KITCHENER, ON / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2023 / Cloud DX (TSXV:CDX)(OTCQB:CDXFF), a leading North American provider of remote patient monitoring services announces that St Mary’s General Hospital (SMGH) in Kitchener Ontario is increasing their deployment of Connected Health remote patient monitoring products and services provided by Cloud DX.
This is the first new contract to be delivered under the procurement agreement with Mohawk Medbuy, a national, not-for-profit, shared services organization trusted by hundreds of Canadian hospitals and health care providers to drive value, efficiencies and cost savings on the supplies and services they use, announced on June 21, 2023.
St. Mary’s is a current Cloud DX customer and has deployed Connected Health for cardiac patients (https://www.smgh.ca/areas-of-care/cardiac-care/cardiac-clinics) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients (https://www.smgh.ca/areas-of-care/respiratory-thoracic-care/outpatient-respiratory-care) so far to date.
This new contract for Connected Health Kits and remote care monitoring services will help St. Mary’s support up to 500 new patients annually and is valued at approximately $1,700,000 CAD over the full extended contract. The contract allows support of current programs as well as the potential to expand or offer new remote care monitoring programs in the future. This contract is expected to fall within the $3,000,000 CAD award announced by Mohawk Medbuy for the first 2 Cloud DX contracts.
A statement from St. Mary’s General Hospital:
“St. Mary’s has gratefully received funding from Ontario Health to continue operating clinical remote care monitoring solutions. This type of monitoring enables us to better support our current patients in the community, as well as expanding service to those patients who are experiencing travel barriers. Cloud DX has been, and will continue to be, instrumental in allowing St. Mary’s to provide a user-friendly, high-quality service that supports patients to receive care in their home, reducing the need for hospitalizations and unplanned emergency department visits.”
Success Story:
“Recently a post-cardiac-surgery patient, using the Cloud DX Connected Health Kit, reported low blood pressure and dizziness. The Cardiac Surgery Nurse Practitioner called and assessed the patient. During the assessment, the Nurse Practitioner was able to provide medication instructions and requested a Rapid Response Nurse visit for that day. Later in the day the Cardiac Surgery Nurse Practitioner connected with the patient by phone and provided further medication and fluid instructions. The following day the patient successfully captured their weight and blood pressure readings. The Cardiac Surgery Nurse Practitioner followed up and confirmed the patients’ blood pressure improved, their weight and symptoms stabilized, and further medication instructions were provided. By using the Cloud DX Connected Health Kit for Remote Care Management, the patient prevented a visit to the ER, a potential hospital admission, and potential harm to the patient.”
Cloud DX CEO and Founder Robert Kaul responded, “Cloud DX is very happy to grow our successful relationship with St. Mary’s General Hospital in our hometown of Kitchener ON. St. Mary’s exceptional remote patient monitoring and rapid response nursing programs are making a positive, life-affirming impact on patient outcomes in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, while providing efficiencies that reduce the overall cost of care. These programs are models for the hundred-plus Mohawk Medbuy members who can now procure Connected Health across Canada”.
