Phone Systems for Healthcare and Wellness

The healthcare profession is constantly under pressure to streamline itself, to reduce costs, and to improve quality of care. This is reflected in a report, by the US Health and Human Services Department, which states that the use of computers in the health care industry could decrease medical mistakes by 95%.

Communication technologies integrated with computer applications can reap large benefits for medical practices prior to, during and after patient care. Your telephone system is a lifeline, both for your patients and your practice. You want to provide the best service to your patients, allowing them to reach you in an emergency and making sure all calls are handled promptly, but you also need to be in control of your time and your office's operation. Today's medical practice needs the security of a versatile telephone system that provides the most advanced and most reliable connections for patients and staff, any time of the day or night. 

HIPAA Requirements Make Fax Servers Key to your Communications Infrastructure

With more and more healthcare providers using electronic medical records (EMR) and electronic data interchange (EDI), standards were put in place through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) to ensure privacy of protected patient information. Implementing a fax server can ensure that important patient information remains secure and is delivered directly to the intended party. No more standing by the fax machine to wait for a fax from a patient. Fax servers also allow for information to be routed quickly to other recipients that might require the information.

In addition to physician’s offices, other healthcare professionals can also benefit from converged communication solutions. Our customers include chiropractors, dentists, dermatologists and orthodontists. Alternate Access has a converged communication solution to meet the special requirements of medical offices.
