How Vitro Works

Don't replace the medical record. Digitise it.

Decades of clinical expertise are encoded in your hospital's charts, forms and care pathways. Conventional EMRs throw that intellectual property away and start again. Vitro keeps it — and makes it intelligent.

From paper to intelligence

Three layers, one familiar record

01 · Start with your document

Every Vitro form begins life as one of your own — an observation chart, an admission form, a care pathway. The layout, the colour-coding, the clinical logic your teams designed over years: all preserved exactly as clinicians know it.

02 · Add the Vitro App layer

Vitro overlays digital intelligence onto that familiar document: field validation, automatic calculations, early-warning score totals, charting, alerts and workflow — plus live connections to your existing databases and departmental systems.

  • Numbers always add up; mandatory fields can't be skipped
  • Deterioration triggers escalation the moment it's charted
  • Data captured once, structured and reusable everywhere

03 · Read it in the Patient Chartbook

Every completed form joins the Patient Chartbook — the patient's complete history, readable page by page like the paper chart, but sortable, searchable and available simultaneously to every clinician who needs it, on any device.

The full journey

A layered path from paper to an intelligent digital record

You don't have to do everything at once. Each layer stands on the one below it — start where the value is highest and climb at your own pace.

Four stacked layers: paper and existing systems, searchable scanning viewer, electronic forms, intelligent apps — combining into the intelligent digital medical record Paper & existing systems Your current charts, forms and departmental systems Searchable Scanned Medical Record Historical records in the Vitro viewer — AI-classified and searchable Electronic forms & pre-built apps Vitro Apps alongside scanned content, integrated with lab & radiology Intelligent apps & full workflows Validation, calculations, escalation and analytics across the record = THE INTELLIGENT DIGITAL MEDICAL RECORD

Mix & match

Modules that grow with your digital journey

Start with a standalone Scanned Medical Record, integrate it with radiology, lab and patient administration systems, then transition at your own pace to the full Vitro Digital Medical Record.

Pre-built apps

Ready-made clinical forms and charts, proven in live deployments.

Bespoke apps

Your own documents digitised — co-designed with your clinicians.

Scanning apps

In-house scanning or integration with your scanning service provider.

Medications management

Charting and administration built into the same familiar record.

Patient portal

Extend the record to patients themselves, securely.

Voice enablement

Hands-free capture at the point of care.

Remote patient management

Telehealth-ready records for care beyond the ward.

Open data & reporting

Your data, structured and queryable. No lock-in, ever.

Show value, grow value

Phased rollouts that prove themselves

Instead of a risky "big bang" go-live, Vitro deployments start where the clinical value is clearest, demonstrate results, and expand ward by ward. It's how Calvary Health Care reached 15 hospitals in six months — and why our projects keep their momentum.

  • Co-designed with your clinicians, not imposed on them
  • Flexible hosting — your infrastructure or the cloud
  • Affordable entry point; scale as value is proven
  • Scales from small facilities to entire hospital groups
