VitalHub Announces Expansion Licensing Contract with Existing Customer Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust

TORONTO, March 03, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- VitalHub Corp. (the "Company" or "VitalHub") (TSX: VHI) is pleased to announce an expansion licensing deal of subsidiary Intouch with Health's ("Intouch") hardware and software solutions with Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (the "Trust").

Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been a partner of the Company since 2013. The Trust serves the Hampshire and West Berkshire population, comprising approximately 600,000 individuals. The Trust provides outpatient and assessment services from Alton, Bordon, and Romsey community hospitals, conducting nearly 900,000 outpatient appointments annually. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust employs around 8,600 staff, and provides services from Andover War Memorial Hospital, Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, and the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.

The Trust currently employs the Check-in, Flow Manager, and Calling solutions at two of their hospitals. Having benefitted from the functionality of these systems, the Trust has contracted to upgrade and expand their product portfolio and use of VitalHub products. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has purchased a Trust-wide license to upgrade and expand use of their existing modules, while adding the Room & Resource solution, the HL7 Integration system, and Trust-wide implementation of the kiosk and calling screens. The expected benefits will be improved room utilization, efficiency in room and resource booking, communication and organization among staff, management coordination, and facilitate positive patient correspondence.

This is a licensing agreement comprising a suite of Intouch with Health patient flow and operational visibility solutions across the Trust.

"We are delighted to see the ongoing demand and support for our products from new and old clients, alike," said Dan Matlow, CEO of VitalHub Corp. "Organic growth through expansion deals like Hampshire add meaningful value to our growth strategy, and demonstrate market validation and satisfaction with our offerings. We look forward to continuing to work with Hampshire Hospitals, empowering their digital transformation in optimizing resource allocations and efficiency."
