Advancements in Real-Time Health System Technologies, 2023

The OnPage team is pleased to inform you that we’ve been acknowledged in the Gartner^® Hype Cycle™ for Real-Time Health System Technologies, 2023 report, as a Sample Vendor in the Clinical Communication and Collaboration category.

As per the Gartner report, “This Hype Cycle includes technologies pivotal to the real-time health system vision. It is an essential reference for CIOs when assessing the value and impact of technologies that digitally transform the healthcare organization into a responsive, collaborative, smart, next-generation health system.”

Key Highlights from this year’s Hype Cycle according to OnPage:

After seeing the significant changes within the industry in the past year, OnPage believes that utilizing Real-Time Health Systems (RTHS) encourages complex advancement in healthcare delivery. In this section we will highlight some key points presented by Gartner Hype Cycle for Real-Time Health System Technologies, 2023.

Gartner reports that “there have been hype advances in next-generation nurse call, interoperability, IoT and process automation.”

Here at OnPage, we think that Internet of Things (IoT) and interoperability of systems are critical parts of healthcare delivery, enabling healthcare providers to seamlessly exchange data in real-time to streamline communications and ensure optimal patient care. We find that connected healthcare devices allow quick response to patient conditions, so it is crucial that healthcare teams consider interoperability when looking to invest in RTHS technologies.

We think it is important for us and our customers that OnPage has been mentioned as a Sample Vendor in this year’s report for its Clinical Communication and Collaboration (CC&C) System.

With real-time integrations and swift accessibility, we think that CC&C systems are a vital tool that support care teams with growing expectations for efficiency. Healthcare teams can quickly gain visibility into patient conditions and collaborate on treatment plans, allowing them to immediately assess time-sensitive patient issues and take necessary action without having to continuously monitor multiple disconnected devices.

Gartner also states that “autonomous monitoring has been replaced by ambient intelligence for healthcare.” According to the report “ambient intelligence uses artificial intelligence (AI) and behavioral analytics to analyze and report on real-time intelligence derived from computer visions and sensor technology regarding patient and staff activity.”

OnPage believes that this is a clear indicator that AI based algorithms are rapidly making their way into healthcare and may improve patient centered care by enabling physicians to gain full visibility into a patient’s health status, ensuring that they can deliver the best care possible.

Focusing on Clinical Communication and Collaboration

According to Gartner CC&C’s Benefit Rating is Transformational which they define as a technology that “enables new ways of doing business across industries that will result in major shifts in industry dynamics.”

OnPage believes that this is an excellent way to describe the current state of CC&C technologies. With the ability to deliver alarms from critical systems and enable real-time collaboration, care teams can significantly improve response times and enhance decision-making. Ultimately, CC&C tools empower care providers to quickly tend patient emergencies that may otherwise be missed with manual healthcare methods.

Conclusion

We think, being mentioned in Gartner^® Hype Cycle™ for Real-Time Health System Technologies, 2023 as a Sample Vendor in the Clinical Communication and Collaboration category is a significant milestone for OnPage. The company continues to be dedicated to advancing clinical communications to improve patient outcomes.
