Frequently asked questions
Does the Lyft integration work with our Epic version?
The Lyft Smart on FHIR App works with any Epic instance that supports Smart on FHIR applications through Epic's App Market. Most modern Epic implementations include this capability. During our initial discussion, we'll verify compatibility with your specific Epic version and configuration.
How long does implementation take?
Typical implementation takes 15-30 days and involves three phases: (1) technical integration with your Epic instance, (2) data mapping and workflow configuration, and (3) staff training and go-live. We work closely with your IT team and Epic representatives to ensure smooth deployment. For hospitals with existing VectorCare relationships, Epic integration can be added to your current setup even faster.
What does the onboarding process look like?
We manage onboarding in partnership with you and your Epic team. This includes connecting VectorCare to your Epic instance, mapping patient data fields, setting up authentication (SSO or Epic's protocols), configuring your initial workflows, and training your staff. Our team handles the technical complexity while you maintain control over policies and workflows.
Is patient data secure?
Yes. VectorCare is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 Type II audited. All data transmission between Epic and VectorCare uses encrypted channels. Patient data is stored securely in US data centers (or Singapore for APAC clients) with multiple layers of protection including encryption at rest, least-privilege access controls, and comprehensive audit logging.
Can we customize workflows for different departments or patient types?
Absolutely. VectorCare's workflow builder allows unlimited customization by department, service line, patient condition, insurance type, or any other criteria. You can create different protocols for ED discharges vs. planned discharges, pediatric vs. adult patients, or any other segmentation that matches your operations. Changes deploy instantly without IT intervention.
What if Lyft isn't available in certain areas we serve?
While Lyft provides extensive coverage across the United States, VectorCare's platform can integrate with additional transportation providers in areas where Lyft service may be limited. We'll work with you to ensure complete geographic coverage for your patient population.
What ongoing support do you provide?
VectorCare includes 24/7 support, a comprehensive knowledge base, dedicated implementation specialists, and ongoing optimization assistance. We monitor system performance, provide regular training updates, and work with you to continuously improve workflows. Our Customer Success team proactively identifies opportunities to increase efficiency and ROI.
Do I need my own Lyft account?
Yes, an existing or new account will be associated with your Lyft Smart on FHIR app downloaded.
