Patient-reported improvements in care coordination correlate with better performance on clinical care measures. Implementing care coordination programs can lead to more positive patient experiences and reduced emergency department utilization.

VectorCare is designed for transfer centers to not only find and schedule transport but also locate available beds, schedule home visits, coordinate at-home services like home care and oxygen delivery, and manage patient transfers efficiently, all within one platform to speed up discharges and free up resources. Research on transfer center optimizations shows reduced transfer times and improved bed utilization, leading to better hospital throughput and cost savings.

VectorCare's real-time messaging reduces reliance on calls and faxing by enabling instant updates and coordination among care teams, decreasing time wasted on phone calls and improving synchronization before, during, and after events. This feature has been praised in testimonials for minimizing call-backs and enhancing efficiency. Studies on team-based messaging applications show they can improve surgical team communication and overall care processes.

Yes, VectorCare is designed for both outpatient and inpatient services, optimizing logistics from hospital discharges and transfers to home-based care, including NEMT, home health, DME management, and coordination across various care settings to reduce delays and improve outcomes. Studies highlight that integrated logistics platforms enhance care continuity between inpatient and outpatient settings, reducing readmissions and improving patient satisfaction.

A.D.I. is the backbone of VectorCare's automation capabilities, automating dispatch processes to reduce manual tasks, minimize administrative workload, and accelerate care delivery by handling scheduling, negotiations, and resource management in the background. This technology enables booking and managing rides in less than 3 minutes, compared to 31 minutes with traditional methods, cutting scheduling time by over 90% and allowing teams to focus on patient care. Studies on automated systems in healthcare, such as machine learning for classifying emergency calls, demonstrate how automation can optimize response times and efficiency in critical scenarios.

VectorCare offers a Business Intelligence tool called Insights, which provides real-time reporting, machine learning-powered analytics, and custom dashboards that can be shared across all stakeholders, enabling actionable insights, resource planning, and performance tracking from any data source. BI tools in healthcare, enhanced by machine learning, support data visualization for better decision-making, with studies showing improved operational efficiency and reduced reporting cycles.

VectorCare provides a decision tree logic engine through its no-code Hub platform, which drives the right care at the right time by creating automated, patient-centered protocols and workflows that guide decision-making for optimal resource use and care delivery. Decision trees in healthcare are effective for clinical decision analysis, providing high classification accuracy and objective support in complex scenarios, as demonstrated in studies on treatment options, guideline implementation, and diagnostic tools.

Technology like VectorCare's Hub reimagines dispatching with live maps and AI, improving coordination and reducing costs. Research indicates that better relational coordination through tools can boost staff well-being and patient satisfaction in outpatient settings. Care coordination interventions using technology have been linked to increased patient activation and better documentation of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.

VectorCare reduces length of stay by optimizing workflows that ensure the right care at the right time, freeing up beds through efficient patient logistics and a 90% improvement in scheduling, leading to significant bed throughput savings like $247,000 for smaller hospitals. Research shows that interventions like clinical decision support and optimized staffing schemes can shorten hospital stays for conditions such as febrile neutropenia and during pandemics. Multidisciplinary optimizations in vascular procedures have also successfully reduced length of stay.

Efficient patient transportation reduces delays in care and improves safety, as highlighted in studies on non-emergency transport services. Transportation interventions, including NEMT, positively impact health outcomes by addressing barriers that lead to missed appointments and delayed medication use. Optimized logistics in hospitals, such as better process mining for transport services, enhance overall service quality and efficiency.

VectorCare offers numerous benefits, including 90% efficiency gains in scheduling, annual cost savings exceeding $500,000 for large hospitals through reduced labor and bed costs, enhanced care coordination via real-time tools, streamlined vendor management and payments, and data-driven insights for better planning. Care coordination platforms like this have been linked to improved patient experiences, reduced readmissions, better communication, and enhanced remote support for conditions like cancer. Overall, it accelerates care delivery, boosts satisfaction, and optimizes resources across healthcare settings.

VectorCare addresses key challenges such as delays in patient transportation, high administrative costs from inefficient scheduling, reliance on outdated communication like faxes and calls, transportation barriers leading to missed appointments, and safety incidents during interhospital transfers. It also mitigates issues like inadequate vehicles in emergency settings and financial burdens from out-of-network billing. By automating processes and providing real-time tools, it reduces these barriers, improving access and outcomes.

NEMT plays a vital role in ensuring patients can access routine medical care, such as appointments and tests, which they might otherwise miss due to transportation barriers.
