Voluntary Assisted Dying Information Management System (VAD IMS)

Kiandra worked closely with key policy and project stakeholders within SA Health to understand their unique issues and requirements of the SA VAD approach and getting the balance right between implementing our proven system with bespoke SA requirements.
 
Kiandra's Voluntary Assisted Dying Information Management System (VAD-IMS) application is a secure solution designed to help practitioners and pharmacists comply with VAD regulations. It streamlines processes, such as making first requests, completing assessments, submitting documentation, and verifying eligibility. Additionally, it facilitates written declarations, manages patient final requests, and assists with final reviews and practitioner certification statements. 
 
The solution enables practitioners, executives, and other authorised personnel to be guided through and complete activities needed to meet the law's requirements to facilitate patient access. This tailored system, developed to support the new law, is highly secure and will maintain confidentiality throughout multiple, complex workflows and processes.   
 
VAD-IMS also efficiently handles medication permit details, including patient preferences, pharmacist involvement, and supplier information. The system accommodates various roles, such as medical practitioners, care navigators, and pharmacists, by providing tailored permissions. Developed by a team experienced in the Voluntary Assisted Dying Act implementation, VAD-IMS includes video-based training that covers each core aspect of the solution.
