HIPAA-Compliant platform for telehealth industry

2 minutes read

VITech developed a turnkey end-to-end telehealth solution that provides patients with responsive and proactive digital delivery care. Healthcare facilities that use software for remote medical care can avoid 91% of emergent events, even for patients at the bedside. Our robust HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform is already working to provide personalized and qualitative medical help to everybody. Using our data-driven solution can help prevent transfers and hospitalizations for over 90% of cases and reduce patient leakage and treatment in place. Healthcare facilities can now deliver medical help via audio or video consultations depending on state requirements and individual needs.

Business challenge

To meet the client’s needs, we created an application that responds to medical issues within minutes, making nurses happy and ensuring patients feel well-cared for. Our software combines superior technology with medical services and fully integrates with the EMR and other technology. With our solution, care facilities can significantly improve digital management of most medical issues and boost the delivery of healthcare services through advanced technology. Experienced nurses and physicians deliver superior care. The digital model of care is more responsive. Besides, it costs less than staff physicians onsite and helps protect the bottom line through better care management. Our solution can ensure treatment for more residents and deliver proper post-hospital admission protocols and follow-up.

All this makes development work challenging, bringing a lot of new requirements to each release. To keep up with clients’ expectations, we need excellent communication. Our team communicates with customers daily via online meetings. Scaled Agile methodology helps us with the predictability of our deliverables and timeframes.

Why VITech?

Another company previously developed the solution, but the customer decided to change the partner. At that moment, VITech was recommended to the customer because of the work quality, team responsiveness, and adherence to timelines. We managed to take over the project without any inconvenience this may have caused to users ensuring stable work of all application parts.

Project description

Currently, we are developing a homegrown electronic medical record system for post-acute, acute, and long-term facilities of all size providers to document telemedicine visits with patients. Our data-driven platform seamlessly integrates with and complements clinical and operational workflows. It’s a full-stack Java web app running in AWS, and VITech is currently providing it with ongoing maintenance and enhancements.

The team consists of a project manager, four developers, 2 QA engineers, DevOps Engineer, and a PO/Business Analyst. We extend the app’s functionality to help medical facilities improve the quality of medical care.

This project started in May 2021, and it’s still ongoing. We plan to integrate other services and create a Data Warehouse to gather data from different sources and improve usability. 

Conclusion

The full-stack Java web telehealth platform offers 24/7/365 medical care delivered digitally and enables direct integration into the existing workflow. We develop user-friendly and HIPAA-compliant software with intuitive design. Nurses and doctors don’t need special technical knowledge to use the application. The software helps the healthcare facilities to gather information and to make reports.

We offer the following key features:

  • Actionable, real-time data and dashboards
  • Robust routing algorithms
  • Third-party device integration
  • Custom integrations for post-acute and long-term care
