• Chat with other caregivers or staff to coordinate care.

• Have multiple caregivers join/leave the video session 1-1 or multi-ways with patients throughout the same visit.

• Additional benefits: Access other VSee Clinic features/modules from PowerChart, e.g. get consent for treatment during video session, forms and feedback, check patient’s health device data from the Remote Patient Monitoring dashboard, send care instructions and reminders and education materials, etc.

Patients can:

• Received multiple customized notifications and reminders for their appointments.

• Join VSee video session by

• Additional benefits: VSee’s low-code/no-code platform allows developers to build complete customized/branded patient app very quickly. Examples include:

  • Build a complete digital front door for patient engagement

Integration workflows

Backend flow

This is done by the system application.

1. Use FHIR Appointments SEARCH API to get appointments periodically → find video appointments and create on VSee clinic side

   1. Get patient’s info from the response

   2. Get provider’s info from the response

      1. user_datas.cerner_id

   3. Create a visit on VSee side

      1. visit_datas.cerner_appointment_id

   4. (Optional with Cerner’s 3rd Party video integration) Use FHIR Appointments PATCH API to patch video link back into the Cerner Appointment

2. Patient receives email notification with video link from VSee

Frontend flow

This is done by the SMART app.

1. Provider clicks a button to open VSee SMART app

   1. there’s 2 buttons - in the bottom left (Table of Contents menu) and in the top bar (Organizer)

   2. Open

      

      Top left (Table of Contents menu) VSee button only shows up in Patient Chart screen and will take user to the nearest appointment page for this patient.

   3. Top bar (Organizer) VSee button will take user to the dashboard page.

2. SMART app sends a token with data to VSee endpoint with practitionerId and appointmentId and showDashboardPage

3. Match Appointment ID to VSee visit id (cerner_appointment_id field in VisitData in VSee database).

4. VSee calls Practitioner API using practitionerId to retrieve full provider’s data. Try to find a matching user record by mapping Practitioner’s NPI with VSee provider’s NPI

5. VSee calls Appointment API using appointmentId. Try to find a matching user record by mapping Patient’s MRN with VSee patient's MRN

6. Once the patient joined the meeting, call Appointment PATCH API to update appointment status on Cerner’s side. Status changes to checked-in on Cerner side.

When visit is completed, we Patch status to fulfilled (shows as checked-out in Cerner).
