TigerText, the #1 leader in secure, real-time messaging, has expanded 
      its HIPAA compliant mobile messaging platform to a new healthcare 
      segment, hospice providers, and today announced the addition of 7 new 
      hospice organizations to its growing list of healthcare customers. 
      Amazing Grace Hospice, Mt. Hood Hospice, Hallmark Hospice, Hospice 
      Austin, Heartsway Hospice, and Sacred Heart Hospice are among these 
      recent organizations who have recently adopted TigerTextPRO as their 
      secure messaging solution.
    
Frequently in these organizations, patients are cared for by a team that 
      consists of a number of different professionals including physicians, 
      nurses, social workers, counselors, hospice aides, clergy, therapists, 
      and volunteers who need to be able to easily communicate from various 
      locations. Patient care is often administered 24 hours a day, so it is 
      important care providers are always readily connected. Key integrated 
      features like group messaging are useful to allow these patient teams to 
      stay updated and collaborate on treatment at all times from any location.
    
    
      "TigerTextPRO is a step in the right direction for improving patient 
      care because quick and simple mobile communication throughout the 
      organization is vital." Said Burt Cigler, IT Coordinator at Hallmark 
      Hospice in Mesa, AZ. "And TigerTextPro is extremely simple to use so 
      that a nurse, physician, and social worker can all easily collaborate in 
      real-time on a patient's treatment which facilitates better care."
    
    
      "Hospice and other healthcare segments are at a disadvantage when it 
      comes to unified communications because SMS text-messaging PHI is not 
      HIPAA compliant," said TigerText Co-Founder Jeffrey Evans. "However, 
      healthcare workers need to be able to send text based messages because 
      it flat out improves communication. That is why it is so prevalent. Text 
      communication should be encouraged by healthcare providers as long as 
      they have a platform like TigerText in place that ensures the 
      communication is HIPAA compliant."
    
    
      TigerText solves communication problems for hospice providers because it 
      provides a secure 
      messaging network that is efficient and simple to deploy. The modern 
      hospice is typically not situated at a single place, building or 
      institution. Instead, it provides meaningful treatment to the terminally 
      ill in various locales whether in their own home or another other place 
      of care. Therefore, a secure, efficient unified 
      mobile communication system is vital to the hospice's daily 
      workflow. Since TigerText is a SaaS cloud-based application, it can be 
      accessed through a providers' personal smartphone or any web enabled 
      computer.
