Case Study: Temple Health achieves a 30–40% drop in sepsis mortality and $11,000/month cost savings with TigerConnect

Advanced System Integration, Reliability, and Ease of Use Top Priorities for Temple Health’s Solution

Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia modernized its clinical communications to meet HIPAA encryption requirements and improve care coordination. Facing fragmented workflows, downtime risks and the need for EHR integration, the academic medical center selected TigerConnect for its reliability, ease of use and ability to secure sensitive data across the organization.

TigerConnect unified messaging across departments, fully integrated with Epic to deliver sepsis alerts, and served as the primary communication tool during a five-day email outage. The implementation achieved 100% staff adoption, cut monthly paging costs from over $12,000 to about $1,000 (roughly $55,000 annual savings / ~$11,000 monthly cost reduction), reduced wait-times and downtime, and contributed to a 30–40% drop in sepsis mortality.
