Siemens Enterprise Communications is all set to take part in HIMSS12, an event happening from Feb. 20-24 at the Venetian Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas.
Company officials confirmed that they would showcase the company’s latest technology including unified communications (UC) technology and OpenScape Health Station, designed to work together to improve the patient experience, streamline clinical workflow, and help healthcare organizations deliver better patient care.
Siemens Enterprise Communication’s OpenScape Health Station is aimed at both patient and clinicians. The solution helps patients to access games, movies, music, the Internet, a telephone and educational videos at the beside. The same solution can be used by the Clinicians for adding beside documentation to any EMR platform, and it can allow for single-sign on badge swipe and a barcode reader for medication administration.
This versatile solution offers integrated two-way video conferencing to telemedicine and remote healthcare and these features help hospitals to enhance Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores and remain competitive.
The company recently unveiled OpenScape Desktop Videoconferencing as a new addition to the OpenScape UC Suite, making it less complex and more cost-effective for enterprises to be able to utilize videoconferencing on every desktop within the organization.
New, highly powerful security and management updates have also been incorporated in the updated suite in order for an easier transition for companies that are beginning to use multimedia SIP platforms based on next-generation architecture. In addition, OpenScape Desktop Videoconferencing has been seamlessly integrated with video-enabled OpenScape UC clients.
Interested can view the demonstrations of the OpenScape Health Station as well as OpenScape Xpert, which can integrate communication for first responders; OpenScape Contact Center, for providing proactive outreach for patient appointment reminders or surveys; and Siemens Enterprise Communications' UC solution, OpenScape Voice.
