Hospitals and healthcare providers confront an array of financial and operational challenges. Mid-sized and regional providers in particular face increasing competitive pressure and the prospect of consolidation. This makes cost reduction and enhanced productivity top priorities. Improving the patient experience – from both a care delivery and administrative standpoint – is similarly essential. Add the COVID-19 pandemic to the mix and you have a perfect storm of disruption.

In this environment, the ability to communicate and collaborate across different locations, functions and channels is imperative. Doctors and nurses – many of whom work in multiple facilities – must communicate across different locations, using different devices.

Caregivers must collaborate with administrative staff, and information on treatments and diagnoses must be accessible to specialists as well as insurance carriers. That said, open communication and data sharing can’t be achieved at the expense of secure protection of sensitive patient information. The rapid growth of telehealth requires call center capabilities and infrastructure and applications to support hotlines, remote monitoring and a wide range of related functions.
