-- Vitalhub (VHI.TO) said Tuesday its Novari Health unit has executed a multi-year agreement to implement referral central intake technology across multiple regions in Ontario.
According to Vitalhub, central intake models have been proven to improve patient access to care by centrally receiving, triaging, and routing referrals to the most appropriate clinical setting, with the shortest wait time and as close to the patient's home as possible.
Novari uses cloud and AI for its central intake technology, helping improve wait times and ensure that the right patients get treated at the right time and by the right provider.
Novari's central intake technology has been deployed in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, Vitalhub said.
The partnership is part of Ontario's Patients Before Paperwork initiative, according to Vitalhub.
The company's share price gained 7% on Monday to C$7.46 on the TSX Venture Exchange.
