Automate Routine Tasks

Transform Your Workflow

The Problem

Typing residents’ vital signs into each resident’s chart by hand is slow and error-prone, diverting clinicians from resident care and reducing record accuracy.

  • Manual entry takes too much time
  • Documentation mistakes happen too easily
  • Care team follow-up gets delayed

The Solution

By automatically sending vitals directly to the resident’s chart, Vitals Sent eliminates manual data entry and improves accuracy.

  • Captures vitals automatically
  • Gives more time for resident care
  • Works seamlessly with PointClickCare
 
Replace Manual Work

Manual vs. Automated

Manual Process

A study titled Eliminating Errors in Vital Signs Documentation found that manually entering 64 sets of vital signs into the electronic medical record took an average of 39 minutes. 

Manually entering vital signs has an 18.75% error rate

Automated Process

In contrast, the automated system reduced the average time to record and transfer 66 complete sets of vital signs to just over 5 minutes, with no manual steps or transcription errors.

Eliminate Errors & Inefficiency

Cost Savings & Error Prevention

Manual entry of vital signs wastes staff time and significantly costs your facility. When you factor in correcting data entry errors, expenses multiply quickly. The example below shows the annual cost breakdown of a 75-bed SNF, 2 daily vital rounds, 5 manual vital entries per round.

Facility Concerns and Our Response

1. “We cannot justify another monthly expense.”
 

You are already paying for manual work through staff time, rework, and oversight. Compare our monthly fee to the cost of continuing to do it by hand.

2. “Our staff can already enter vitals manually.”
 

They can, but that is the issue. Typing vitals in by hand takes staff time, slows things down, and causes more errors than direct upload.

3. “My team may resist change.”
 

Staff push back on changes that add to their workload. They usually accept tools that cut typing, lower frustration, and make daily tasks easier.

4. “We worry implementation will be disruptive.”
 

That concern is fair. A simple rollout by unit or shift keeps training easier and lets you measure results clearly without causing disruption.

5. “We are focused on bigger priorities.”
 

This helps bigger goals by improving staff efficiency, record quality, survey readiness, accountability, and more consistent daily operations.

6. “We need to think about it.”
 

That makes sense. But every month you wait, staff keep doing extra data entry and leadership keeps paying for wasted time.

Understand the Process

How it Works

Staff log in to Vitals Sent with their Organization ID, then sign in to PointClickCare with the username and password they already use. Once they are signed in, they go back to the Vitals Sent home page and choose a resident on a secure tablet or laptop.

They take the resident’s vital signs using approved Bluetooth devices. These devices send the readings to our secure Gateway Hub. The Gateway Hub then sends the numbers to the resident’s profile in the Vitals Sent app.

They check the readings on the screen. If something looks wrong, they can take the vitals again or fix the numbers. When everything looks right, the nurse clicks Submit. Vitals Sent then sends the final vital signs straight to the resident’s electronic health record.

Unlock RPM Revenue Potential

This video shows how the Vitals Sent platform creates a new ongoing revenue stream for your facility.

Check Your Revenue

Calculate Your Revenue Potential

Work That Pays

Your nursing staff already takes vital signs and monitors residents as part of routine care. When a physician oversees it, and the right paperwork is in place, that work can become billable RPM revenue.

This income helps cover costs, buy equipment, and improve what you offer residents. As more residents join, the recurring payments create steady revenue without adding staff.

Fair Market Value

Here is how it works. Your facility sets a fair market value (FMV) fee for documented RPM services provided to eligible residents each month. The physician bills Medicare Part B and pays you that fee each month for every enrolled resident.

Vitals Sent automatically sends vital signs to the resident’s chart, giving physicians the recorded health data they need to bill for Remote Patient Monitoring.

Comparison Chart

This comparison shows how Vitals Sent, ForaCare, and RosieRPM stack up on the features senior care teams value most. All three support core RPM workflows, but Vitals Sent offers more flexibility: it works with numerous affordable FDA-cleared Bluetooth devices, avoids proprietary sensor lock-in, doesn’t require a dedicated medical cart, and runs on an existing approved tablet or laptop.
