TooCool for Pediatric Cardiology

"I have tripled my patient volume over the past 13 years without hiring additional staff. This has been possible by the increased efficiency from using software designed by Vital Solutions. I have not dictated a letter in 9 years but have generated over 23,000 referral letters with just a few mouse clicks. Most letters take less than a minute to produce. No dictating, no secretary typing, no corrections. With the newest version of TooCool, the letter is now faxed to the referring physician's office as soon as it is completed, long before the patient gets home. TooCool also allows me to scan all incoming reports (cath reports, Holter reports, Treadmill reports, etc.) into the patient's electronic file by category thus allowing me to retrieve all data about a patient within seconds. All this is stored on my hard drive. No hunting for charts. No lost charts. No falling over boxes of inactive charts piled up in the halls. If the software or hardware has a glitch, I pick up the phone and help is on the way. Vital Solutions continues to update the software so I can work more efficiently. It has been tailored to my practice and continues to evolve. I just call and say, "I want to be able to do this" or "can you make TooCool do this?" After 13 years in practice, I'm not working harder. I'm working smarter with computer software provided by Vital Solutions."

TooCool for ENT

"Vital Solutions (the brain trust behind TooCool) is without peer when it comes to flexibility, function, and features. Over six months of experience with TooCool and I am convinced this was the best decision and solution for me and my partners. After many years of closely observing the evolution of EMR software, I wanted a program that was quick to learn and easy to use in a high volume situation, but also ultimately customizable and expandable. My preference was to have a system that would allow individual physicians to have a near seamless introduction to EMR. A physician should be able to add patient records however he likes – learn the most sophisticated, most powerful features of the system all at once or at a slower pace without getting behind. My other requirement was to avoid a system that could hold my patient records hostage. A great number of programs store data in a way that is proprietary and non-transparent. TooCool stores your data in a transparent infinitely retrievable manner. Scanning old patient records into TooCool could not be any easier, and Vital Solutions even provides a customizable way for you to retrieve and view your patient records. "
 
"“Buyer beware” should be written on some software especially with so called “do everything programs.” I was shocked to find programs that appeared on the surface to have all of these great features only to find they required me to make all these changes in the way I do things. Some of these programs don’t really know what an office does in the real world. Enter Vital Solutions where “The short answer is always yes.” TooCool filled the wish list very nicely. No matter what we would suggest as an improvement or completely new idea the answer is always yes. And we don’t have to wait for the new version coming out at some unknown time or in the “next release of vaporware.” You get your program for your situation with your requests. This time around it really is all about us and the patient; not the software company. "
