About TeleTracking Technologies, Inc.
For every hour a patient waits for care, they face objectively worse outcomes. TeleTracking believes it is unacceptable that patients are not able to access the care they need, when they need it, due to operating inefficiencies and unnecessary cost barriers. Our mission is simple, to ensure no one waits for the care they need. And that’s why three decades ago, TeleTracking recognized the significant benefits of a centralized approach to managing patient flow and in the last decade has implemented more than one hundred health system command centers across the United States and the United Kingdom. TeleTracking has delivered extraordinary outcomes for nearly three decades that have been the subject of study by KLAS, Gartner and the RAND Corporation.
