VitalHub Corp. announced that it has partnered with the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) who will implement SHREWD to provide strategic and operational whole-system visibility for improving care coordination and patient flow. The SHREWD platform provides an operational visibility layer used as a single source of the truth in real-time, leveraging existing Health Information Systems to provide intelligent insights and allowing managers and key decision-makers to take the right action at the right time.

SHREWD will enable the WRHA to leverage data from a wide variety of disparate information systems across the health network, aggregated to provide stakeholders with visibility of system pressures at a glance. SHREWD will support quality improvement and optimized patient flow across the acute and sub-acute facilities in the region. The WRHA has been using VitalHub's Oculys patient flow & operational visibility suite of solutions since 2015.

The SHREWD platform will deliver the next evolution of system integration and regional visibility supporting optimized patient flow across the region. The WRHA serves a population of more than 750,000 people, including residents of the city of Winnipeg and the rural municipalities of East and West St. Paul.

It also provides healthcare support and speciality referral services to nearly half a million Manitobans who live beyond these boundaries, as well as residents of northwestern Ontario and Nunavut, who often require the services and expertise available within the WRHA.
