Product Capabilities

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.

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.

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.

  • Improve the use of antimicrobial medications

Reduce Antimicrobial Resistance

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, The Joint Commission and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all health care settings use antimicrobials judiciously to reduce the likelihood of antimicrobial resistance.

Look to our expert pharmacists to:

  • Verify that antimicrobials prescribed for common infections (urinary tract infection, pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infection, clostridium difficile, methacillin-resistant staph aureus, etc.) comply with standards, clinical guidelines and protocols in your institution
  • Follow culture results to ensure the organism is covered by the antimicrobial regimen and to suggest a more narrow-spectrum treatment, if appropriate
  • Ensure appropriate dosing of agents based upon renal and hepatic function
  • Provide patient-specific pharmacokinetic dosing, such as aminoglycosides or vancomycin

If a facility does not have an on-site pharmacist, Avel eCare Pharmacy can also complete an antibiotic review within 48 hours to achieve compliance with the antibiotic time out.

Differentiators vs EHR Functionality:

While EHRs are often viewed as competitors, it is clear that their current functionality is not comparable. EHRs do not provide clients with actionable insights that lead to informed decision making.

VitalCare Admin not only stores all the data but also provides valuable insights through VitalTech Insights and automates provider workflows with VitalTech Care+.

EHRs are introducing new features in an attempt to keep up with the innovative virtual care solutions, but unfortunately they continue to fall short in their functionality.
