News Release – For Immediate Release

London, UK – 26th October 2018: Intouch With Health Ltd, the leading provider of hospital flow solutions in the UK, and Strata Health, the global leader in intelligent patient transition technology, have announced a collaboration. This collaboration is designed to accelerate patient access to the most appropriate care upon presentation at Emergency A&E departments.

“As we again approach winter flu season, A&E resources find themselves under siege to provide timely triage and services as patient A&E visits swell,” observes Clint Schick, MD Strata Health Ltd. “We have joined with Intouch with Health, to bring Strata’s “intelligent patient™”resource matching technology, together with Intouch’s industry leading patient-facing registration and triage solutions. This will allow patients to be optimally streamed to the care they really need…often avoiding A&E interventions completely.”

Mike Sanders, CEO Intouch with Health continues,” It’s really a big win for all stakeholders. By using our patient friendly kiosk technology on arrival at A&E, patients can now be matched by Strata Health functionality in real time to more appropriate care options unless actual emergency A&E care is required. This will ensure that A&E resources remain available for those patients really needing acute interventions. Patients will achieve better and faster more appropriate care versus long waits in crowded A&E environments.”

The partnership will launch ahead of 2018 English winter pressures in support of NHS England acute trusts; but will be expanded as a component of both firms’ worldwide acute avoidance practices in 2019.
