SeniorLife Strengthens Commitment
to Accurate Patient
Data Capture
and Management With Vettro FieldMaster
for Healthcare
Vettro's
Packaged Web and BlackBerry-based
Application Enables Healthcare
Organization to Enhance Administration
Processes and Better Service
Prospective Patients
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2006--Vettro,
a global leader in on-demand
mobile business applications,
today announced Hebrew SeniorLife
is deploying Vettro FieldMaster
for Healthcare to electronically
capture and manage patient
evaluation data from a centralized
database. With the deployment,
the Hebrew SeniorLife office
staff can use Vettro's Web-based
back-end service to create
or edit referrals, lookup patient
notes and details, generate
reports, and dispatch referrals
to mobile workers. Patient
liaisons and nurses in the
field equipped with Vettro
FieldMaster for Healthcare
on BlackBerry® from Research
In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM - News ;
TSX: RIM - News )
can receive immediate notification
of new referrals with full
associated details, share referral
updates with the central office,
and ultimately accelerate the
overall evaluation and admission
process.
"Vettro FieldMaster is helping
our organization improve our
most important business metrics:
quality of care, occupancy, and
administrative expense," Fran
Hinckley, CIO of Hebrew SeniorLife. "The
ability to capture and centralize
critical patient data in real-time
makes Vettro's solution indispensable
to our organization."
Hebrew SeniorLife selected Vettro's
solution as part of a larger
initiative to enhance the quality
of interactions with each prospective
patient and reduce inefficiencies
associated with paper-based forms
throughout the organization.
"Patient evaluation data represents
the very first component of the
medical record for potential
admissions to healthcare organizations
like Hebrew SeniorLife, and we
have an obligation to ensure
the integrity of information
for patients entrusted to us," said
Joe Martini, vice president of
marketing and communications
for Hebrew SeniorLife. "Vettro's
solution is enabling us to take
a big step forward in managing
and sharing patient details in
real-time while building a strong
foundation for additional enhancements
leveraging the centralized patient
referral database in the future."
As an on-demand packaged solution,
Vettro FieldMaster for Healthcare
can be deployed to both desktop
and BlackBerry users within a
matter of minutes, with the mobile
client installed completely over
the wireless network. All customizations
and changes to the hosted back-end
are automatically detected by
the mobile application, minimizing
administrative costs required
to maintain the mobile client.
Additionally, the application
remains fully accessible even
outside of wireless coverage
areas, and all data captured
offline is automatically re-transmitted
when the user moves back into
coverage.
"In today's regulatory environment,
healthcare organizations are
faced with a real need to move
toward paperless processes, but
few options in the market offer
them a cost-effective means to
get started," said Matt Finkelstein,
general manager of field service
products for Vettro. "The users
at Hebrew SeniorLife have provided
us with tremendous insight into
the requirements for this industry,
and we're pleased to be a part
of the organization's success."
