Canadian health and human services technology company, VitalHub Corporation has signed a partnership agreement with UK-based healthcare technology specialist, Intouch with Health.

Intouch’s comprehensive suite of modules support every aspect of the patient experience, from patient arrival (including mobile phone check-in) to infection control procedures, through to accurate payment data collection and digital appointment outcome recording. This enables NHS trusts (UK) and hospital and private healthcare organizations (world-wide) to mitigate operational and patient risk, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.
VitalHub’s solutions are well established within Canada and the partnership will contribute greatly to VitalHub’s goal of building a comprehensive suite of solutions.

COVID 19 has created a large need for these types of solutions and we are excited to be introducing them into the Canadian marketplace.”
Mike Sanders, Chief Executive Officer at Intouch with Health, said: “VitalHub technologies currently support more than 200 clients worldwide. With Healthcare organizations world-wide facing unprecedented pressure from COVID-19, and the ongoing need to deliver healthcare services efficiently and effectively, our partnership is more pertinent than ever. Combining Intouch With Health’s in-depth understanding of a patients journey combined with VitalHub’s patient flow management will lead to sustainable outcomes, strong user adoption and ongoing benefit delivery.”
