PerfectServe Integrates with Microsoft Skype for Business to Bolster Care Team Collaboration
Addition of video conferencing to conversations enhances clinical communication
Addition of video conferencing to conversations enhances clinical communication
Using PerfectServe on iPhones or Android smartphones, providers in hospitals, health systems and practices can combine the power of PerfectServe’s Dynamic Intelligent Routing® with Skype for Business secure video conferencing.
Picture these clinical scenarios: A hospitalist consulting with an off-site cardiologist via PerfectServe could initiate a video in real time to show a patient’s EKG strip for analysis, or consult with a pulmonologist to discuss changes discovered on a patient’s chest X-ray. In another case, an attending physician could video conference with an infectious disease specialist about a patient’s suspicious rash, which could require accelerated hospital admission for sepsis prevention treatment.
“The power of launching Skype for Business capabilities within PerfectServe is one more innovative way of making face-to-face clinical conversations possible when care team members are in disparate locations,” said Terry Edwards, President and CEO of PerfectServe. “By adding Skype for Business’ video component to conversations, healthcare professionals could interpret the level of concern on colleagues’ faces and read body language to affirm whether orders are understood.”
Edwards continued, “Care team members rely on clear, reliable and intelligent clinical communication to connect with the right people at any time to take action. The best patient outcomes result from the most efficient communication path affecting clinical decision-making.”
