Mission

VitalHealth Software’s mission is to contribute to the improvement of global healthcare through innovative IT-solutions. For that purpose we are delivering a solution that assists multi-disciplinary medical teams throughout a “care-chain” with result-driven treatment processes based on best practices and protocols.
 
At the core of our mission, the interests of the patient take the highest priority. In our IT solutions, the patient is proactively provided with value-added and relevant information. The initial focus is on supporting the treatment processes for patients with chronic diseases, such as Diabetes, Chronic Hart Failures, Asthma, AIDS, Alzheimer, etc. It is our ambition to expand this scope to cover all major medical treatment processes. 

Driven by our mission, VitalHealth Software operates with a clear set of principles: 

Social engagement
VitalHealth Software uses its IT solution to contribute to an effective treatment of chronic diseases, an objective which has been inspired by a sense of social responsibility, given form in an entrepreneurial manner. Medical professionals throughout the world are supported by practical protocols, which they can integrate directly into their daily routine. VitalHealth Software is making the platform for this available, and provides value add as a supplier of medical content and services.

For and by medical professionals
VitalHealth Software is not focusing on the support of organizational and administrative functions within healthcare, but directly at supporting medical specialists, with the emphasis on treatment processes. VitalHealth Software’s Advisory Board accordingly consists of leading physicians from the United States and the Netherlands. In addition, it cooperates closely with the associations of specialists and family practitioners, patients, insurers, umbrella organizations and national governments.

Optimization of the whole chain
Chronic diseases are characterized by the treatment of large numbers of people over long periods of time. This requires a proactive, multidisciplinary, structured approach, in which an entire chain of healthcare professionals is supported. VitalHealth Software’s solution makes relevant information available to all professionals involved in this chain, from physicians, nurses, dieticians and medical specialists to laboratory assistants and the patients themselves.

Global Applicability
It is a paradox that, while medical science is an international science par excellence, the software market for healthcare is nationally oriented. The establishment of VitalHealth Software marks a breakthrough in this respect. As a global healthcare software supplier we offer worldwide support – but with ample scope for local implementation, since regulations and remuneration systems operate at the national level.

Open Source
Healthcare is about providing quality care to everyone, without exceptions. Fortunately we live in a world where most medical knowledge is free. This also applies to knowledge about medical best practices, i.e. protocols and guidelines. Our platform is an enabler for medical best practices to be integrated into the day-to-day medical routine in the fastest and easiest way. We are therefore committed to making our platform available as an open source platform, as we believe this to be in line with the public cause we support. We will make our product available as open source as soon as it has reached a stage of sufficient maturity.  At the same time we will provide full professional support, allowing the platform to be used in mission critical environments.

Based on Standards
VitalHealth Software’s solutions have been developed in such a way that existing systems are used to their best advantage, by connecting to these systems to reuse the information stored in them. VitalHealth Software is based on such standards as HL7 v3 RIM, Snomed and others. In adopting these standards we regard XML as the de facto language for the exchange of structured information.
