“We are excited to bring together some of the industry’s leading
innovators who are pushing the boundaries to advance and improve
healthcare communications,” said Vincent D. Kelly, chief executive
officer and president of Spok Holdings, Inc. “We are particularly
pleased to showcase what we believe is a game-changer in healthcare
communication technology; the next generation of the Spok Care Connect
platform. Our collaboration with hospital leaders at these
conferences—and throughout the year—has helped us create an enterprise
platform that positions healthcare providers for success today and
supports them with faster, smarter clinical communications for the next
decade.”
Dr. Chris Snyder, chief quality officer and physician advisor for
Peninsula Regional Medical Center (PRMC), spoke alongside Darrell
Messersmith, vice president of information technology and chief
information officer for Vail Health, during the opening session. The
pair shared how they collaborated with Spok product developers to help
shape the next evolution of the Spok
Care Connect® platform. Clinical teams at PRMC and Vail
were early users of the company’s new cloud-based solutions, which
support faster, easier, more actionable care team communications.
In addition to a full agenda of presentations, Connect 18 features
sessions on how hospitals are moving contact center functions beyond the
switchboard to support clinical teams, why hospitals need a
communication platform in addition to the EHR, and how to use technology
to help manage alarm fatigue. The conference also offers insight from
Spok customers who present case
studies on topics such as reducing code response times and
streamlining sepsis response to reduce mortality rates.
“Our Spok customer family grows every year. We now support more than
1,900 hospitals across the nation who care for more than 150 million
patients a year,” adds Hemant Goel, president of Spok, Inc. “Connect is
