For many consumers and plan members the emergency department has become their primary care setting. Whether it is because they lack a medical home or the ED is perceived to be more convenient, emergency departments across the country are utilized at a high rate for non-urgent care.

Vital Data Technology’s MyVitalData Dr.Link™ is a specific application designed to:

• Enhance real-time care coordination between the emergency department and primary care settings to enable optimal outcomes and minimize repeat non-urgent ED visits
• Allow health plans to seamlessly share Continuity of Care Documents (CCD) between a member’s care team – so that current and follow-up treatment plans are as effective and efficient as possible
• Create greater opportunities for primary care doctors to engage patients with chronic health conditions in appropriate preventive care/wellness/disease management programs; enhancing efforts to improve HEDIS scores and other quality of care indicators
• And in the case a member/patient doesn’t have a medical home, connect health plan members with a primary care doctor

Through MyVitalData Dr.Link, health plans can provide their primary care networks with:

• Secure web-based, real-time connectivity to patient health summaries; emergency department visit histories/chief complaints
• Automatic Alerts (patent pending) of patient ED visits
• Enhanced CCD capability to provide the best possible medical outcomes at the most reasonable costs

MyVitalData Dr.Link A powerful tool to improve care coordination, minimize non-urgent ED visits, and engage members in the effective management of their own care. Providing the right information to the right people at the right time.
