Vigo's Prescription for CMS Hospital Compare Process of Care Measures

Vigo brings your clinical applications to the point of care to improve adherence to clinical protocols such as dispensing antibiotics one hour prior to surgery. 
Vigo's Boost to CMS Hospital Patient Satisfaction
Scores (HCAHPS)
The Vigo Interactive Patient Communication System is an important tool for improving and maintaining HCAHPS patient experience scores. It enables delivery of prescribed patient education and real-time communication between patient and the care team.
Vigo's Helping Hand for Patient Safety
Preventing injuries to patients has always been a priority for hospitals and never more so than today in light of Medicare's Never Events payment policy. Allen Technologies' Vigo can deliver right to the patient's room safety videos on topics such as fall prevention. The OneTouch's barcode scanner provides an extra measure of assurance that clinicians are giving the proper medication to the patient.
Vigo's Answer for Patient Education and Communication
It's a new era of healthcare consumerism. Hospitals have learned that many patients today are more educated about their illness and want to participate actively in care decisions. For those patients and their families, doctors can recommend information sources and videos accessible in their room via the Vigo system.
Vigo's Ticket for Patient Entertainment
Vigo delivers a rich entertainment experience for the patient: TV, cable programs, games, on-demand movies, broadband internet, video conferencing and IP phone. Vigo helps the patient feel more at home.
Vigo for the Nursing Staff
Much of the clinicians' time is spent on administrative or routine matters rather than higher level patient interactions. With Vigo providing patient education, entertainment and more, nurses are more available to meaningful interactions with patients. Furthermore, with Vigo OneTouch the clinician can access and update the electronic medical record at bedside, saving hours per shift.
Vigo for the VP of Patient Services
Vigo helps hospitals deliver the highest quality patient services while staying on a budget and without overworking the nursing staff. The system accomplishes this by automating many of the routine activities the nursing staff would traditionally spend time on - basic patient education, meal selection and more. By taking these responsibilities off their plate, Vigo frees these professionals for more important patient care interactions. So patients receive better care while nurses get the satisfaction of delivering higher-level services.
Vigo for Patients
Vigo was designed to improve the patient's hospital experience by providing education, information, entertainment and connection. With Vigo, patients can view video on demand - both educational and entertainment programming. Vigo's patient scheduling information helps demystify the day-to-day hospital routines. And Vigo's Internet access allows patients to stay in touch with work, family and friends, thus avoiding that feeling of disconnectedness that can be so unsettling to patients.
