Provide physicians with critical patient information when the EHR is unavailable
Physicians need access to their patients’ charts, even when the EHR is down. VitalCenter™ delivers off-line electronic copies of patients' charts to PCs within the clinic, where they are viewed or printed when the EHR is not available. Whether the downtime is a result of a network outage, application or hardware failure, or any other cause, VitalCenter’s Patent Pending technologies allow your organization to continue functioning.
Continue to see patients during planned maintenance
Shutting down your clinics early for maintenance is an inconvenience for patients and is also a missed opportunity for physicians. An upgrade to your servers, network or EHR may require that the EHR be unavailable to providers. VitalCenter will continue to deliver crucial patient information to your care-providers with no interruption in service. VitalCenter™ is currently certified for versions 10 and 11 of the Allscripts Enterprise EHR.

The ability to make clinical data available without affecting the production database server during daytime hours
