*Impact Clinician Dashboard: Manually Entered Reading Support

If enabled on the organization, program participants can enter readings manually via HealthBridge for all supported Impact measurement types (blood glucose, blood pressure, weight, body temperature, and oxygen saturation). These readings trigger relevant Event rules (the same as readings from a device) and show in the Impact Clinician Dashboard logbook and chart detail view with a new “manual data” icon.

• Customer organizations can now be configured to allow manual reading entry via the HealthBridge app source.

• Manually entered readings display in Impact Clinician Dashboard with a new “manual data” icon. A banner message also shows above the logbook and chart to inform clinicians that manually entered data is present in the dataset.

• Discrete Data (EHR Integration)

  • Manually entered readings are sent via existing Epic and Cerner discrete data integrations.

*Feature pending HealthBridge app release - contact Validic account representative for more information.

Validic Logistics - Device Ordering

• Programs can now be configured to allow device ordering OR care kit ordering.

• When Devices (devices only) is enabled in the program configuration, clinicians can order devices for program participants during enrollment.

• An address is captured for the participant (this can be populated via the EHR demographics), and a list of products will display for each associated measurement/device type for the organization.

• Once the enrollment is complete, the order is submitted and fulfilled through Validic Logistics (in-house device fulfillment) and shipped directly to the participant.

Please reach out to your Validic account representative to learn more.
