VITAS and Centric Create Award-Winning Mobile Solution so Clinicians can Focus on Patients at Bedside
VITAS Healthcare, a pioneer in the hospice movement since 1978, is the nation’s leading provider of end-of-life care, caring for an average daily census of more than 17,000 terminally ill patients in their homes, nursing homes, assisted living communities, etc.
For a hospice provider, every moment matters. A request for an admission or a change in the level of care requires an immediate response. Recent healthcare legislation increased the need for nurse liaisons to capture sensitive patient information faster and cheaper, with greater accuracy. VITAS needed to improve patient intake response times and digitize paper-based workflows, regardless of the clinician’s location or network connectivity.
