Product Capabilities

Brado’s CEP works alongside existing provider directories to facilitate patient exploration and connection to care. This functionality helps patients find the right provider faster—without frustration or confusion—and reduces leakage by keeping them within the branded health system experience.

Brado is ISO 27001 certified, demonstrating our commitment to a globally recognized information security standard. This certification underscores our focus on systematic risk management, business continuity, and continuous improvement of our security practices. Brado undergoes an annual SOC 2 Type II audit, providing independent validation that our security controls are not only well-designed but consistently effective over time. This audit affirms our commitment to SOC 2 Type II compliance, representing the highest standards of confidentiality, integrity, and availability in how we manage and protect client data. Our Conversational Engagement Platform (CEP) in combination with our digital marketing services are designed to support compliance with HIPAA requirements, including both the Privacy Rule and Security Rule. We implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to ensure that all client data—especially Protected Health Information (PHI)—is collected, stored, accessed, and transmitted securely and in accordance with HIPAA standards.

Our platform is built on a cloud-native foundation, enabling it to scale effortlessly as data volumes grow or as new use cases arise. This ensures that we can handle increasing complexity and demand without compromising performance or reliability.

We focus on open standards and APIs, making it easy to integrate with emerging technologies, third-party tools, and partner ecosystems. We are aligning our platform with MCP and A2A, the internet protocols of the agentic AI era, to be ready for tomorrow’s ecosystem of intelligent, collaborative agents.Our platform leverages user feedback loops, and real-world data to continuously refine and optimize its performance.

Brado’s CEP works with existing online scheduling tools and infrastructure, serving hand-offs within the platform for seamless transitions to scheduling systems. The platform is EHR-agnostic, ensuring a consistent experience across systems, and can be configured to support call center workflows.

Brado’s CEP leverages a Mile Zero SEO and paid search strategy to engage patients at the earliest moments of uncertainty—often before they’ve identified a provider or diagnosis. Our multi-lingual platform meets consumers where they are, guiding them through generative AI–powered conversations that assess symptoms and determine the appropriate next step in care. This experience transitions seamlessly with existing scheduling systems, call centers, and EHRs, ensuring smooth hand-offs to the right endpoints—whether that’s a virtual visit, specialist referral, or community resource.

Brado’s CEP intelligently routes patients by assessing their needs in real time and matching them to the most appropriate care option—whether that’s on-demand virtual care, urgent care, primary care, or community-based services. The platform is designed to aggregate available care inventory and flexibly transition between care modes based on acuity, availability, and consumer preference. It can leverage virtual provider pools to optimize resource use and supports broader digital front door capabilities—scheduling, symptom checkers, call centers, and EHRs—to ensure continuity and a frictionless consumer experience

Brado’s CEP offers personalized care management and engagement grounded in a deep understanding of the patient journey, including tensions or sticking points that may hinder a patient from moving forward with care. The platform enables users to input their ZIP code to surface relevant local resources, providers, and services. These unguided interactions are designed to feel intuitive, helping patients take action confidently.

Brado’s CEP is built on nearly 30 years of proprietary insight into the healthcare journey—enabling a level of contextual understanding that surpasses open models. Our deep research with patients, caregivers, and providers across a wide range of therapeutic categories allows the platform to recognize not just what people are asking, but why. This enables our AI to anticipate needs, respond with relevance, and guide users to the right resource or action at the right moment. The result is a shift from reactive automation to a trusted, intelligent companion—offering meaningful, behavior-shaping support that drives better health outcomes.

Brado’s CEP is built on curated resource libraries that prioritize accuracy, safety, and trust. Content is sourced exclusively from client-approved materials and credible medical authorities—such as academic institutions, government health agencies, and leading clinical organizations. Our platform includes built-in guardrails to ensure responses remain safe and evidence-based. Information is continuously reviewed and updated to reflect current best practices, and responses are tailored to meet each patient’s immediate needs with relevance and clarity—helping them make informed decisions with confidence.

Use Cases

Description:

🚑 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.

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.
