This session explores the real-world implementation of a bespoke Electronic Health Record (EHR) system - 'Virtu Cares’ - designed by Virtu Medical specifically for correctional environments. Already operational in Haiti and the Dominican Republic, this solution showcases the power of tailored digital innovation to improve staff workflows, clinical governance, and detainee care, even in resource-constrained settings.
Attendees will hear firsthand insights into how this “invest-to-save” model is overcoming legacy systems, promoting equitable access to care, and reshaping correctional healthcare delivery from the inside out. This presentation is grounded in lived implementation experiences, supported by measurable outcomes and real stories from the frontline.
Moderated by Steven van de Steene, Board Member, ICPA, France
