VitalHub Announces Expansion Licensing Deal With Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust

TORONTO, March 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX: VHI) is pleased to announce an expansion licensing agreement of subsidiary Intouch with Health’s (“Intouch”) patient flow solutions with Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust” or “Liverpool”). This contract expands upon the Company’s existing relationship with Poole Hospital, and marks the 8th Intouch with Health contract announced this quarter.

Poole Hospital has been a customer of the Company since 2019, and has recently expanded their operations resulting in increased organizational and operational pressures.

This expansion further widens the reach of Intouch’s solutions to Bournemouth and Christchurch Hospitals, spanning across the entirety of University Hospitals Dorset NHS Foundation Trust.

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust serves a catchment area of 2.8 million people, spanning Merseyside, Cheshire, North Wales, and the Isle of Man. The Trust sees more than 100,000 outpatients at its hospitals, annually. Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust provides specialist services in cardiothoracic surgery, cardiology, and respiratory medicine including adult cystic fibrosis and diagnostic imaging.

Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Foundation Trust has licensed a suite of Intouch’s patient flow solutions, including the Check-in, Calling, Flow Manager, Mobile, and HL7 Channels software solutions. This licensing agreement is comprised solely of software products, and has an expected deployment time of twelve-weeks. By implementing these programs, the Trust can expect to see improvements in patient experience and clinical efficiency.

“We are delighted to build upon our existing relationship with Poole Hospital, expanding across the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital NHS Trust,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “As the 8th Intouch sale announced this quarter, we continue to reinforce our market leadership and penetration across the UK healthcare landscape. With organic growth forming an important part of our overall expansion strategy, we are pleased by our team’s continued progress and execution.”
