  • The Scarborough Hospital (TSH) purchased Medworxx Patient Flow Platform, which results in TSH utilizing the Medworxx Bed Management module to optimize patient flow for 547 patient beds and to simplify communications among care and support teams for streamlined bed placement, housekeeping and portering. The TSH Bed Management implementation is the first stage of the Central East Local Health Integration Network (Central East LHIN)'s multi-stage patient flow improvement strategy to support health service providers in Central East Ontario.
  • Medworxx signed an agreement with TELUS (News - Alert) Health to offer their customers the Medworxx Patient Flow Platform, enabling healthcare practitioners to better analyze and monitor patient health in an acute-care environment. TELUS has a significant footprint - it is used by about 40,000 clinical and healthcare professionals in Canada, primarily in Quebec and the Ottawa region, as well as in the U.S. and Australia. Medworxx Patient Flow is a natural integration point with Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and Medworxx will bring value to their customers through the synergistic technology.
  • Medworxx also formalized a new Medworxx Patient Flow - Appropriate Length of Stay Audit ("ALSA") program, which helps to unlock unique patient flow data and help organizations better understand patient flow issues. ALSA uses the proven Medworxx software as an audit and diagnostic solution prior to hospitals implementing the solution operationally.
  • In Q2 2013, Greater East Midlands Commissioning Support Unit (GEM (News - Alert)), a large UK Trust, licensed Medworxx Patient Flow - ALSA program for its annual reviews delivered within its region covering a 4.5 million population and 13,000 beds in acute-care or community-based hospitals and in non-hospital environments.

  • With strong traction in Canada and robust growth in the UK, Medworxx has begun to market actively in Australia. With 82,800 hospital beds in Australia, there is a significant opportunity for hospitals to achieve significant quantifiable increases in efficiency by implementing the Medworxx Patient Flow Platform.
