Problem
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel often face communication barriers with hospitals, leading to delays in patient handoffs and inefficient coordination of care. Traditional communication methods like radio calls and manual data transfer can be slow, unreliable, and lack crucial contextual information. These inefficiencies can strain hospital resources, delay critical care, and negatively impact patient outcomes, especially in time-sensitive cases like trauma and stroke.
Solution
TigerConnect Pre-Hospital is a secure, HIPAA-compliant communication and collaboration platform designed to streamline communication between EMS providers and hospital staff. The platform enables EMS personnel to send comprehensive patient information, including real-time EKGs, photos of trauma scenes, and stroke assessment videos, directly to the emergency department (ED) before arrival. With a user-friendly interface and configurable emergency protocols, TigerConnect facilitates faster handoff times, improves situational awareness, and enables ED teams to prepare for incoming patients more effectively. By providing real-time ETAs and tracking incoming ambulances via a comprehensive dashboard, the solution helps hospitals mobilize response teams and reduce ED bottlenecks, ultimately improving patient flow and care outcomes.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes EMS providers, hospital emergency departments, trauma centers, and healthcare organizations seeking to improve pre-hospital communication and coordination of care.
