Tuesday, March 26, 2024 (Bathurst, NB)<\/b> \u2013 Vitalit\u00e9 Health Network, through its membership with the Coordinated Accessible National (CAN) Health Network, is deploying a digital platform to improve surgical outcomes for patients. The platform, created by Toronto-based SeamlessMD, guides patients before, during and after surgery. It has been proven to reduce readmissions and emergency department visits and shorten length of hospital stay.<\/p>\n

SeamlessMD\u2019s digital platform gives patients access to care plans on their phones, tablets, or computers, with empowering step-by-step guidance through automated workflows with reminders, education, progress tracking, and symptom monitoring, all thoughtfully curated by their healthcare team.<\/p>\n

The platform not only benefits patients, but also enables health care providers and care teams to receive alerts, monitor patients remotely via dashboards, and access data from anywhere, enhancing decision-making and patient care efficiency.<\/p>\n

SeamlessMD has been proven to reduce hospital readmissions by up to 89%, emergency department (ED) visits by 72%, and hospital length of stay by 1-5 days depending on the specialty. \u201cOur collaboration with the Vitalit\u00e9 Health Network teams to improve health outcomes is a significant milestone towards improving patient care across New Brunswick,\u201d said Dr. Josh Liu, CEO and Co-Founder, SeamlessMD. \u201cWe are committed to supporting patients across their surgical journey, ensuring every patient gets the right care at the right time.\u201d<\/p>\n

The digital care pathway platform will be available to patients undergoing surgery in the Surgical Suite of the Dr-Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Center, the Chaleur Regional Hospital or the Edmundston Regional Hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cDeveloping a standardized, patient-centric navigation process will help increase patient satisfaction, prevent readmissions, shorten the length of stays and reduce ED visits. By innovating our care plan for patient navigation, we also aim to reduce costs and increase the volume of procedures\u201d, indicated Dr. Natalie Banville, Senior Vice-President, Client Programs and Medical Affairs.<\/p>\n

Vitalit\u00e9 will explore the use of SeamlessMD’s platform for patients undergoing hip, knee, colorectal and gynecological oncology surgery, with the support of the CAN Health Network – a federally funded national organization working to introduce more Canadian innovation into Canada\u2019s health care system – and funding from the Department of Health.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeamlessMD is an incredible Canadian company that is transforming care for patients and health care providers across North America,\u201d said Dr. Dante Morra, Founder and Chair, CAN Health Network. \u201cCAN Health is proud to support this collaboration with Vitalit\u00e9 and looks forward to seeing the results this project has on the quality of, and access to, surgical care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe partnership between Vitalit\u00e9 Health Network and SeamlessMD is yet another example of the success that our government\u2019s CAN Health Network is bringing to the Canadian healthcare system,\u201d said the Honourable Rechie Valdez, Minister of Small Business. \u201cBy connecting healthcare providers with organizations who are creating innovative healthcare solutions, CAN Health is building meaningful partnerships across the country that will help fill the gaps in our healthcare system and provide Canadians with a more efficient experience as they navigate healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n
