Frequently Asked

Common questions.

How are reports delivered to patients?
Reports can be delivered via patient portal, email, SMS link, or printed handouts. Patients access them on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. Practices can choose which delivery channels best fit their workflow and patient population.
What reading level are reports written at?
VanguardAdvocate writes at approximately an 8th-grade reading level — the standard for accessible health communication. Reports avoid medical jargon, define necessary terms in plain language, and use clear, conversational tone throughout.
Does it support multiple languages?
Yes. VanguardAdvocate supports translation into the most common patient languages — Spanish, Mandarin, Vietnamese, and others — while maintaining the same plain-language clarity in every language.
Can VanguardAdvocate be purchased on its own?
Yes. VanguardAdvocate is fully standalone. You can use it on its own or combine it with other Vanguard solutions. If you want the full bundle, VanguardMSO includes every Vanguard solution at a single price.
How do you handle patient data privacy?
VanguardAdvocate runs on the secure, multi-tenant Vanguard platform — strict tenant isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, comprehensive audit logging, and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Patient data is treated with the same HIPAA-grade protections as the rest of the platform.
