David Andrews, Vitro Software's VP of Business Development, will be attending HIMSS20 in March this year. Being at HIMSS provides a great opportunity for attendees to imagine how technology can drive healthcare systems of the future, to meet the upcoming demand driven by increased life expectancy. We are keen to share our vision and to compare and contrast it to others. As well as hearing about what is next in digital health & Healthcare IT trends, meet potential new partners, network with hospitals that are looking to start their Digital Transformation journey, and also catchup with some of our own clients and partners.

A new $345 million state-of-the-art private hospital from the Calvary Hospital Group has officially opened in Adelaide with clinicians using Vitro's Digital Medical Record. The Digital Medical Record at Calvary, which was co-designed with their clinicians to meet their exact requirements, manages their patients' clinical information while also integrating with their existing hospital systems. Since its implementation which initially focussed on end of bed nursing, Calvary has year on year expanded the use of its Vitro product including care areas such as paediatrics, maternity, oncology, rehab, drug & alcohol and mental health.

We are delighted to welcome Paul Kruss as their new Regional Sales Director in Australia and New Zealand. Paul has almost 15 years’ experience in the healthcare industry, having worked previously for Provation Medical, Wolters Kluwer and McKesson. Paul is looking forward to helping Hospitals and Healthcare Providers so they can quickly and easily embark on their Digital Transformation journey with a fully integrated Digital Medical Record that provides an impressive time-to-value.

St George's Hospital has gone live with the first phase of their Digital Medical Record implementation. Greg Brooks, St George’s Hospital CEO “One of the key drivers of this project is to improve our patient’s and clinician's experience, using Vitro, clinicians can now access patient information on the move, and even at this early stage of the project we have seen a positive impact on patient discharge times. Seeing our clinicians embrace Vitro so quickly and the exceptional feedback we have received from them has given us great confidence in the decisions we made around our digital strategy.”
