Moving beyond telehealth






Healthcare providers have long been hampered by inefficient communication systems, negatively impacting productivity every day. The time sink created by underperforming, outdated and disconnected communication systems can have a deep and adverse impact on productivity and patient outcomes.


  • Improving provider collaboration and patient care with unified communications (UC)
  • Providers and patients today expect access to seamless digital healthcare — whether via video, voice or in-person. To meet that expectation, the ability to rapidly and safely share protected health information (PHI) and other important data is essential. A resilient data and communications infrastructure is more important than ever
  • Collaboration platforms like UC combine technologies that enable virtual engagement and connect healthcare teams wherever they are.
  • For high-quality care experiences and to meet the Quadruple Aim — improving patient and clinician experiences, lowering costs and improving care outcomes — healthcare organizations require reliable connectivity and communication tools that can scale and adapt to this new environment.
  • Healthcare organizations need to communicate more efficiently, share files securely and ultimately improve the delivery of care. In response to these and other concerns, the adoption of unified communications as a service (UCaaS) is growing across all market segments.
  • Gartner forecasts that from 2022 through 2026, the extent to which organizations deploy cloud telephony will increase, from about 35% of overall telephony users to 55%.
