Enable Cost-effective Clinical Collaboration
Cisco TelePresence can help you connect people across regional or global
locations for training, consultation, and specialized collaboration. By creating an
immersive experience for participants, Cisco TelePresence enhances training
solutions. The experience facilitates learning and interaction, making it more
effective for continuing medical education and resident training. Residents and staff
no longer have to travel extensively for training, improving their clinical productivity,
reducing travel-related fatigue, and minimizing travel expenses.
Extend Consultation Virtually
Using Cisco TelePresence, you can extend consultation capabilities to sites w
ithout
on-location specialists. For institutions seeking to expand service coverage or
provide remote care to affiliates and clinics, the ability to consult with patients
remotely can be a significant advantage. The ability to provide remote care can
also be a recruiting and retention benefit for physicians. In addition to direct
caregivers, research teams and sales teams can benefit from enhanced
collaboration capabilities as they develop new drugs, provide training on new
instruments, or consult on innovative procedures.
Manage Distributed Operations
Cisco TelePresence enables face-to-face meetings across global locations, such
as administrative, nursing, and physician teams. Executives and specialty experts
can collaborate "live" with internal teams, supply chain partners, and other
resources, minimizing travel and its associated costs. The ability to collaborate in
real time using Cisco TelePresence enables you to quickly deploy new clinical
processes, manage remote sites more effectively, optimize clinical and staff
resources, and participate in operations across multiple sites. The ability to
immediately address issues and adapt to changing conditions helps improve care,
optimize key clinical resources and broaden access to care. For many Cisco
customers, a Cisco TelePresence solution pays back its investment within a year.
Scale Scarce Resources
Limited physician and clinician resources can now be scaled across multiple
locations to provide consistent, optimized levels of quality care. Specialized
diagnoses and face-to-face consultations can be delivered cost-effectively and
more frequently. Hospitals and specialty centers that are linked using Cisco
TelePresence can take advantage of scarce resources, such as ICU physician
monitoring, virtually. They can also cross-train teams faster, adopt new protocols
more efficiently, and work together to deliver improved healthcare coverage to
satellite and remote locations.
