Referral Manager:
Get the Right Information to the Right People at the Right Time.Difficulties with information exchange or disparate systems can disrupt the referral process. Referral Manager bridges these gaps, streamlining collaboration. The result is a smooth transition from referring physician to specialist and back to referring physician, producing more effective patient care. The key to this process lies in two functions unique to our platform: Network Builder and Image Exchange.
VitalEngine resolves communication issues between Primary Care and referred physicians, improving the quality and speed of patient care.
Specialists: While 69% of PCPs reported sending notification of a patient’s history and reason for consultation to specialists, only 35% of specialists said they received such notification.
Primary care physicians: While 80% of specialists said they send consultation results to the referring PCP, only 62% of PCPs said they received such information.

VitalEngine is Transforming
Healthcare Communication.
Here’s What Our Users Say:
Vital Engine is a remarkable technology that allows the very best care for our patients. The ability to exchange information and receive expert opinions in real-time has removed many of the roadblocks in getting the higher levels of care or opinions often needed in critical situations.

VitalEngine makes it easier to transfer patient information, not just the medical records but images as well. We’ve had to wait more than a month for C.D.s to arrive in the mail. Not all hospital systems “talk” to each other, but VitalEngine makes setting up referrals flawless.

VitalEngine will greatly facilitate our ability to render efficient care for our patients and interact with their other care providers.

I love VitalEngine! It has changed our approach to medicine, supporting true collaboration among physicians and staff. We manage patients from referring physicians and hospitals, so it brings everyone together in one central place to share images, reports, documents, and conversations.

VitalEngine is the best way to get any patient’s entire care team on the same page. It is a passport for physicians to access critical comprehensive information in a patient’s medical record that typically isn’t readily available.

VitalEngine has been a game-changer for enabling the very best in patient care in rural communities. The ability to send information immediately allows for real-time decisions and appropriate utilization of resources. Ultimately, for all specialists serving rural areas, this matches to serve the communities the very best we can.

The VitalEngine platform fills the gaps and smoothes the bumps in exchanging information between referring physicians and tertiary care providers. When information exchange is more accurate and efficient, the quality and timeliness of patient care increase.

Learning the software and internet modifications to offer telehealth was challenging. Doxy.me and Zoom were not the right fit. The aptly named “VitalEngine” software will indeed power our practice to the next level. Initiation of the program was fast and easy, superior to all previous technology attempts. We are excited to build our services utilizing VitalEngine.
