Unified Communications in Healthcare
Applications for desktop phones – These easy-to-use applications are designed to help healthcare organizations enhance service and quality of care they provide by improving response times, providing easy access to information, facilitating patient and staff communications, and allowing increased emergency response features with advanced capabilities such as:
Patient lobby check-in
Call recording and one-touch alert emergency notification for medical staff
Patient management which allows users to add and search appointment details, add new patient information, analyze dial-out success and failure rates for appointment confirmation as well as manage the sign-out, notification and processing of patients
Pre-recorded group paging
Desktop client for unified communications – This desktop productivity client combines mobility, rich presence, communication history, instant messaging, call control, voice, video conferencing and collaboration into one powerful, easy to manage solution.
Attendant Console – A smart application that provides the latest in advanced call-processing capabilities and productivity enhancements. With IP mobility and Presence/Status capabilities, attendants can be located and identify who is available.

Unified Infrastructure in Healthcare
IP Phones – NEC’s latest IP phones provide the features and functionality of traditional phones with the seamless integration of advanced IP applications. The phones are ergonomically designed for natural comfort and facilitate simple use through color touch screen or an array of menu-driven soft key functions and easy-access function keys.
IP Communications Servers – NEC’s robust, feature-rich communications servers are designed to help meet the communications needs of any size healthcare organization – from single and multi-location clinic practices to large hospital and healthcare systems. The SV8000 series servers support both pure IP and a combination of IP and traditional circuit-switched telephones.
