Reimagining Clinical Communication: How TigerConnect Supports the Real-Time Health System
Reimagining Clinical Communication: How TigerConnect Supports the Real-Time Health System
As the healthcare industry looks for ways to reduce the cognitive burden on care teams and control costs, the value of clinical communication and collaboration has emerged as a vital tool. In fact, research from a recent TigerConnect survey shows a staggering 64% of clinicians report cognitive overload from too many alerts and notifications, highlighting the urgent need for efficient solutions. While clinical communication and collaboration (CC&C) solutions aren’t new, we believe this year marks an important milestone in their adoption as Gartner, a company that delivers actionable, objective insight to its executive and their teams, released the Magic Quadrant for Clinical Communication and Collaboration for the first time.

The Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ report establishes how well technology providers are executing their stated visions and how well they are performing against Gartner’s market view. It offers buying committees (or businesses) a first step to understand which technology solutions they might consider for specific investment opportunities, and it provides a graphical competitive positioning of four types of technology providers, in markets where growth is high and provider differentiation is distinct – Leaders, Visionaries, Niche Players, and Challengers. Leaders execute well against their current vision and are well positioned for tomorrow. We are honored to have been recognized as a Leader based on our Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute.
