18 minutes, where this
had previously taken 45 minutes
- Aintree University Hospital has demonstrated productivity
savings of up to 47%, in effect doubling its available capacity for
pre-operative assessments
“We are excited about the acquisition of InTouch With Health and
the significant opportunities they present Trusts for patient
visibility management and improved operational efficiency,” said
Dan Matlow, CEO of Vitalhub Corp. “This nomination is a
demonstration of the applicability and need for the Synopsis
product during the pandemic, and of the significant innovation
being developed at InTouch. We are excited about acceptance of this
product in the UK environment, and the opportunity to expand across
the several hospitals and Trusts that do not yet have these
important products and solutions.”
