Healthcare providers are using telehealth to support
high standards of care and cost reduction, because
telehealth creates efficient, effective personal
interactions between caregivers and patients. But large
health care campuses typically encompass many separate
patient communication operations, and compartmentalized,
uncoordinated care is often reflected in
compartmentalized, uncoordinated communication systems
and telehealth systems.
Unified Patient-Provider Communications (UPPC) consolidates these diverse operations into a single platform, reducing costs and creating a consistent, unified patient experience that strengthens the bonds of trust between provider and patient and supports positive outcomes. UPPC provides a unified environment for all telehealth interactions. It supports intelligent queuing and routing of calls and telehealth sessions, and it interoperates with Electronic Health Records (EHR) to deliver timely, accurate information with every call. UPPC makes telehealth a managed environment and an integral part of the EHR system.
