MEDWORXX SOLUTIONS INC. News Release
TORONTO, ONTARIO, January 15, 2015 - Medworxx Solutions Inc. ("Medworxx") (TSX VENTURE: MWX), a leading healthcare patient flow software solutions provider, is pleased to announce that Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph (St. Joseph) has selected Medworxx as their Patient Flow software provider. Located in the South of Paris, France, St. Joseph will implement the Medworxx Clinical Criteria module for 410 Medicine/ Surgery patient beds.
The hospital's decision to implement the Medworxx solution for operational use comes as a result of conducting an Appropriate Length of Stay Audit (ALSA) with Medworxx Clinical Consultants in 2014. The goal of the ALSA was to analyze current patient flow metrics and review recommendations to improve patient flow. "After successfully testing the Medworxx solution, via the ALSA, and reviewing operational results from the UK and Canada, we see that the solution is highly effective in helping organizations to monitor, plan and implement process improvements. We believe it will be valuable at St. Joseph but also believe the solution is needed in the French Market at large, particularly in this challenging financial situation," said Jean-Patrick Lajonchère, Directeur Général (CEO), Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph.
"We now have operational use of the Medworxx solution in three distinct countries with three distinct health systems. We continue to prove that the Medworxx solution is applicable within International markets. The French market represents a large opportunity for Medworxx", says Dan Matlow, President and CEO, Medworxx.
The Medworxx Clinical Criteria module will enable the hospital to identify the clinical appropriateness of each patient's level of care, each day, and will provide clinicians with the ability to match patients with the right level of care, at the right time and in the most appropriate setting. The solution combines a unique methodology, process, communication, technology, and clinical information as a decision support tool for all levels of an organization. The Medworxx Patient Flow Platform provides hospitals with tools to bridge clinical and operational perspectives on daily patient flow -addressing issues of overcapacity, wait times and care coordination.

Le Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph devient le premier site français à mettre en œuvre le module Critères Cliniques de Medworxx
La décision de l'hôpital d'utiliser la solution Medworxx de façon opérationnelle fait suite à la conduite d'un audit ALSA (Appropriate Length of Stay Audit) en 2014 afin d'analyser les performances de l'établissement en matière de gestion des flux de patients.
Le module Critères Cliniques va permettre à l'hôpital d'identifier le niveau de soin approprié aux besoins et à l'état du patient pour chaque journée d'hospitalisation et de garantir la pertinence des soins : le patient recevant le bon niveau de soins au bon moment au bon endroit. La solution est un outil combinant une méthodologie unique, une technologie avancée et l'information clinique favorisant la communication et la prise de décision à tous les niveaux de l'organisation. La plateforme Flux de Patients de Medworxx permet d'accorder les perspectives cliniques et opérationnelles au quotidien pour gérer les flux de patients, les problématiques de surcapacité, de temps d'attente et de coordination des soins.
« Après une évaluation positive de la solution Medworxx lors de l'audit ALSA et l'étude des résultats issus d'implantations opérationnelles au Royaume Uni et au Canada, cette solution nous apparaît plus que bénéfique dans des contextes économique difficile et d'amélioration continue, de recherche d'efficience pour les établissements hospitaliers » annonce Jean-Patrick Lajonchère, Directeur général du Groupe hospitalier Paris Saint-Joseph.
« La solution Critères Cliniques de Medworxx est désormais utilisée opérationnellement dans trois pays différents aux systèmes de santé bien distincts. Nous continuons ainsi de prouver que la solution de Medworxx s'exporte à l'international.déclare Dan Matlow, Président et CEO de Medworxx.
