VitalHub Announces Licensing of SHREWD Solution in Canada, With The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority
March 13 2023 - 6:30AM
VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX: VHI)
(OTCQX:VHIBF) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with the
Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (“WRHA”) who will implement
SHREWD to provide strategic and operational whole-system visibility
for improving care coordination and patient flow.
The SHREWD platform provides an operational visibility layer
used as a single source of the truth in real-time, leveraging
existing Health Information Systems to provide intelligent insights
and allowing managers and key decision-makers to take the right
action at the right time. SHREWD will enable the WRHA to leverage
data from a wide variety of disparate information systems across
the health network, aggregated to provide stakeholders with
visibility of system pressures at a glance. SHREWD will support
quality improvement and optimized patient flow across the acute and
sub-acute facilities in the region.
The WRHA has been using VitalHub’s Oculys patient flow &
operational visibility suite of solutions since 2015. The SHREWD
platform will deliver the next evolution of system integration and
regional visibility supporting optimized patient flow across the
region.
The WRHA serves a population of more than 750,000 people,
including residents of the city of Winnipeg and the rural
municipalities of East and West St. Paul. It also provides
healthcare support and speciality referral services to nearly half
a million Manitobans who live beyond these boundaries, as well as
residents of northwestern Ontario and Nunavut, who often require
the services and expertise available within the WRHA.
"We’re excited to work with VitalHub to deliver the next
evolution of real-time regional visibility. Our choice to implement
SHREWD will be integral for improving our standards of care across
the Winnipeg region. It allows us to provide staff at all levels
with a single source of truth which can be used to identify
pressures across our network, optimize the flow of patients across
our region, and manage our resources efficiently and effectively.”
said Katherine Graham, Director of Care Coordination at the
Winnipeg Regional Health Authority.
“We’re thrilled to expand the scope of our partnership with the
WRHA. The implementation of SHREWD will support their mission of
enhancing the patient experience. SHREWD will provide care teams
and decision makers in the WRHA with a real-time view of system
pressures so that they can coordinate the right action at the right
time and improve the safety and quality of patient care across the
communities they serve. SHREWD has gained significant traction
across the NHS in the UK, powering command centres across England.
We’re confident that the opportunity for SHREWD in Canada is
significant as the healthcare delivery challenges are the same.”
said Niels Tofting, EVP, Business Development & Marketing, of
VitalHub Corp.
