VCOM 2024 Annual Report

The Via Learning Management System VCOM’s Via Learning Management System (VLMS) is a customized and upgradable web based syndromic surveillance application used to track clinical patient encounters. The system allows for professional and self reporting as well as contact tracing, and can be used as a worldwide Electronic Medical Health system for remote medical clinics that report back to a centralized database. VLMS allows us to track what students are learning in clinical settings and enables us to see health patterns quickly, enabling public health authorities to be alerted in the event of outbreaks.
