VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased
to announce the licensing of a suite of Intouch with Health’s
(“Intouch”) Digital Outpatient Management solutions, in partnership
with Australia’s Device Technologies, to Melbourne’s Royal
Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital (“Royal Victorian”).
The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital in Melbourne has
purchased a suite of new digital technology to help improve the way
it manages Specialist Clinic appointments. The hospital, which
cares for more than 220,000 patients per year, has partnered with
VitalHub subsidiary, UK-based digital healthcare technology
specialist, Intouch with Health, and the Company’s Australian
partner, Device Technologies, to implement the project which will
overhaul the way the hospital manages the movement of patients
during their appointments and gives staff improved access to
information using new digital solutions to replace some paper-based
processes.
As part of the project, staff at the Royal Victorian will use a
new, central digital dashboard to view the location of each
Specialist Clinic patient and monitor the progress of their
appointment in real-time. Intouch with Health’s Flow
Manager dashboard will also allow hospital staff to access a
form where they can book and manage the capacity of rooms across
the hospital and maximize room usage. Hospital management will
also benefit from a specialist analysis solution which allows
monitoring and pro-active management of the service in line with
key performance indicators.
Intouch’s patient-facing technology at the hospital will
include self-check-in kiosks to allow patients to
register their arrival and digital patient calling screens in
clinic waiting areas that will alert patients when their clinician
is ready to see them. Additional technology solutions will also be
deployed that automatically push alerts to patients to update them
on possible delays to their appointment, as well as electronic
wayfinding maps to help patients find their way around the
hospital more efficiently. Improving the way clinicians record the
results of a patient’s appointment, the hospital will move away
from paper-based records and introduce Intouch’s eOutcomes module
to record appointment information digitally and improve
data accuracy.
“This project is about taking a holistic view of the Specialist
Clinic journey at The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and
introducing digital solutions to improve the end-to-end Specialist
Clinic journey for both patients and staff,” said Tracy Siggins,
Acting Executive Director Operations at The Royal Victorian Eye and
Ear Hospital. “The technology will improve the experience of
patients visiting for an appointment by providing them with access
to information and updates throughout their appointment, whether
it's through the kiosks, digital calling screens or wait time
manager to let them know if things are running on time or slightly
behind schedule.
“We are starting to see recognition of Intouch’s solutions not
just in the UK, but on a multi-national basis,” said Dan Matlow,
CEO of VitalHub Corp. “We have a trusted distribution partner by
way of Device Technologies, who will enable us to continue to
extend our international reach across Australia and New Zealand.
Our vision is of VitalHub as a true global company and solutions
leader. With installations across Canada, the US, UK, Australia,
the Middle East, and parts of Europe, we are continuing to advance
our aims, and look forward to continuing to expand through organic
growth and strategic M&A opportunities.”
