Healthcare Provider Vendors Selected for the “Cool Vendor” Report are Innovative, Impactful and Intriguing
NASHVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- DisastersNet, an information technology company that is solely focused on helping hospitals improve the processes that increase quality and safety of care, has been included in the list of “Cool Vendors” in the Cool Vendors in Healthcare Providers, 2011* report by Gartner, Inc., company officials announced today.
Five vendors were profiled in this report, each of which exemplified an innovative approach to some of the challenges of information collection, aggregation and sharing in healthcare – challenges that are gaining more attention with the move toward accountable and integrated care.*
“We’re excited to be included in the Cool Vendor report by Gartner,” says Chris Riddle, founder and president of DisastersNet. “Improving processes may not sound ‘cool,’ but enhancing quality and safety of care is extremely important because hospitals can’t afford to make mistakes.”
DisastersNet’s technologies are shaped by more than 25 years of “real world” hospital experience and rapidly simplify two complex – yet critical – areas of hospital operations: incident management response and compliance with protocols, both of which improve the quality and safety of patient care.
The company’s landmark product, Disaster Incident Management System (DIMS), is used in more than 100 hospitals, including healthcare systems and regional hospital affiliate groups across the nation. This technology automates a healthcare facility’s “incident management” services. Incident management services are the protocols and procedures that hospitals follow to manage emergency and other non-regular incidents that may occur within the organization.
