Telmediq attended the 26th annual Physician-Computer Connection Symposium hosted by AMDIS on June 20 - 23, 2017 in Ojai, California. To date, technology and devices have improved care but at the sacrifice of usability; the future of healthcare will harness medical informatics in a more accessible way. At AMDIS, we demonstrated how Telmediq’s Healthcare Communication Hub (HCH) reduces the complexity of healthcare communications, providing value through integrations to improve clinical outcomes and streamline care. Addressing current challenges with healthcare informatics, our HCH creates a more user-friendly interface to access multiple data streams, simplifying care co-ordination and improving patient engagement.
The Future of Healthcare Communication: Driving Value Through Integration
Inefficiencies in hospital communications among care providers cost hospitals over $12 billion annually and continue to be a leading cause of sentinel events. Right now, the average hospital has 10-12 different communication systems in place, many of them 10 or even 20 years old. While 90% of healthcare organizations are using electronic records, many hospitals still rely on legacy communication systems such as pagers, telephone systems, and desktop paging systems. More modern solutions just add another layer of fragmentation to a communication system that needs to be rethought.
The hospital communication ecosystem involves not just technology but also processes, teams and roles. Our Healthcare Communication Hub (HCH) centralizes all healthcare communications through one solution that recognizes the workflows and processes of the teams and types of users on the care team. We’ve also integrated over 40 other clinical systems, from the EHR to lab systems and nurse call, to add value and context to healthcare communication.
What would health delivery look like if the care team had real-time access to see, update and communicate about the results from multiple clinical systems, all from a single patient-centred interface? This is the future we demonstrate to AMDIS attendees.
Telmediq at AMDIS 2017
Telmediq was at the AMDIS Symposium giving an interactive demo of how Telmediq’s Healthcare Communication Hub:
- Seamlessly communicate among clinicians or care teams across within or across hospitals and care centres
- Integrate siloed healthcare systems into a single patient-based platform (EHR, call systems, on-call schedules, LIS, alarm systems and more)
- Leverage smart integrations to route and escalate messages among clinicians
- Receive, respond to and route patient bed calls and alerts
- Integrate with alarm and vital monitoring systems for handheld patient monitoring, response and routing of support
- Push notifications of lab results and orders
- Integrated NFC technology to automate patient care tasks and hospital maintenance
- Simplified documentation to the EMR with smart field mapping to reduce administrative overhead
The future of healthcare communications can be achieved today. Let Telmediq help you leverage your existing healthcare systems to realize the cost savings and improvements to patient care achievable through integration.
