TORONTO, Nov. 18 /CNW/ - Medworxx Inc. ("Medworxx") (TSXV: MWX), provider of healthcare solutions for patient flow, compliance and education, is pleased to announce that Premier Health Partners has implemented the Medworxx Policy & Procedure Management System. Premier Health Partners (PHP) is an expansive health system that brings together a powerful group of medical professionals, advanced technology and more than 65 locations, designed to improve access to health care spanning southwest Ohio, including Dayton and northern Cincinnati. The Medworxx solution enables PHP to collect knowledge in an easily accessible format, allowing users to search for and identify critical information efficiently and expediently, supporting hospital compliance and increasing patient safety.

"We needed a new system to help us manage our policies and procedures in one, web-based environment. The Medworxx Policy & Procedure Management System allows us to manage and store three of our acute care facilities' specific sets of policies and procedures in one system," said Mikki Clancy, Vice President and Chief Information Officer, Premier Health Partners. The ability to introduce a standard and consistent template to be used across our health system has been very beneficial." PHP also benefits from the sophisticated search capabilities, the simple administration, and the automated workflow management of the Medworxx solution, helping to ensure that their healthcare workers have access to the information they need, when they need it. Three of the four acute care facilities each have their own site, with cross searching capability providing an integrated solution.

"Premier Health Partners is a great addition to the ever-growing Medworxx family and we are delighted to have them on board", said Dan Matlow, President & CEO, Medworxx. "Increased compliance, reduced costs, and increased productivity are all benefits associated with organizations using the Medworxx Policy & Procedure Management System. The Medworxx solution, which combines technology and best practices for hospitals, is ideal for supporting large health systems."
