VitalHub Corp. (the “Company” or “VitalHub”) (TSX:
VHI) is proud to announce that a decade long client, the
Dr. Peter Centre (the “Centre”), has
completed the implementation and go-live of VitalHub’s
Electronic Medication Administration Record (“eMAR”)
and Electronic Medication Order Creation
(“eMOC”) modules.
The Dr. Peter Centre is the only HIV/AIDS Day Health Program and
24-hour nursing care residence for inpatients in British Columbia
and is recognized as the first health care facility in North
America to integrate supervised consumption services into it’s
model of care. The Centre is a leader in HIV/AIDS care,
particularly for individuals with multiple medical conditions and
social barriers. The Dr. Peter Centre plays a vital role in
ensuring people have access to highly active anti-retroviral
therapy (HAART) HIV/AIDS treatment, which lengthens the lives of
patients in treatment and helps prevent further transmission of the
HIV virus.
The Centre has been utilizing VitalHub’s B Care EHR solution as
the facility’s Health Information Record (HIR) and Electronic
Medical Record (EMR) system since 2009. Prior to implementing B
Care all documentation was done on paper. The initial
implementation included the ability to record Admissions,
Discharges, Transfers (ADT), client demographics, specific HIV
related and diagnosis information, clinical notes, and client
contacts to support both the 24 inpatient beds and all of the
Centre’s community-based programs.
Over the course of the relationship additional modules and
functionality have been added to support their programming and
adapt to enhanced workflows. The Dr. Peter Centre uses B Care to
support the provision of services to the facility’s inpatient and
very large outpatient population in various programs.
VitalHub’s eMOC and eMAR modules are being utilized for both
inpatient (residential) and community (day health) programs. The
eMOC allows for the electronic order entry of medication orders.
Once the medications are received by the Centre, nursing records
the drug administration in the eMAR. The eMOC supports real-time
communication between the Centre and the external pharmacy. The
eMAR solution allows nursing to quickly and easily be aware of when
a medication is due to be administered, and when it has been
administered, or not, which is of equal importance. It also tracks
those medications which require secondary verification, such as
narcotics, and those that require documentation of their
efficacy.
“Implementing VitalHub’s eMAR solution has allowed us to
progress the Centre’s digital transformation forward exponentially.
Moving from a paper based medication administration record (MAR) to
an electronic MAR is more efficient and reduces the potential for
error, and as an organization that’s committed to safe and
compassionate care this is of the utmost importance to us,” said,
Rosalind Baltzer Turje, Director of Clinical Programs, Research and
Evaluation at The Dr. Peter Centre.
“Our customers successfully carry out a mandate of enriching the
lives and experience of the clients they serve. The Dr. Peter
Centre is an exceptional organization that we are proud to have had
a long-standing relationship with. The fact that our technology has
supported them for many years and continues to provide them with
benefit is very important to us. We have a number of clients across
the country that are focused on providing services to those living
with HIV and being a technology partner for them is very important
to us”, said Dan Matlow, President and Chief Executive Officer,
VitalHub.
