The 2015/2016 Best in KLAS report is published by KLAS, an independent healthcare research firm focused on investigating and reporting on the performance of healthcare vendors. KLAS researchers collect feedback directly from healthcare providers in several different segments. They work with thousands of hospitals to accumulate honest, accurate and impartial rankings of vendor performance in the industry. A Category Leader designation classifies a vendor who delivers excellence with an unwavering passion and has outperformed other vendors in their specific market segment; in Connexall’s case, Alarm Management.

As the 2015/2016 Category Leader, Connexall had an overall performance score of 88.9 out of 100- the highest score among KLAS-rated vendors in Alarm Management. KLAS scores are weighted in the following key areas: sales and contracting, implementation and training, functionality and upgrades, and service and support. Connexall ranked highest in all of these areas. Specifically noted was Connexall’s proactive service, vendor executive involvement, excellent phone and web support, integration goal support, and delivery of new technology.

As a key component of the Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goal concentrating on reducing alarm fatigue within hospitals, facilities are required to create an alarm management plan and implement by January 2016. Given the expanding number, and heterogeneous nature of clinical alarms, the great majority of hospitals will need to look to industry leaders to assist in meeting this challenge.

“For more than twenty years, Connexall’s primary focus has always been to create the industry’s best product and broadest possible connectivity while delivering a superior customer experience,” stated John Elms, Connexall president. “We are honored that our customers have recognized our commitment to their success and by their ratings regarded us Category Leader in the 2015/2016 Best in KLAS Awards.”
