Telmediq was proud to attend the DV/NJHIMSS 2017 Fall Conference on October 4-6 2017 in Atlantic City. It was exciting to join the 10 year celebration of HIT Collaboration, Leadership & Learning for the Delaware Valley and New Jersey chapters of HIMSS. We were on hand at Booth #117 to demonstrate the power of integrated healthcare communication to improve care coordination and patient outcomes. 

Improving Care Coordination with Integrated Healthcare Communication

In an era of value-based care, hospitals can no longer ignore the $12 billion wasted annually on communication inefficiencies, both from a cost perspective and for the impact these inefficiencies have on patient outcomes. While 90% of hospitals are using electronic records and are looking forward to innovative new healthcare technologies, healthcare organizations continue to struggle with central issues around workflow, patient-centered care delivery, non-HIPAA compliant messaging and interoperability. 

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.

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. Visit us to find out more.

Telmediq's booth at DV/NJHIMSS 2017 hosted an interactive demo of 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

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.
