Unfortunately depends on WiFi at work – TigerConnect Review

I am a PA at a level one trauma center working on emergency general surgery. My hospital recently began using tiger connect. My team uses it to update each other on patients and cases, and send pictures of wounds. We also receive messages from nursing staff and other services. Still have our pavers. Thank goodness. It’s great when the WiFi is connected and fast, however there are days when the app is buffering and I don’t receive messages in a timely manner. The app itself is fine, but the fact that I rely on my hospital’s WiFi makes it dangerous to use for urgent and emergent communication. I certainly hope my hospital will not do away with our pagers, as cumbersome as they are. The other downfall is that some providers will use the pagers for consults and some will assume using tiger connect is appropriate. It prevents people from using pagers for emergency consults.
