Vital Data Technology, a provider of emergency medical information systems, and EMSystem, a provider of real-time emergency communications and resource management solutions, have joined in a strategic partnership to deliver improved emergency care through the combination of healthcare technology solutions. Vital Data Technology’s MyVitalData will be accessible to EMSystem’s customers – 1,200 U.S.-based hospitals throughout 26 states – to provide secure access to critical patient health information at the emergency point-of-care.
Unlike stand-alone patient health records (PHR), MyVitalData is the first and only Emergency Care Gateway that tethers a patient’s emergency health record to an emergency care network that can only be accessed by authorized personnel. By providing real-time access to vital health information, the Emergency Care Gateway helps improve patient safety, treatment decision support and overall quality of care, while lowering overall healthcare costs through decreased diagnosis and admission times.
“EMSystem’s technology is a perfect complement to MyVitalData,” said Matt D’Ambrosia, CEO of Vital Data Technology. “Through this partnership, MyVitalData will help 35 percent of the U.S population during health emergencies as well as man-made and natural disasters by providing life-saving patient information at the point-of-care—even when the patient is unable to communicate. No other emergency health record connects to EMS and hospital networks in real-time to provide this vital patient health information—marking a significant advancement in the standard of emergency care.”
MyVitalData, designed to allow people to safely and securely create, maintain and share vital health information with emergency medical personnel, delivers information via its secure gateway, accessed at www.MyVitalData.com. A patient’s critical health information is stored on a password-protected network accessible only by authorized and authenticated emergency medical personnel who can retrieve a patient’s data during unforeseen life-threatening situations including personal health crisis and natural or manmade disasters.
“By integrating MyVitalData into our existing EMResource and EMTrack solutions, we can enhance our customers’ ability to communicate and exchange patient’s vital health data,” said Andy Nunemaker, CEO of EMSystem. “Ultimately, this helps hospitals and emergency providers to be prepared with the right information to assess and rapidly treat patients.”
