Since 2010 TigerConnect has been transforming healthcare communications by enabling our customers to automate clinical workflows, speed decisions, and improve patient outcomes. Today our cloud-native Clinical Communication and Collaboration (CC&C) solutions are used by over 7,000 healthcare organizations and 700,000 care team members.
In this episode of The Connected Care Team, Dr. Payam Parvinchiha, Regional Medical Director of CareMore Health, discusses how CareMore enabled TigerConnect for their virtual care program, providing an innovative approach to clinical communication.
With over 400 registered attendees and 21 speakers, TigerSummit provided a wealth of valuable information for not only our clients, but also the entire TigerConnect team.
In 2017, we ran the post below in response to a ransomware attack that hit Britain’s National Health System. Now in 2020, history has predictably repeated itself with a wave of attacks on several hospitals here in the U.S. from Ryuk, a group believed to be operating out of Russia and timed with both a surge in Covid-19 cases and the 2020 presidential election.
TigerConnect’s capabilities have been carefully designed to deliver positive outcomes that help care teams administer care and communication quickly. In the case of RWJBarnabas Health, coordinated care delivery through EHR access and role-based messaging has led to higher quality care collaboration and progress toward recovery.
More hospitals are hiring Chief Patient Experience Officers, and as the role matures, we’re learning that patients want to see evidence of exceptional communication, both with their clinicians and between their clinicians.
Digital technology makes healthcare organizations more effective and efficient, reducing the potential for human error and speeding clinical communications. But it can also threaten patient privacy. Congress recognized this risk in the mid-90s — a decade before smartphones and nearly 15 years before required electronic health records (EHR) — and passed the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). This legislation sets national standards for patient privacy and, eventually, for healthcare data security as well.
Customer privacy and cybersecurity are critical issues for most industries, but none more than healthcare. Thanks to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), health data is highly protected. It’s also the most valuable data on the black market, where medical records are worth $250 apiece. The next highest price tag is just $5.40 for payment records.
Another page comes across the overhead speakers on your floor. You listen diligently to discover the request is for a Code Blue… not your team. Although none of the day’s pages have been directed at you, it’s critical that you’re alert and attuned when the time comes. As you resume your duties, concentration broken, you take a second to collect your thoughts and recall what you were thinking just moments ago. The most prevalent thought now being on the time you’ve once again lost to disruption.
This interoperability story is still emerging. FHIR is the newer, upcoming standard for data exchange. Vendors are just beginning to exploit it. The industry should see useful developments over the next five years.
Let’s look at seven benefits of nursing informatics and what a healthcare system would be like without nursing informatics. We’d manage, surely. But our healthcare system is much better off with nurse informaticists doing their thing, being a remarkable gift to society.
