Gartner, the global leader in tech research, has released its Hype Cycle for Real-Time Health System (RTHS) Technologies, 2020. The release analyzes the benefits of clinical communication systems and how they satisfy care team requirements.
OnPage is pleased to receive mention in the release, which recognizes the company for its CC&C system and pager replacement solution. In this post, we’ll take a look at Gartner’s CC&C analysis and discuss the significance of OnPage’s latest mention.
As defined by Gartner, “Clinical communication and collaboration (CC&C) systems … improve situational awareness and information sharing around the patient at the point of care and during transitions of care.” The systems allow teams to streamline their clinical workflows to achieve maximum patient satisfaction. With CC&C systems, patient-related events are responded to and resolved promptly without lag time. At its core, CC&C systems facilitate the continuum of care through advanced collaboration functionalities.

Care team members, such as specialists and physicians, use CC&C systems for bidirectional, HIPAA-compliant messaging. These real-time communications provide more contextual information than traditional pagers. Care team members can use CC&C systems to securely share sensitive electronic health records (EHRs) or medical files with one another.
CC&C systems provide features to improve clinical processes. System capabilities include, but aren’t limited to:
According to Gartner, hospitals must understand how a CC&C platform aligns with business priorities. Whether it’s improving care coordination or enhancing the patient experience, facilities must invest in a CC&C system that helps achieve internal care team objectives.
It’s also important to consider the risks involved in selecting a CC&C vendor. This includes determining how the vendor’s system will perform and how it can solve care team pain points. Further, facilities must recognize the vendor’s level of support and implementation processes. Essentially, having a complete picture of the vendor and its system results in successful purchasing decisions.
OnPage is one of the few CC&C vendors mentioned in Gartner’s latest RTHS Hype Cycle release. The mention solidifies OnPage’s position as one of the most trusted CC&C vendors in the healthcare industry. Indeed, facilities rely on OnPage to improve care team efficiency and effectiveness.
