The Medworxx UMS delivers a patient-centric focus of daily assessments of every patient, and provides a series of criteria sets for different patient populations to determine their appropriateness of admission and each continued day of care. Medworxx further improves the patient flow in hospitals by quickly identifying barriers, delays, and interruptions to the plan of care for immediate resolution, as well as establishing a common framework for improved interdisciplinary communication.
"We believe the Medworxx UMS will complement our iCare program, improving patient flow within the entire Health Authority and enhancing interdisciplinary communication," said

Its broad mandate includes efficiency improvement at every point in the continuum of care.
"We are extremely excited to welcome Fraser Health Authority to the family of Medworxx customers", said
