Help teams achieve even better patient outcomes. Get more from existing resources and infrastructure. Help improve clinicians’ well-being and productivity. The Ascom Healthcare Platform offers seven, vendor-neutral highly interoperable clinical communication solutions. Each of them supported by global support and training programs.
Wherever they are in a facility, clinicians can coordinate and collaborate with colleagues via their built-for-healthcare Ascom phones.
The solution features automatic logging of all key data (nurse presence, response times, etc.). This supports regulatory compliance, and provides a statistical basis for performance reviews and improvement initiatives.
The advanced features of an Ascom solution can help reduce the physical and cognitive burdens on frontline staff. Filtered alerts and push-button task management contribute to quieter, calmer workplaces. While automated digital documentation reduces administrative workloads. These factors can make it easier to attract and retain skilled staff—a major goal for all hospital managers.
The Myco 4 is a rugged, Android Enterprise Recommended, easy-to-integrate smartphone that is purpose-built to deliver value. Designed to withstand harsh working environments and be shareable across staff and shifts, it helps you consolidate devices and lower the total cost of ownership. While helping you boost operational efficiency, improve patient-centered care and keep staff safe with advanced personal alarm features.
See how London’s Chase Farm Hospital—the UK’s first new-build ‘paperless’ facility—is benefitting from an Ascom clinical communications and collaboration solution.
Enable clinicians to communicate with patients, colleagues, hospital departments and interact with hospital information systems. Easily and seamlessly coordinate care delivery. Make it possible for clinicians to collaborate, regardless of their location, by sharing near-real time clinical data in multiple formats: text, photos, waveforms, videos.
The Ascom solution has allowed us to make the patients visible to the nurses, no matter where they are in the building
Each Ascom solution comes with transparent, predictable cost structures and service agreements. Licensing models and software/device upgrades agreements are customized and defined in advance. There are no surprises or hidden extras. Just a validated, proven solution from one of the leading names in clinical communications and coordination systems.
