- Efficient sharing of patient health records
- Secure referrals and messaging
- Flexible standards based system interface
- Anytime, anywhere access
One patient – One record®
Built around the concept of “One Patient – One Record”® the VHR provides participating and authorized healthcare providers and stakeholders access to a unique patient’s clinical, demographic and insurance information and provides intuitive and efficient referral process between healthcare providers and entities.
What customers say...
"Down the line, anyone in a patient's circle of care - whether it's the Emergency Room or a diabetes clinic - will be able to access the same comprehensive data."
— Dr. Michelle Greiver , Family Physician
The Nightingale VHR contains a single medical record for each patient in a community. Information is integrated from all sources to provide a unique, accurate, and consolidated view of patient health information. Each physician remains the custodian of their patients’ data.
Seamless referral process and network
The Nightingale VHR simplifies and streamlines referrals to hospitals for procedures or admissions, and to specialists, therapists and other providers. Orders for transcriptions can be easily placed and fully managed.
Connecting a community of systems
The Nightingale VHR facilitates cross platform communication of patient health information. Primary care physicians, specialists and hospitals will all be functionally integrated in patient care. A proven HL7 interface ensures connectivity to existing HIS, EMR and practice management systems.

Reduce costs and errors
By making available current and historic patient health information, lab results and diagnostic images available to health care providers within the network, duplication of work can be dramatically reduced. The use of electronic communication through the Nightingale VHR rather than telephone or fax will mean less time spent on paperwork and markedly lower error rates.
Improved community health
Physician groups, IPAs, RHIOs and governments will be in a position to determine whether actions are having an impact on the health of the community. Use of the VHR will allow communities to track and verify clinical activities and outcomes.
