“We are proud to be listed in Gartner’s 2018 Market Guide and believe
that this is further validation of the value proposition that we offer
to our customers,” said
Spok Care Connect interoperates with the solutions previously mentioned, along with a wide range of input and output devices, including smartphones, tablets, pagers, all leading EHR systems, remote monitoring equipment, nurse call devices, wireless telephony, and even nonclinical alerting equipment such as refrigerators, HVAC, and fire alarms. These integrations, plus advanced alarm surveillance capability that correlates, combines, and intelligently manages clinical alarms, and provides real-time mobile access to vital signs and waveforms, better empowers caregivers to make accurate clinical decisions and act on them quickly.
Healthcare provider CIOs and clinical leadership should use this guide to see where this market is heading and identify notable vendors, according to the report. Gartner recommends healthcare provider CIOs developing the IT strategy for next-generation care delivery should improve care coordination and transitions of care by equipping care teams with CC&C tools that interoperate with other core components of the care team collaboration ecosystem. Those components include the contact center, interactive patient care, alarms and notifications, and nurse call systems.
“More rigorous transitions of care measures are contributing to the need
for an ecosystem of situationally aware and interoperable middleware and
point-of-care IT solutions that foster care team collaboration within
and beyond the inpatient setting,” notes Gartner Analyst
