🚑 VectorCare + Lyft Smart on FHIR: Hospital Use Cases

1. Faster, More Efficient Discharge Planning

Problem: Discharge delays occur because patients lack a ride home or transportation is arranged manually via calls and faxes.

Value of the App:

  • Case managers can instantly request a Lyft trip directly from the EHR using FHIR data (patient demographics, pick-up location, discharge time).

  • Eliminates phone calls, manual forms, and coordination delays.

  • Reduces discharge bottlenecks that hold beds for hours or days.

Outcome: Faster throughput, higher bed availability, and reduced cost per inpatient stay.

2. Automated Trip Details Through FHIR Context

Problem: Transportation details are often typed manually, leading to errors in patient address, mobility level, or scheduling.

Value of the App:

  • Auto-pulls demographics, mobility, preferred address, appointment time, and clinical flags from the EHR.

  • Reduces errors and ensures the right vehicle type (Lyft standard, XL, wheelchair-accessible where available).

Outcome: Time savings for staff and safer, more appropriate ride assignment.

3. Reducing ED Boarding for Non-Emergent Patients

Problem: Many ED patients who are medically cleared cannot leave due to lack of transportation.

Value of the App:

  • ED nurses/social workers can request an immediate Lyft ride directly from the chart.

  • Patient can be moved out of ED within minutes, not hours.

Outcome: Higher ED throughput, improved door-to-doc times, and reduced LWBS rates.

4. Closing Gaps in Care for Outpatient / Ambulatory Visits

Problem: No-show appointments increase when patients rely on unreliable or costly transportation.

Value of the App:

  • Automatically schedules a Lyft ride for follow-up visits, labs, imaging, or primary care appointments.

  • Uses EHR-integrated data to align arrival time with appointment time.

Outcome: Lower no-shows, higher adherence to care plans, improved clinical outcomes.

5. Supporting Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) Programs

Problem: Under-resourced patients frequently miss visits due to transportation challenges.

Value of the App:

  • Social workers can instantly schedule rides using the patient’s chart info.

  • Hospitals can track ride utilization and outcomes for SDOH reporting.

Outcome: Better equity, better compliance, and improved community outcomes.

6. Streamlined Transport for Imaging & Procedural Workflows

Problem: Patients often must travel between hospital campuses or buildings (e.g., imaging, infusion, same-day procedures).

Value of the App:

  • Integrated FHIR location data makes inter-campus transfers seamless.

  • Staff schedule rides with one click while keeping the patient workflow aligned in the EHR.

Outcome: Reduced intra-facility delays and fewer missed slots in radiology or procedural departments.

7. Safe Transport for Patients Discharging to Non-Medical Facilities

  • (RSNF, shelters, temporary housing, recovery programs)

  • Problem: Hospitals often struggle coordinating rides for vulnerable patients, requiring multiple phone calls.

Value of the App:

  • Pre-populate destination facilities from templates.

  • Document the ride in the EHR automatically for risk and compliance.

Outcome: Faster placement and improved support for high-risk populations.

8. Automated Documentation & Audit Trail

Problem: Hospitals must document how patients were transported and maintain compliance with payer and audit requirements.

Value of the App:

  • Ride events and costs write back into the EHR via FHIR.

  • No need to manually chart the patient’s transport.

Outcome: Cleaner audits, reduced administrative burden, and accurate encounter documentation.

9. Integration With Hospital Billing / Cost Centers

Problem: Transportation costs are manually tracked or lost.

Value of the App:

  • Allocate transportation spending to specific cost centers or service lines.

  • Nurses and case managers do not need to worry about managing invoices.

Outcome: Financial transparency and better budgeting.

10. Support for Hospital-at-Home or Remote Monitoring Programs

Problem: Delivering equipment or transporting patients for at-home care requires coordination.

Value of the App:

  • Schedule Lyft rides to deliver equipment or transport patients for temporary in-home care transitions.

  • Works seamlessly with EHR-based care pathways.

Outcome: Supports expansion of home-based care models.

None provided

Differentiators

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

Roundtrip is not an EHR platform, however we do integrate with common EHR platforms like Epic. Our software is used by care coordinators to book patient rides with a network of transportation providers. By integrating with EHR platforms, the data pulls through more easily and accurate so that it is translated into the ride booking request automatically. 

Differentiators vs Competitors:
  • Transportation Company-Agnostic: Roundtrip is intentionally transportation company-agnostic, which provides the space for optimization based on the data without other incentive to route rides. Roundtrip does not require a joint venture with a health system or upfront investment in capital expenses such as trucks to launch.
  • Market-Aggregation: Roundtrip was designed to enable a transportation community, where multiple different transportation companies have access to the ride requests. This allows case managers to optimize patient flow by simultaneously accessing numerous transportation vendors at once, not just automating a single phone call.
  • Tech Enabled Service: Roundtrip has a 24/7 navigation center to support rides and get authorizations, a transportation team to build networks, account teams to support long-term success of accounts and deep expertise to advise on transportation
  • Integration Centric: Roundtrip is designed with and for hospital staff to work within the health system workflows, including EHR integrations, CarePort & TigerConnect.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

There is no Lyft service for Epic. This is the first of its kind.

Differentiators vs Competitors:

VectorCare – Key Differentiators (vs Mōvi, StatCall, Roundtrip)

1. First SMART on FHIR App for Lyft / Patient Logistics

Fully embedded inside Epic, Cerner, and Allscripts.

Launches directly from the patient chart—no separate login or portal.

Auto-populates all patient + encounter data instantly.

2. True “In-EHR” Workflow (Zero App Switching)

Case managers, ED nurses, and social workers stay inside the EHR.

Eliminates manual data entry, cutting scheduling from ~31 minutes to under 1 minute.

Reduces errors and improves compliance documentation.

3. Full-Service Logistics Platform (Beyond Transport)

Coordinates transport + home health + DME + post-acute support in one workflow.

Competitors largely focus on transport only.

4. No-Code Workflow Builder

Hospitals can design custom discharge or service workflows without IT effort.

Hyper-localize by facility, department, or service line.

5. Unified Vendor Network + Rideshare + NEMT

Lyft/Uber + wheelchair + gurney + ambulance vendors, all in the same platform.

Hospitals are not forced into a single NEMT broker model.

6. Real-Time Tracking & Status Inside the EHR

Live GPS, ETAs, on-scene, ride events, alerts — all charted automatically.

Removes the need for phone calls between case managers and vendors.

7. Faster Deployment, Minimal IT Burden

SMART on FHIR + no-code = rapid implementation across entire systems.

Significantly lower IT requirements than traditional NEMT platforms.

8. Designed for Discharge + Throughput Optimization

Focused on bed turnover, ED throughput, and delayed discharge prevention.

Competitors skew toward outpatient NEMT or recurring transport, not inpatient flow.

9. Single Platform for All Service Requests

Transportation, equipment deliveries, home-health visits, and more.

Hospitals reduce tool sprawl and simplify user training.

10. Automatic Documentation + Audit Trail

All ride and service data is written back into the EHR for compliance.

Avoids chart gaps and payer disputes.
