Medworxx Patient Throughput Review Market Update

Medworxx Solutions Inc. ("Medworxx") (TSX VENTURE: MWX) today is pleased to issue the Q2/2014 market update for the Medworxx Patient Throughput Review ("PTR") program. Since its introduction in 2013, the PTR has been widely accepted by hospitals and health systems internationally. The PTR methodology leverages the Medworxx Clinical Criteria Module software to unlock unique patient flow information to help organizations understand the scope of their patient flow issues and identify specific opportunities to improve quality and performance.

Management consulting companies, Medworxx clinical consultants and hospital process improvement groups are able to use the Medworxx Clinical Criteria Module to rapidly identify patient flow data, providing visibility into patient flow issues in the hospitals that they provide services to. Consulting companies and hospital process improvement groups are able to license the Medworxx software to deliver PTRs independent of Medworxx.

Since the Q1/2014 market update issued April 30, 2014, seven additional PTRs have been successfullydelivered in Canada (2), the United Kingdom (4) and the United States (1). This brings the total number of PTRs completed to date to 32. PTRs have been completed in five countries to date; Australia, Canada, France, the UK and the US. Medworxx and their consulting partners are working with each site to analyze PTR data to support strategic decision making and improve performance and quality outcomes. "Our recent PTR with Medworxx provided us with the data needed to identify and analyze patient throughput delays and recommend strategies for performance improvement," Stefani Daniels, Managing Partner, Phoenix Medical Management, USA.

Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Ontario, Canada, recently completed a PTR, supported by Medworxx Clinical Consultants, to assess current patient flow performance at the hospital. "The PTR was extremely comprehensive and the findings were very helpful in identifying areas for improvement, complete with actionable recommendations. The PTR delivered valuable data that would otherwise be out of reach for us," stated Malcolm Moffat, EVP Programs, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

"We are excited to see PTR related activity continue in the regions we are actively marketing into. In the last two quarters we have completed PTR engagements in the US, Canada, France and the UK both independently and together with consulting partners. We continue to believe that the PTR will provide hospitals with the benchmark analysis needed to build a business case in order take steps to embed our Clinical Criteria Module for real-time operational use," said Dan Matlow, CEO and President, Medworxx.
