VitalHub Continues Strong Organic Growth through Closing Multi-Year Licensing Deal with South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

TORONTO, March 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSXV: VHI) is pleased to announce a multi-year large-scale licensing transaction of recently acquired subsidiary Intouch with Health’s (“Intouch”) Synopsis product with South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the “Trust” or “South Tees”).

This transaction is among VitalHub’s largest to-date, comprising a 5-year licensing contract for the Company’s proprietary, award-winning Synopsis platform. From initial questionnaire through to post-operative outcomes, Synopsis provides the necessary tools to enable hospitals to manage the entire pre-operative assessment process digitally – removing paper trails, increasing data security, and delivering significant organizational and economic benefits.

One of the most prestigious and active health systems in the UK, the Trust is the largest in the Tees Valley with nearly 9,000 staff members providing a range of services to 1.5 million people. The Trust manages The James Cook University Hospital in Middlesbrough and the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton as well as community services in Hambleton and Richmondshire, Middlesbrough and Redcar and Cleveland. As a large health system, South Tees has a considerable need for a digital outpatient solution which increases efficiency and provides clarity and value to both patients and providers and chose Synopsis as its trusted digital outpatient solution to re-imagine care delivery.

Synopsis is a complete digital pre-op assessment platform that provides clarity, efficiency and value to health systems while reducing cancellation rates and risk and increasing patient throughput and theatre utilization. As a result of implementations of Synopsis solutions, fewer patients are required to attend hospital for a pre-operative assessment, improving patient throughput, while freeing up staff resources and clinical time. Staff are thereby able to spend more clinical time with high-risk patients, improving the efficiency of care delivery and resource utilization. Providing the opportunity to better educate patients on pre- and post-surgery care, Synopsis contributes to reductions in post-surgery re-admissions, promoting improved patient convenience and access to care.

In addition to the 5-year licensing of the Synopsis product, the Trust has also decided to undergo a paid, small-scale trial implementation of VitalHub’s Check-in, Flow Manager, Calling, and Room and Resource products at one of their sites. Following this proof-of-concept process, there will be an option to roll out these solutions across the Trust toward an expanded licensing deal.

“In Q3 2020, we announced organic growth in our ACV of ~$540k, and subsequently reported over $1 million in organic ACV growth in Q4 2020,” said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. “We’re excited about VitalHub’s trend towards substantial organic growth on top of strong M&A growth, and we’re maintaining strong traction as we continue to announce deals into Q1 of 2021. This particular transaction is among the largest Synopsis deals VitalHub has closed to-date, further reinforcing the momentum and growth we are experiencing with this product.”
