“Vitro has allowed us to reduce patient admission time by up to 16%. For patient re-admission, the time saving has been even greater, at up to 22% and only a couple of months later this has now been reduced to 50%. This time saving has a major benefit to our children, their parents and guardians and their care givers. Stress, administrative burden and clinical risk have all been impacted and reduced”. Kerry McLaverty, Clinical Services Manager, LauraLynn, Ireland Children’s Hospice

"We met Sláinte's CEO and their people, they have literally taken our medical record issue and computerised it… just imagine what that can do to revolutionise the way that we take care of the children in future. It’s going to augment the way children are helped and they did it with this wonderful smile, energy and enthusiasm that you can't even quantitate." - Dr Bill Magee, D.D.S, M.D., Co Founder & CEO,
'A paper medical record is good because it allows you to look after that one patient but imagine having an EMR then you are able to understand what’s happening with hundreds or thousands of patients. Vitro has unleashed this amazing opportunity to understand our patients." - Ruben Ayala, M.D. Senior Vice President Medical Affairs of Operation Smile.
Vitro delivers an EMR for Calvary Health Care Bethlehem, Australia, enabling the hospital to go completely paperless. "Given the time if you talk about 6 months from ‘woe to go’ in terms of getting to the point of implementation it was amazing and I’m not aware of any other site or service that has introduced that form of electronic record that have been able to achieve that. I’m very proud of the work that we’ve done but also very proud of the work that we’ve done collaboratively with Sláinte Healthcare." Shannon Thompson, Director of Clinical Services.
"From an adoption point of view, quite a few nursing staff have been surprised at how easy it has been to use. Since the implementation of vitro patients have commented on the presence of staff closer to the patient’s bedside they are not they’re not having to be at the central nurse’s station because they have got access to various workstations around the ward." Belinda McRae – Nurse Unit Manager
