Saint Josef Health Centers Optimize Healthcare in Rural Environments with Avaya Scopia

With this videoconferencing solution they have been able to connect the three hospitals that make up this healthcare group, allowing to optimally manage the growing demand for medical care in the area.

The Saint Josef Regional Health Center is made up of three hospitals located in Wiesbaden, Rheingau and Bad Schwalbach (Otto Fricke). This association required a solution to facilitate the care of specialist doctors with patients., regardless of your location, that will optimize consultations with the respective teams of each hospital, in many cases with little notice. Reduce time spent commuting, whether it was to care for patients or meet with medical teams, It meant more time to spend with people.

The objective was to offer a better level of health care to people living in rural areas.. The video conferencing tool Avaya Scopia was the solution to achieve optimal coordination between the care team and the specialists of the hospitals that make up this association.

With this videoconferencing solution, the three facilities have been connected and collaboration between the different hospitals has been simplified and strengthened., especially when analyzing medical records.

During conferences doctors can view data and images, like x-rays, MRI images or laboratory data. This tool offers St Josef the possibility of integrating patient data and vital data of all types in real time, which represents an important advantage.

“Scopia is a robust solution that allows you to send images and sound with great quality. Besides, offers maximum security, something very important when working with confidential patient data. We did not want an isolated solution but an open platform prepared for the future, that was housed in our facilities and allowed us to gradually develop many of the possible scenarios for medical care through the use of video”, comments Thomas Gorniok, IT manager en el St. Josef’s Hospital Wiesbaden.
