Using Microsoft Unified Communications for caregiver collaboration
House Calls for Healthcare Professionals: Audio program
Do you feel frustrated that you don't have better tools for communicating and collaborating with colleagues and care team members? Are you tired of playing phone tag and wasting time trying to reach other people in your organization? Do you have what you need to be maximally efficient in caring for your patients?
Today's most progressive healthcare organizations are equipping their clinicians with advanced solutions to seamlessly connect them with colleagues, specialists, care teams, and others in the enterprise to improve patient safety and care outcomes. One such organization is the Asklepios Group, one of the leading healthcare providers in Europe. The organization owns and operates more than 100 hospitals and rehabilitation clinics across the world.
In this edition of House Calls, Bill Crounse, M.D., and his guests discuss how the Asklepios Group uses Microsoft Unified Communications to improve patient outcomes and caregiver satisfaction, while managing costs and privacy across the entire continuum of care.
