Philips and TeleTracking join together as founding sponsors of
‘Command Center Summit: Connected Care Delivery’
July 10, 2019
Amsterdam, the Netherlands – Royal Philips
(NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today
announced its founding sponsorship of BRI Network’s inaugural
Command Center Summit: Connected Care Delivery (July 15-16, 2019,
Chicago, US), alongside the summit’s other founding sponsor
TeleTracking Technologies, Inc.
As care delivery becomes more complex, finding ways to
coordinate patient care across the health continuum, from healthy
living and prevention, to diagnosis, treatment and home care, is
one of the most important challenges facing hospitals and health
systems. They therefore need to look at new, more efficient ways to
increase access to care and improve care collaboration. Centralized
care is emerging as an innovative way of transforming healthcare
operations by generating real-time, actionable analytics and
pro-active recommendations to guide each patient’s progression
based on their clinical condition. By doing so, it helps to ensure
that patients are always transitioned to the most appropriate care
setting.
During the upcoming ‘Command Center Summit: Connected Care
Delivery’, Philips and TeleTracking will show how the command
center or clinical operations center approach to centralized care
helps to provide the real-time clinical and operational insights
needed to predict and manage demand and proactively assign
resources, thereby enabling the seamless delivery of care and
enhancing the patient and care provider experience.
“Philips is uniquely positioned to integrate and analyze
clinical data across our own solutions and those from third
parties, both inside and outside the hospital, to generate
real-time actionable analytics, and proactive recommendations to
help that patients are monitored 24/7 and timely transitioned to
the most appropriate care setting,” said Jeroen Tas, Chief
Innovation and Strategy Officer at Philips. “Connected care is
positively impacting patient care operations, and we look forward
to teaming up with TeleTracking in this unique Command Center
Summit to provide health systems with the insights and tools they
need to impact the Quadruple Aim of improving patient outcomes,
enhancing patient and staff experiences, and lowering the cost of
care.”
“TeleTracking has spent nearly three decades studying and
addressing the issues of inefficiency in healthcare, and we are
very pleased to co-sponsor this event with Philips, an important
collaborator in our efforts,” said Christopher Johnson, President
of TeleTracking. “We have developed a state-of-the-art operating
platform with a focus on providing the best possible experience for
patients and caregivers, bringing visibility to underlying data
that provides important hindsight into what has happened, so we can
learn from it; insight into what is happening, so we can respond to
it; and foresight into what will happen, so we can prepare for
it.”
Philips has a leading position in patient monitoring (e.g.
central patient monitoring), enterprise telehealth (e.g. the
centralized tele-ICU), predictive analytics (e.g. for monitoring
at-risk patients in their homes), and population health management
(e.g. patient stratification and identification of at-risk patient
groups). This expertise enables Philips to provide hospitals and
health systems with Clinical Operations Center solutions for
effectively managing patients across the health continuum. By
helping to optimize admissions, in-hospital transfers, and
back-to-home transfers based on each individual patient’s clinical
needs, they enable hospitals and healthcare systems to better
predict demand and match capacity. At the heart of Philips’
Clinical Operations Center approach are advanced data management
and adaptive intelligence technologies that support efficient
evidence-based decision making.
Command Center Summit 2019
Over the course of two days, attendees will hear from hospitals
with direct experience of establishing command centers in their
organizations. Discussion threads will include how to make the
business case for a command center; leveraging data to improve
clinical outcomes; and designing a command center to optimize
patient flow across the health continuum.
The presenters include hospital leaders from across the US. The
summit also features a joint keynote address from Philips Chief
Innovation and Strategy Officer Jeroen Tas, and Christopher
Johnson, President of TeleTracking, who will share their thoughts
on the significant benefits of a centralized approach to care and
how the two companies are helping health systems to transform their
operations both strategically and culturally.

About TeleTracking Technologies, Inc.
For every hour patients wait for care, they face objectively
worse outcomes. TeleTracking believes it is unacceptable that
patients are not able to access the care they need, when they need
it, due to operating inefficiencies and unnecessary cost barriers.
Our mission is simple, to ensure no one waits for the care they
need. And that’s why more than a decade ago, TeleTracking
recognized the significant benefits of a centralized approach to
managing patient flow, led the development of the Command Center
concept, and has implemented more than one hundred Operational
Command Centers across the United States and United
Kingdom. Named one of Becker's "Great Places to Work" in 2017
and 2018, the 2018 Innovator of the Year: Health IT at the
Pittsburgh Technology Council’s Tech 50 Awards, and a Pittsburgh
