HOSPITAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

A holistic approach to build Communication System enabling Voice, Data and Video interactions for all stakeholders in Healthcare Ecosystem

Healthcare providers across the world are recognising the important role that technology can play in enhancing the overall quality of healthcare services. IT solutions like Hospital Information System (HIS), Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) etc. have become basic components of IT landscape in healthcare organisations. While healthcare organisations spend much time and money on selecting these IT solutions, not much thought is given to Hospital Communication Systems (HCS) which need to work in tandem with the IT solutions to maximise returns on technology investments.
Healthcare workers live in a very dynamic environment where they constantly gather, communicate and analyse information to take clinical decisions and to monitor effect of the decisions made. All healthcare workers will vouch for the fact that timely intervention based on real-time evidence, saves lives day in and day out. The importance of collaboration and communication in healthcare delivery is exceptionally high as the industry deals with issues of life and death where time lost could result in loosing somebody’s life.
