Vital Data Technology Launches MyVitalData

MyVitalData Connects Life-Saving Patient Information To Emergency Care Network
HIMSS 2008 Annual Conference

Vital Data Technology, a provider of emergency medical information systems, today announced the launch of MyVitalData, the first Emergency Care Gateway (ECG) that tethers a patient’s health record to an emergency care network. Designed specifically to deliver accurate information in an emergency, MyVitalData allows people to safely and securely create, maintain and share vital health information with emergency care personnel. MyVitalData debuted today at the 2008 annual Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) conference in Orlando, Fla.

According to a recent report from the Institute of Technology entitled “Future of Emergency Care,” 114 million people, including 30 million children, visit emergency rooms annually. Through its Emergency Care Gateway, MyVitalData securely connects patient health information with pre-hospital patient care data systems used by Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel, emergency management organizations and hospitals, enabling care providers to make better treatment decisions and improve the overall quality of emergency care.

By providing all authorized emergency medical and first responder personnel the access to accurate patient health data at the point-of-care, MyVitalData can eliminate the risk of medical errors from adverse drug reactions, drug-to-drug interactions, allergies and existing health conditions—saving time and money across the healthcare continuum through decreased diagnostic and admissions time.

“In an emergency, accurate information could mean the difference between life and death. MyVitalData ensures the delivery of accurate and timely patient information, which no other online emergency health record can guarantee, because our technology will be part of a currently deployed hospital resource management technology used in over 1,200 hospitals nationally that cover nearly 35% of the U.S. population,” said Matt D’Ambrosia, CEO of Vital Data Technology.

“Consumers can find peace-of-mind and assurance that their vital information can be safely and securely accessed by the right people at the right time, at the right place in the emergency care continuum.”

The MyVitalData ECG, accessed at www.MyVitalData.com, ensures the strictest standards of patient confidentiality. Vital health data is safely and securely stored for the implicit purpose of assisting patients in the time of a health emergency and natural or manmade disaster. MyVitalData is a password-protected network that is restricted to registered users—only authorized EMS personnel, hospital emergency departments and emergency management organizations.

“Information exchange is one part of our business equation; trust is another,” adds D’Ambrosia. “MyVitalData utilizes state-of-the-art data security and redundancy systems that are in compliance with government privacy and data security requirements. MyVitalData is the only online system of patient directed personal healthcare information that requires authorized and authenticated access by emergency personnel to view a member’s health data.”
