/CNW/ - Medworxx Inc. (Medworxx) (TSXV: MWX),
provider of healthcare solutions for patient flow, compliance and
education, is pleased to announce that the Erie St. Clair Local Health
Integration Network (LHIN) and Consolidated Health Information Services
(CHIS) have licensed the Medworxx Utilization Management System (UMS)
for all of its hospitals following a competitive public tender process.

The Erie St. Clair LHIN is one of 14 LHINs in Ontario that were
established by the Government of Ontarioin order to plan,
fund,andmonitor health care services at the local level. The Erie St.
Clair LHIN hospitals include; Windsor Regional Hospital, Bluewater
Health, Chatham Kent Health Alliance, Leamington District Memorial
Hospital, and Hôtel-Dieu Grace Hospital.

The Medworxx UMS is a concurrent review tool used by clinicians that
includes acute and non-acute sets of criteria that are applied to
patients to determine their appropriateness for admission and assesses
patients daily to determine their continued appropriateness to be in a
particular care setting. Medworxx UMS improves the patient flow in
hospitals by quickly identifying barriers, delays and interruptions to
the plan of care to support immediate resolution, as well as establishes
a common framework for improved communication between healthcare
providers.

The Medworxx UMS is currently used to assess patients in more than 7,000
beds in Ontario, which represents approximately 38% of all acute care
beds and more than 13,000 beds in the rest of Canada. The Erie St. Clair
LHIN is the second Ontario LHIN to license the Medworxx UMS at a LHIN
level.

The Erie St. Clair LHIN has invested more than $200,000.00 along with
contributions from each hospital into this program to address the
serious challenges faced by all Canadian hospitals to improve access to
care by streamlining their patient flow processes and reducing the
number of inpatients who are designated Alternate Level of Care (ALC),
which means that their care needs no longer require a hospital stay.

All of our hospitals are looking at ALC issues. This project is a big
step forward by all of our hospitals to collectively understand and
improve our ALC challenges in Erie St. Clair. Working together, the LHIN
and hospitals are levering a big improvement in care to elders. I would
like to thank CHIS and the staff from all the hospitals for their very
thorough work evaluating all the potential products and making this
decision. Gary Switzer, CEO, Erie St. Clair LHIN

Consolidated Health Information Services, a regional shared services
organization that provides information technology and information
management, leadership and service delivery to all of the hospitals, as
well as other health service providers in the Erie St. Clair LHIN, will
work with Medworxx to implement and support the system.

The Medworxx tool represents a huge advance for hospitals in Erie St.
Clair by helping them to proactively monitor and manage patient flow and
allowing them to anticipate access issues and mitigate them as quickly
as possible. CHIS is excited to partner with Medworxx to bring this
innovative utilization system to Erie St. Clair. Being at the forefront
of health care information technology, management and service provision
is what CHIS is all about and were thrilled to be able to support the
hospitals in adopting this proven solution. Stephen Banyai, President
and CEO, Consolidated Health Information Services (CHIS).

Medworxx has successfully rolled out our Utilization Management System
across much of the country and ultimately would like each hospital in
Canada using our solution and think that theres a very strong business
case to support this goal. We plan to leverage our Canadian success to
expand this solution internationally. The Erie St Clair LHIN contract is
further evidence of the value of this solution to address an
international concern related to patient flow, said Dan Matlow,
President & CEO, Medworxx. The contract with the Erie St. Clair LHIN
will bring more than $800,000 in revenue to Medworxx over a 5 year
period.
