The APS program
Health Outreach Agents
A new era for community healthcare
At Vaistat, we have a strong conviction: the healthcare of tomorrow must be more humane, more secure, and more accessible. It is with this vision in mind that we created the Healthcare Proximity Agents (APS) program, a pillar of Vaistat’s integrated care model.
The APS is not just a delivery person. They are trained and certified professionals at the heart of the care pathway, acting with responsibility, confidentiality, and proximity. Thanks to rigorous training and a comprehensive digital ecosystem, APS represent a new generation of professionals capable of meeting the challenges of pharmaceutical logistics, community monitoring, and post-hospital continuity.
Why the APS model is essential
The healthcare system is currently facing major challenges:
- An aging population is increasing the need for home care.
- An increase in prescriptions and medication follow-ups.
- Pressure on hospitals, which must optimize their resources and reduce readmissions.
- Risk of logistical disruption and loss of traceability between prescription and actual treatment administration.
In this context, the APS is becoming an essential link:
- Ensures continuity of care upon hospital discharge.
- Supports patients at home while ensuring secure medication delivery.
- Builds trust between patients, pharmacists, and medical teams.
- Ensures compliance with legal standards (Act 25, Act 90, HIPAA, GDPR, TMD)
The PAP program
Vaistat Post-Hospital Support
Through the PAP (Post-Hospital Support Program), Vaistat integrates the PAP into the critical phase of hospital discharge. When a patient leaves the hospital, the PAP acts as a pivotal partner between the clinical team, the pharmacy, and the patient’s home.
- Transmission and validation of prescriptions between the hospital and the pharmacy.
- Coordination of medication transport and delivery to the patient.
- Personalized support upon discharge home (explanations, dosage reminders, and patient comfort).
- Automatic notification to the pharmacist and clinician via the Vaistat platform.
- Post-support follow-up: verification of treatment compliance and, if necessary, triggering a teleconsultation.
A unique and certified training course
Becoming an APS (Area of Professional Apprenticeship) means obtaining a recognized certification, structured around 13 comprehensive modules combining regulatory, technological, and human knowledge.
