VitalHub Subsidiary S12 Solutions Reports a New Multi-Year Contract at Northamptonshire, UK
TORONTO, Dec. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX: VHI) is pleased to report that its subsidiary, S12 Solutions (“S12”), which was acquired by VitalHub earlier this year, continues to achieve significant market penetration with a new S12 Solutions contract signed in November 2021. Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (“the “Trust” or “Northamptonshire”) has signed a multi-year contract with S12 Solutions to help the Trust move towards its goal to digitally transform paper-based processes. The Northamptonshire contract includes: 1 Clinical Commissioning Group, 2 Local Authorities and 1 Trust. The license features the S12 Solution standard platform, including both; the electronic statutory Mental Health Act (“MHA”) forms and the electronic claims process.
S12 Solutions is a UK-based company, which helps mental health professionals efficiently complete Mental Health Act 1983 (“MHA”) processes. S12 Solutions is a digital platform, which connects Approved Mental Health Professionals (“AMHPs”) with approved section 12 (“s.12”) doctors for MHA assessments in England. AMHPs are able to find available, nearby doctors, create s.12 doctor claims, and both AMHPs and doctors can create, complete and share electronic statutory MHA forms.
Founded in 2017, S12’s platform supports mental health crisis care pathway efficiency through timely access to the best available assessing team for service users, more assessment preparation time for AMHPs, and greater control over contact information and s.12 work for doctors.
“We are extremely pleased with the progress being achieved by the S12 team,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “The S12 platform solves a significant market need by addressing the inefficiencies caused by outdated paper-based processes associated with the MHA. In addition to this planned implementation at Northamptonshire, we continue to see a significant opportunity to leverage the S12 technology platform, both within its current mental health application, and to disrupt additional healthcare market verticals.”
