Critical Response Workflows

According to the American Heart Association, the benefits of tPA in patients with acute ischemic stroke are time-dependent, and guidelines recommend a door-to-needle time of 60 minutes or less. However, studies have found that less than 30 percent of U.S. patients are treated within this window. Care teams using TigerConnect have been able to reduce their door-to-needle time to under 30 minutes – leading to better patient outcomes and reduced costs associated with readmissions.

The TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform enables healthcare providers to communicate and collaborate efficiently, leading to faster clinical workflows, more effective treatment plans, and ultimately better patient outcomes. By integrating the TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform with a clinical decision support tool, Baylor St Luke’s Medical Center reduced its door-to-needle time by 50%. The health system has dramatically improved patient outcomes with an estimated 75 stroke lives saved per year.

The National Institutes of Health define clinical workflows as holistic processes involving a range of tasks carried out by multiple people and facilities to deliver care. Each task may require one or multiple people – taking place sequentially or simultaneously. This seamless and timely information flow is essential for care teams to collaborate effectively, make informed decisions and ensure patients receive quality care.

The TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform can help hospitals accelerate critical response time through real-time communication, group messaging, code team activation, and message escalations. These features enable care teams to quickly communicate and collaborate during critical situations, ensuring that patients receive the care they need as quickly and efficiently as possible.
