Hill Rom : Introduces LINQ™ Mobile Application

CHICAGO, Jan. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hill-Rom Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: HRC), today announced the introduction of LINQ™ mobile, a smartphone application that delivers improved communication to help caregivers deliver better care by connecting members of the care team to each other, to their patients, and to patient information in real-time. 

"As Hill-Rom expands the breadth of our digital communications portfolio and the information we can deliver, the LINQ mobile app will become an essential tool for caregivers around the world," said John Groetelaars, president and CEO of Hill-Rom. "We're excited for caregivers to see the enormous value of having real-time access to critical patient information and more efficient communication with their team members."

Hospitals and health systems are challenged with integrating multiple, often disjointed technologies for care team communications. The LINQ mobile app integrates staff and patient interactions with clinical systems and patient information to help improve care team collaboration, communication, compliance and efficiency on an easy-to-use, scalable platform, while streamlining IT infrastructure and management. As a platform, the LINQ mobile app will expand its capabilities over time, continuously adding value for customers and their patients.

"The LINQ mobile app has greatly improved the patient experience. We have more time at the bedside, and can make sure patient needs are being met in a timely manner," said Andrea Hill, DNP, RN, director of Inpatient Services, North Carolina Specialty Hospital. "It's all about saving time. We have seen an improvement in response times since we started using the LINQ mobile app, and patient satisfaction scores have increased."

The LINQ mobile app is available initially in the United States and Canada, and will be expanding to Europe and other regions in 2019.
