Challenges

• The on-site, mobile nursing staff and facilities support team need to be more reachable in order to provide faster response to patients and guests.
• A more efficient way of dealing with appointment requests and inbound queries is needed.
• Budgets are always under pressure so it’s important to cut costs. Predictable costs from cloud solutions will help.

Solutions

• Yoozoom’s Cloud Telephony delivers a cloud solution that meets the nursing care home’s communications needs. The care home Manager can easily manage the service in the office or remotely through the intuitive self-service Portal.
• Phones simply plug into the data network socket and Clients and Apps run on desktops, tablets and mobile devices.
• Auto Attendant provides a personalised greeting message and a menu offering latest news updates for the care home.
• Information flow can be sped up with the Push-to-Talk intercom feature which can be used to make announcements through the desk phone speaker.
• With the App installed on mobile devices and tablets for nursing staff and support teams, they can keep in close contact. Instant Messaging can be used to communicate sensitive information discreetly with escalation to phone calls if and when required.
