Vitalhub Corp is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an implementation of its regional patient flow and whole-system visibility platform, SHREWD, to support improved patient flow and safer, more effective care coordination.
SHREWD is a real-time operational management platform which supports – and gathers data from – hospitals, long-term care facilities, community & cancer care services, inter-facility transport services, ambulance and paramedic services, and telehealth services. The platform provides an operational solution for whole-system visibility that is used as a single source of the truth in real-time, leveraging existing Health Information Systems to provide intelligent insights that allow key decision-makers and clinicians to take the right action at the right time.

SHREWD is enabling the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (“WRHA”) to leverage data from a wide variety of disparate information systems across the health network, aggregated to provide them with visibility of system pressures at a glance. SHREWD is supporting quality improvement and optimized patient flow across the acute facilities and will soon be adding support for three hybrid facilities in the region. The WRHA has been using VitalHub’s Oculys patient flow & operational visibility suite of solutions since 2015. The SHREWD platform is now delivering the next evolution of system integration and regional visibility to improve patient flow.

The WRHA and Shared Health Manitoba now join the likes of organizations like the National Health Service of England (“NHS England”), who has implemented SHREWD across System Coordination Centres to power command centers located across England. SHREWD also provides NHS England with their National Urgent & Emergency Care Coordination Centre, which provides local, regional, and national teams with access to patient flow information from across the country in support of a fully integrated health and care system.

“Regional collaboration plays an important role in our ever-changing healthcare landscape by supporting better care coordination and enhancing the services we provide to both Winnipeg residents and our surrounding communities. The ability to not only view where pressures are across our system, but also to understand why they’re occurring and see the actions required to relieve them, means SHREWD allows us to balance resources intelligently to support the parts of our system under stress,” said Mike Nader, President and Chief Executive Officer, WRHA.

“Collating real time demand & volume and providing an ability to view data across multiple facilities within a single place makes SHREWD a powerful tool to have at our disposal. The increased whole-system visibility into pressures across the Winnipeg region lets us see what’s coming our way so we can plan appropriately and take action, further supporting our ability to take a more proactive approach to regional patient flow,” said Katherine Graham, Executive Director, Acute & Community Care Coordination, WRHA.

“We’ve learned that when a bottleneck exists in one part of a health care system, it doesn’t take long for that bottleneck to negatively impact upstream services and other supports around it,” said Niels Tofting, Executive Vice President & Managing Director, North America at VitalHub. “SHREWD will now provide stakeholders across the Winnipeg region with an early-warning system and a single source of truth they can use to easily identify where pressures in the system are, what they are related to, why they are happening, and the actions requires to relieve them.”
