TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard Expands Services into Hospice Care Adding 7 New Hospice Providers

TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard, the #1 leader in secure, real-time messaging, has expanded its HIPAA compliant mobile messaging platform to a new healthcare segment, hospice providers, and today announced the addition of 7 new hospice organizations to its growing list of healthcare customers. Amazing Grace Hospice, Mt. Hood Hospice, Hallmark Hospice, Hospice Austin, Heartsway Hospice, and Sacred Heart Hospice are among these recent organizations that have recently adopted TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – StandardPRO as their secure messaging solution.

Frequently in these organizations, patients are cared for by a team that consists of a number of different professionals including physicians, nurses, social workers, counselors, hospice aides, clergy, therapists, and volunteers who need to be able to easily communicate from various locations. Patient care is often administered 24 hours a day, so it is important to care providers are always readily connected. Key integrated features like group messaging are useful to allow these patient teams to stay updated and collaborate on treatment at all times from any location.

“TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – StandardPRO is a step in the right direction for improving patient care because quick and simple mobile communication throughout the organization is vital,” said Burt Cigler, IT Coordinator at Hallmark Hospice in Mesa, AZ. “And TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – StandardPRO is extremely simple to use so that a nurse, physician, and social worker can all easily collaborate in real-time on a patient’s treatment which facilitates better care.”

“Hospice and other healthcare segments are at a disadvantage when it comes to unified communications because SMS text-messaging PHI is not HIPAA compliant,” said TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard Co-Founder Jeffrey Evans. “However healthcare workers need to be able to send text-based messages because it flat out improves communication. That is why it is so prevalent. Text communication should be encouraged by healthcare providers as long as they have a platform like TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard in place that ensures the communication is HIPAA compliant.”

TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard solves communication problems for hospice providers because it provides a secure messaging network that is efficient and simple to deploy. The modern hospice is typically not situated at a single place, building or institution. Instead, it provides meaningful treatment to the terminally ill in various locales whether in their own home or another other places of care. Therefore, a secure, efficient unified mobile communication system is vital to the hospice’s daily workflow. Since TigerConnect Clinical Collaboration Platform – Standard is a SaaS cloud-based application, it can be accessed through a providers’ personal smartphone or any web-enabled computer.
