Osler Health System Selects Medworxx Patient Flow to Improve Patient Care


The healthcare industry continues to face many challenges as the Affordable Care Act continues to move forward and consumers look for healthcare that doesn't break their wallet. The industry as a whole is implementing new technology to introduce a level of efficiency that will improve the way in which patients are cared for while at the same time cutting costs wherever possible. One organization that is introducing new technology to improve its overall operations is William Osler Health System (“Osler”) which announced the selection of Medworxx Patient Flow Platform to improve its patient flow at two of its facilities.

Osler has 849 patient beds at Brampton Civic Hospital and Etobicoke General Hospital, and by implementing the Medworxx solution, the organization will have a platform that will allow it to monitor, plan and implement processes for improving on how its resources can be improved for inpatient utilization.

The Medworxx Clinical Criteria module is designed to help organizations identify the best way to deliver patient care every day so clinicians can match patients with the right level of care no matter what the setting is.

The module is used as a decision support tool for everyone in the organization by combining unique sets of technologies with a methodology, process, communication and clinical information in a patient flow that is delivered in real-time. This allows staff to make quick decisions based on evidence.

With millions of new patients entering the healthcare system, health organizations are looking to find solutions that will allow them to address issues of overcapacity, wait times and care coordination to more effectively use the limited resources they have available.

"We are proud to have been awarded Osler’s patient flow software business following the RFP process, which further validates the relevance and strength of the Medworxx Patient Flow solution," said Niels Tofting, SVP, Sales, Medworxx.

Medworxx provides solutions for more than 350 hospitals around the world including, Australia, Canada, France, United Kingdom and the United States. The platforms it offers are designed to give these facilities the ability to meet patient flow challenges while at the same time meeting the requirements of regulatory compliance present in the healthcare industry.
