Telmediq Scores Best in KLAS: Named Clinical Communications Category Leader for Fourth Year in a Row

It was announced today that PerfectServe’s Telmediq solution received the coveted 2021 Best in KLAS award for the Clinical Communications segment. Telmediq finished with a score of 92.2, which is more than four points above the average Clinical Communication vendor score of 87.9.

First and foremost, we have to thank our customers for their continued partnership. The last 12 months have been endlessly challenging for healthcare organizations, and it’s been a pleasure working with so many of them to support their efforts responding to a public health crisis. We’re honored to be part of the incredible work so many frontline healthcare workers do every day, and customers will continue to be at the center of every decision we make.

This also marks Telmediq’s fourth consecutive year as the category leader for the Clinical Communications segment, and it reflects countless hours of hard work and dedication by our entire team, from support to product to R&D and beyond. Of particular note, three of the wins have come since PerfectServe’s acquisition of Telmediq in early 2019. Mergers and acquisitions frequently bring concerns about instability for customers, but with PerfectServe’s strong leadership team, we’re proud to say that the company’s expanded resources and talented employees have helped us stay laser focused on delivering the best results for customers.

It’s true that awards are always validating, but recognition from KLAS stands apart because it directly reflects the voice of our customers. KLAS checks in with more than 30,000 healthcare professionals every year as part of their surveying process, so if a product is lacking, they’re going to hear about it firsthand. For that reason, we celebrate this award as proof of successful partnerships with the incredible healthcare organizations we’re fortunate to call customers.

The word “partner” has been uttered in many a PerfectServe Zoom meeting over the last 12 months as we have considered the best ways to support customers through the COVID-19 pandemic. These discussions resulted in an offer of free software and services in the initial stages of the outbreak, and customer feedback about the need for remote patient engagement led us to reprioritize our product roadmap to rapidly develop and launch a new Patient & Family Communication solution that supports video visits, real-time family text updates, and a virtual waiting room capability. Agility and customer service were the themes of 2020.

As we build on the momentum of this humbling recognition and think about what’s ahead for 2021, the words of PerfectServe CEO Guillaume Castel from his interview with HIStalk in September ring truer than ever:

• “All 350 of us at PerfectServe wake up in the morning with a desire to solve bigger problems for our clients and their patients. We start with the end in mind. We are excited about the progress that we have made with our clients and the progress that they are making with their patients.”
• “The journey is what we think of as unified communications. It crosses boundaries and it cannot be an afterthought. It needs to be core to the mission of the company that commits to delivering it. Similarly, workflow enhancements can be achieved by combining technology and innovation with experience and know-how, not just releasing tools and demanding that a clinician use them.”
• “We spent a great deal of time thoughtfully integrating the various capabilities and thinking about how we could make the sum of the parts bigger than what they were. What we have now is a cross continuum way of enabling communications at scale for the largest health systems in the United States.”

Guillaume’s statements aren’t just idle talk, either. KLAS commentary for Telmediq consistently highlights the professionalism of our team, their willingness to listen to—and take action based on—customer feedback, and how well the platform works. This December 2020 testimony from one organization’s CMIO is a prime example:

• “Telmediq’s support for us is beyond compare. We are interfacing their product with another vendor’s system, and it is not an easy thing to pass that information back and forth. However, Telmediq has always been willing to invest the time from their side to help our people do that integration. Telmediq is very willing to consider ideas. If we say that we want an improvement to the product, they will actually take that back to their developers, and some version down the road will have that change in it. Telmediq is very responsive to their clients in terms of optimizing the product and doing product development to make it work better.”

More health systems than ever are relying on clinical communication & collaboration (CC&C) systems to coordinate care, and the trend is likely to accelerate in coming years. Though a lot has changed at PerfectServe in the last few years, our dedication to customers and drive to innovate have not wavered in the slightest. With our class-leading (and KLAS-leading!) clinical communication system supplemented by advanced provider scheduling and patient communication capabilities, PerfectServe is uniquely positioned to help health systems improve outcomes for patients—both now and far into the future—by delivering the right information to the right person at the right time for any given situation.

Check back next year around this time to see if we’re holding true to our commitment by going five-for-five with KLAS. For now, we’re going to get back to work.
