Telmediq headed to the GC3HIMSS Conference 2017 on Novermber 16-17, 2017 to demo the power of integrated, patient-centered communication to address the critical pressures facing healthcare organizations today. As the 5th annual regional conference of the Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi Gulf Coast Chapters of HIMSS, this year’s conference brought together healthcare leaders and innovators to learn the latest in HIT innovations. We had a great time speaking with everyone at the conference - and the view was pretty amazing too!
Improved Clinical Workflow With Integrated, Patient-Centric Communications
In an era of value-based care, hospitals are being challenged to drive down costs and improve the patient experience, yet are often encumbered with legacy technologies and siloed healthcare technologies. Hospitals continue to invest in new technologies while central issues around workflow, patient-centered care delivery, non-HIPAA compliant messaging and interoperability continue to be a problem. Hospitals today waste $12 billion annually on communication inefficiencies, a leading cause of sentinel events.
Right now, the average hospital has 10-12 different communication systems in place, many of then 10 or even 20 years old including pagers, telephone systems, and desktop paging systems. Whether it’s requesting a consult, communicating an order, or closing the loop on a critical lab result, communication that should take seconds can take several minutes to complete and is source of serious errors and delays.
Telmediq’s Healthcare Communications 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. With deep clinical integration (EHR, schedules, labs, nurse call) within a patient-centered communication platform, the HCH enables real-time communication among the care team to simplify complex workflows around orders, consults, safe patient hand-offs and closing the loop on critical lab results.

Telmediq at GC3HIMSS 2017
Telmediq was at GC3HIMSS 2017 to demo Telmediq’s Healthcare Communications Hub (HCH):
- 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
- Safe Patient Hand-Off with one click, ensuring all patient information is passed off and accepted by a new physician with auto-escalation to meet Joint Commission requirements.
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.
