Healthcare communications company Telmediq has won the prestigious 2018 Category Leader award for Secure Communications Platforms from KLAS, a research and insights firm that gathers data and delivers reports on healthcare technology.

The award is part of the '2018 Best in KLAS: Software and Services' report, which was released today. Every year, KLAS interviews thousands of healthcare professionals about the products and services their organizations use. The company shares the information online in real time so other providers can benefit from their peers' experience. The 'Best in KLAS' report reflects data compiled over the past year.

Telmediq won the 2018 Category Leader Designation for the Secure Communications Platform market segment. The award recognizes the highest rated company for each category based on live data from the KLAS website. 'Category Leader is more than a ranking,' says Adam Gale, President of KLAS. 'It is a recognition of vendors committed to delivering superior solutions. It gives voice to thousands of providers who are demanding better performance, usability and interoperability in healthcare technology.'

Healthcare organizations rely on Telmediq to help them solve their communications problems while remaining compliant with HIPAA. The company offers a unified communications solution that includes secure messaging, pager replacement, care coordination, alarm management and documentation. On the KLAS website, one chief information officer (CIO) said, 'Everyone is quickly catching on to Telmediq. Everybody is demanding it and wants it now … Physicians are raving about it.'

Another CIO noted that 'Telmediq is one of the more successful things I have promoted here. Everybody was clamoring for secure texting, but we really needed a platform. I wanted something that was integrated into the workflow, had messaging templates, and automatically populated with things related to the care team and patient location.'
