Learn what interprofessional collaboration is, why it’s important in healthcare, and how you can provide your care team with the right clinical communication and collaboration (CC&C) tools.

EHR vendors advise against using EHR chat for urgent communications, and explicitly state that EHR chat should not be used for emergency communications. Care teams are only as fast as their communication tools allow them to be. To speed care delivery in an emergency, you need tools that go beyond clunky chat interfaces. A clinical communication and collabroation (CC&C) paltform helps hospitals achieve greater efficiency around critical response workflows (like code blue, sepsis, STEMIs, strokes, and critical labs) to ultimately deliver better care, faster.

Accurate and real-time communication across healthcare providers is critical to patient safety and care. Clinical communication and collaboration platforms offer providers the tools necessary to quickly identify and address risks, improve continuity of care, and increase the overall quality of service to patients.

EHR systems were not intended for communication, which means they lack the flexibility and inclusivity to make great collaboration possible. Integrating EHRs with simple and secure CC&C tools can expedite workflow, improve patient outcomes, and protect patient security.

The emergence of advanced healthcare technology has transformed the way care teams and patients communicate, improving collaboration and patient care.

Hospitals are experiencing a catastrophic worker shortage that requires innovative technology to increase workflow effectiveness and improve patient engagement. Learn how the TigerConnect product suite helps manage hospital resources more effectively.

Poor patient throughput – the flow of patients through the healthcare ecosystem – is becoming a real juggernaut for organizations to overcome. However, the cure for patient throughput is increasingly being found in better clinical collaboration and communication.

As the hub for clinical communication and collaboration, TigerConnect improves clinical workflows, accelerates response times, and streamlines clinical collaboration across multiple teams.

In healthcare, poor communication can lead to slowdowns in everyday tasks. Any delay can be a roadblock to efficiency and cause unwanted consequences–from higher costs, diminished patient satisfaction, and medical errors.

TigerConnect Alarm Management and Event Notification benefits clinical teams by effectively routing alerts and alarms to the right staff member for response. By doing so, response times are faster, there are fewer unnecessary interruptions, and escalations to additional care team members can occur automatically if a response is not received. This helps IT teams by centralizing system administration, standardization of clinical system interoperability, scalability, and flexibility.
