VitalHub Announces Licensing of the MCAP Patient Flow Solution to the South London Mental Health & Community Partnership, UK
August 27 2020 - 7:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announced today that it will be deploying its patient flow
solution, with the implementation of the MCAP Clinical Utilization
Review (CUR) module across the South London Mental Health and
Community Partnership (SLP) in the United Kingdom.
The Partnership includes the Oxleas NHS
Foundation Trust, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust
and South West London and St. George’s Mental Health NHS Trust who
are working together to spearhead a better mental health service
across south London. After an extensive evaluation process, SLP
will be the first Mental Health CUR contract to be awarded under
the new National Health Service (NHS) Framework Agreement.
MCAP will be used to identify opportunities for
whole system patient flow improvements and integration, enabling
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 across
both Mental Health Inpatient and Outpatient services.
In support of the Company’s UK customers during
COVID, VitalHub has worked closely with the National Health Service
England and National Health Service Improvement (NHSE/I) to embed
their mandated daily review and daily Situation Report (SitReP) for
Discharge Service Requirements into the MCAP solution, offering a
streamlined and efficient way of completing the SitRep and
automating the submission back to the NHS.
“We are excited to work with VitalHub to
implement Clinical Utilisation Review (CUR) Software ‘Making Care
Appropriate for Patients’ (MCAP) across Children and Young persons
services in the region. Implementation of MCAP is part of an
innovative NHSE/I pilot to confirm the benefits of CUR in mental
health. The CUR principle enabling right level of care, in the
right place, at the right time aligns closely with the key
principles that Children and Young People (CYP) who require
inpatient admission receive care closer to home and that SLP
promote/develop alternatives to admission where these are
appropriate. We expect CUR to support improving care, experience
and outcomes by reducing unnecessary admissions, inappropriate
lengths of stay and barriers to discharge; and improving patient
flow,” said Jeremy Walsh - Director – South London Partnership.
“We are delighted to be working with one of the
premier consortiums of mental health hospitals in the world,” said
Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “The SLP’s work drives
significant community impact, delivering mental health services to
millions of patients. We are encouraged to participate in this
initiative, working with an innovative and collaborative
partnership in support of improving mental health services through
an investment in our Patient Flow and Operational Visibility
platform. This contract highlights the significant opportunity for
other mental health service providers in the UK and globally to
consider similar initiatives.”
