TigerConnect Sees 2021 Momentum for Clinical Communication and Collaboration, Transformational Value for Health Providers

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 2021 was a tipping point year for cloud-enabled Clinical Communication and Collaboration (CC&C) says TigerConnect, maker of healthcare's most powerful collaboration suite. The year closes with healthcare organizations across the nation seeing significant value in the transformation of patient care delivery workflows from clinical collaboration adoption.

TigerConnect also delivered a list of accomplishments in support of their mission to provide a healthcare communication solution that radically improves the way care is delivered. As the healthcare industry accelerates its transformation, CC&C, led by TigerConnect and its clients, is proving its immense modernizing value.

"I'm continually amazed at the innovative ways our customers are using TigerConnect to improve patient care and support care teams," said Brad Brooks, CEO of TigerConnect. "From slashing door-to-needle time for stroke patients, to reducing hospital length of stays, to improving patient no-show rates and more, TigerConnect customers are reaping the transformative benefits of clinical communication and collaboration."

Customer Momentum Highlights

• Baylor St. Luke's Medical Center slashed door-to-needle (DTN) time for stroke patients, reducing average time to needle from 62 minutes to 30 minutes. Using TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform with Roles for 25 Stroke Team members across ER, Neurology and Imaging reduced DTN time, greatly improving patient quality of life and lowering readmissions.
• A large academic hospital is using TigerConnect to improve communication with rural facilities for consults and transfers. Patient consults are more productive through VoIP and photo sharing capabilities, plus unnecessary transfers have been reduced.
• St. Luke's University Health Network reduced internal calls to operators by 82% and reduced active pager use by 68%, while increasing direct messaging by 800%. Messaging time went from hours/minutes to seconds, consult results are delivered immediately, and empowered staff are no longer left out of communication channels.
• Newark Beth Israel Medical Center reduced their length of stay (LOS) by more than one day, within three months of enabling secure Group messaging across an interdisciplinary team to easily and timely remove discharge barriers.
• Doylestown moved from paper to online scheduling with TigerConnect Physician Scheduling. Now providers have more autonomy to quickly change the on-call coverage without having to contact the switchboard if using opt in/out function. Additionally, operators no longer need to manually build and update a daily schedule.
