Suffice it say, 2017 was a solid year. Never one to rest on our laurels, we’re already looking ahead to 2018 when we’ll be launching several new TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Pro capabilities that we think you’ll love. Here’s what to watch for when the calendar turns:

EHR Connect
We call it the ‘last mile’ problem – moving data from the EHR onto the smartphones of a roving clinical staff. It requires integrating your EHR with a clinical communication app, which can be a gnarly, expensive process involving plenty of custom code and more than a few Advil. To solve, we’re introducing EHR Connect, a fast, affordable way to funnel HL7 data – ADT alerts and more – from Cerner, Epic, MEDITECH, and others to the smartphone, unlocking massive value from your EHR investment at a tiny fraction of the cost.

Clinical Alerts
The way most clinical alerts get delivered today would barely impress Marcus Welby – pagers, voicemail, intercoms – tools of a really bygone era. With our new Clinical Alerting capability, we channel notifications for three key alert types: Nurse call, patient monitoring, and lab results so clinical staff can digest this info quickly and take action on their smartphone using nifty smart cards that let users accept, deny, or escalate a particular task.

VoIP – Voice & Video Calls
For the carpal tunnel-prone, we’re rolling out Voice over IP, affectionately known as VoIP. VoIP will let you place voice or video calls right from the TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard app. Look up a colleague, call them from their profile – it’s that easy. Need to show a wound in real time or speak with a patient on a different floor? VoIP can do it. No sharing your mobile number or racking up charges on your phone bill, just instant access that gives your thumbs a break. Includes a pre-flight inspection of your WiFi strength to spot dead zones or weak areas so you know where you need to upgrade.

That’s a sum-up of what’s coming. For deeper info about these features, check out our press release or contact us directly for a quick chat or demo.
