ShoreTel Upgrades Healthcare Communication
Feb 08, 2010 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) --
ShoreTel, a provider of IP phone systems with fully integrated Unified Communications (UC), said the company is increasingly being chosen by healthcare organizations seeking the right prescription to cure a variety of communication ills that plague medical staff, administrators and IT managers.
According to a release, healthcare organizations are under pressure to expand and upgrade their communication systems to ensure more efficient operation, better collaboration among cross-discipline teams, and faster responses to medical situations. In addition, typical hospital IT staffs have few resources in telephony, despite having to manage the diverse PBX systems deployed at the many facilities that make up today's complex healthcare institutions.
ShoreTel delivers an N+1 distributed architecture across multiple facilities and associated practices. With support for open standards, ShoreTel integrates existing PBX systems, the variety of devices typically used in and around hospitals, and various healthcare applications, including nurse call systems and electronic medical record systems.
"Healthcare institutions have several competing needs," said Kevin Gavin, vice president of marketing for ShoreTel. "They must deploy the latest communications technology in order to improve services, but they often don't have large budgets or large IT staffs, and most doctors and nurses don't have the time to learn new and complex systems. ShoreTel's ease of deployment and use, along with its ability to easily integrate with existing PBX systems, devices and software solutions, lets organizations add the capabilities they need without busting their budgets or overburdening their medical staff."
