Product Capabilities

Bright.md is accessed via SSO with EHR portal credentials. Patient interviews are available on-demand from a mobile or desktop with just a 3G connection, in English and Spanish.

Bright.md provides an asynchronous virtual care solution in which a patient completes an online symptom assessment, which is reviewed by a provider who recommends a treatment plan and diagnosis. Data required for treatment is collected via a series of clinical interview questions that the patient provides answers to via multiple choice, open text, or by uploading a photo relative to their concern. Allergies, medications, and problem list for the patient is brought in from the EHR and made visible to the provider who is providing treatment.

Bright.md translates the patient interview into a chart-ready SOAP note and makes it readily available via MDM interface for integration as an encounter in the EHR. Bright.md presents all necessary information for the provider to confirm the diagnosis, change the diagnosis, or escalate the patient to a higher modality of care if they feel that treatment cannot be provided asynchronously.

Technical support is provided to our health system customers directly. We offer 24/7 support for our provider users and program administrator users.

Bright.md is staffed by health system providers, typically using a centralized care team that manages virtual visits. We can support multiple provider pools that may specialize in certain types of conditions, so patients awaiting treatment are segmented by condition.

Bright.md provides in-depth reporting to our customers to measure their utilization and success over time. Specific reporting metrics include: Provider efficiency Interview utilization Common diagnoses Patient satisfaction and feedback Prescription volumes Escalation rates

Bright.md provides the software solution for health systems to treat 130+ diagnoses virtually, without the use of video (asynchronous telehealth). Patients complete an on-demand interview at any time that captures a thorough symptom assessment while ruling out potentially emergent conditions, just like a face-to-face visit with a clinician. Patients receive questions based on their answers, and if an emergent condition is suspected, the patient is escalated out, with recommended next steps configured by your system. Clinical decision support provides a recommended diagnosis and treatment plan derived from evidence-based guidelines, along with a SOAP formatted chart-note logged as an encounter in your EHR—allowing providers efficiency while preserving autonomy and clinical judgment. Once the provider completes the asynchronous visits, the patient receives a complete after visit summary with treatment instructions and education, along with any prescriptions sent electronically to their preferred pharmacy.

Easy ability to text, call, and video call with providers and specialists. Integrations to connected devices, file and screen sharing, and group chats are all available and simple to use by either the provider or the patient.

VitalTech Insights, our business intelligence (BI) and advanced analytics tool enables our clients to analyze, visualize and better utilize patient data. It allows clients to quickly see outcome data and gain business insights to share with team members, enabling better care with greater efficiency. Care teams can connect to VitalTech Insights via VitalCare’s fully HIPAA-compliant clinical provider portal. Insights ingest EHR data, SHP data, claims data, and VitalTech data collected from multiple devices, patient surveys and questionnaires, and third-party sources. Using Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform, to analyze and customize the data, VitalTech Insights has demonstrated improved outcomes and improved costs of care. The analyses provided by VitalTech Insights deliver care teams with a visualized overview of patients’ health in a simple, easy-to-use platform, and data can be exported to easily digestible reports that can be shared with various members of the care team. Clients can customize reports as needed to help track their outcomes and other key performance measures. There are many out of the box reports available to clients, and additional custom reports can be easily created. Our team is here to assist with ongoing support to create custom reports and analyses.

VitalTech is hardware agnostic, supporting a wide range of devices and vendors with full integration to Apple Health and Google Fit. VitalTech has partnered with cutting-edge wearables and sensors to ensure patients' home safety and well-being.

Both patient and care team have constant access to communication via our platform.

The VitalCare patient application was designed with ease of use as one of the primary goals. It is simple and straightforward, and able to be used by people with little or no technical knowledge. One of the key focus areas for VitalTech has been developing simple, intuitive UI and communications. The UI is designed to be very senior friendly for low vision and dexterity . VitalTech follows the recommendation of the Joint Commission that all patient education materials (PEMs) should be written at or below a 5th grade reading level in order to address the health literacy needs of all patients. We are mindful that many of our patients utilizing the VitalCare application are elderly, with the average age of our users being 78. With that knowledge, we work hard to ensure that our application is easy to use no matter a patient’s age and/or technical literacy. VitalTech and AT&T initiated a strategic partnership to deliver best-in-class virtual care over FirstNet, ensuring patients and clinicians always have access to real-time data and communications to solve some of the more significant health equity issues the US healthcare system faces. From AT&T, we provide patient access to the FirstNet network mentioned prior. As a FirstNet subscriber, patients would get prioritized access on all AT&T LTE bands in addition to Band 14, while also receiving enhanced coverage in rural areas.

Pre-built patient care plans for a multitude of chronic disease states are available within the platform. These can easily be changed by the provider or our support team.

We have a dedicated customer success team that will continue to work with you and is always available to rectify any issues that may come up, for both you and any of the patients on the system. VitalTech offers a 24/7 customer and technical support service for both providers and patients.

Through the VitalCare Engagement module, clients can utilize and upload their own desired specialized training, as well as any of the VitalTech supplied patient education materials. VitalTech offers a library of education content with the goal of increasing patient engagement and understanding of their disease state and/or program, which leads to better outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Our content is evidence-based and updated regularly based on the latest clinical guidelines. It is developed, constantly evaluated and updated based on user data and feedback, and maintained by a team of physicians, writers, and editors. Our Interview is available in English or Spanish with medically-certified translation, and all of our content is created at a 4th-grade reading level, removing medical jargon and using images as easy guides. 

Because we've been building and refining our clinical content for more than eight years, improving with reviews and feedback from clinician leaders at some of the top health systems in the country, we've built a clinical content engine that cannot be replicated.

One of the Lead Clinicians at one client shared that he reviewed all of our content in detail and was "extremely impressed", sharing that it would "take thousands of hours of clinician time to even attempt".

Differentiators vs Competitors:

Robust, Proprietary Clinical Content

With Bright.md, your providers are reviewers of content, not creators. Our evidence-based content containing 29 unique interviews, and treating 130+ diagnoses, is developed and maintained by a team of board-certified physicians to keep yours focused on delivering care to patients.  

Self-Service Administration

Respond quickly to changing demands with real-time access to custom care routing, interview activation, and more.

Bi-directional EHR Integration
