Transform Healthcare with Optimized Collaboration and Communication


What Challenges You?


Today you must facilitate collaboration and communication for a workforce separated by geography, time zones, and facilities. Although advances in research, treatment, and processes strengthen the healthcare system, accessing them may require interaction between multiple sites or clinicians. This changing environment creates new challenges for you.


• Increasing Travel: Patients are often referred to specialists located at remote sites or a different facility, requiring time and travel.


• Slow Treatment Delivery: Care and research teams must often collaborate across organizations, which can affect the speed and effectiveness of treatment.


• Declining Quality of Care: Patient transfers make clinics lose revenue, incur travel costs, and lower patient satisfaction, affecting the quality of care.


• Managing Medical Education: Continuing medical education often requires doctors and nurses to travel and take time away from patients.


• Lost Productivity: The constant need to update processes, such as health records management or nursing care plans, requires training that can impair productivity.
