Acquisition expands capabilities in emergency and pre-hospital care, revolutionizing communication between EMS teams and hospitals for faster clinical workflows and more informed patient care
TigerConnect, the leading clinical collaboration platform in healthcare, today announced the acquisition of Twiage, a health technology innovator that streamlines pre-hospital communication and care coordination between EMS, hospitals, and other healthcare providers. The acquisition strengthens TigerConnect’s portfolio by introducing pre-hospital communication and transfer center workflows, that go beyond what can be achieved via EHR-based chat systems. By connecting EMS operations to hospital care teams before a patient arrives, the solution accelerates time to care through sharing of real-time patient information.
“This acquisition marks another step in our evolution to unify communications for health systems by connecting care teams both inside and outside the hospital,” said Brad Brooks, CEO of TigerConnect. “Twiage combined with TigerConnect further strengthens our ability to empower care teams to streamline emergency and critical care coordination, reduce patient handoff times, and ensure faster, more informed decision-making from the moment a patient is in transit to the hospital bridging the care continuum.”
Twiage, founded in 2015 and headquartered in New York City, is an award-winning healthcare technology company providing communication workflows between EMS and hospital emergency departments, which allows real-time patient information to flow directly to hospital care teams while a patient is en route. Trusted by over 100 hospitals and health systems, including Atlantic Health System, Hartford Health, Mayo Clinic, and Yale New Haven Health, Twiage accelerates emergency and non-emergency communication to improve life-saving care.
“Twiage was built on the belief that better communication leads to better care,” said John Hui, CEO and co-founder of Twiage. “Joining TigerConnect will allow us to expand our vision and bring our innovative solutions to a larger scope of healthcare systems. Together, we can make a more meaningful impact on how care is delivered, starting from a patient’s first point of medical contact.”
This move is a key part of the broader TigerConnect strategy to empower health systems by enhancing clinician productivity, strengthening care team connections, making data actionable, and extending care beyond the four walls of the hospital. TigerConnect’s platform now connects even more of the healthcare journey, ensuring faster and more effective collaboration between care teams and EMS providers.
