• Faster incident response with on-demand audio and videoconferencing among crisis management teams scattered throughout a facility

• Improve information exchange among colleagues and experts with integrated voice, video, and data communications

• Reduce cost of care through rapid audio or videoconferencing instead of travel

• Improve patient satisfaction and quality of care in multilingual communities through rapid connection with offsite interpreters

The Collaborative Care solution from Cisco ® uses audio and videoconferencing technologies to interconnect teams on demand, leading to better decisions and more effective care. Part of the Cisco® Clinical Connection Suite, the system enables clinicians and first responders to consult as needed with colleagues or experts across campus, across town, or across the country. And in today's increasingly multilingual communities, clinicians can quickly contact offsite interpreters to improve communication between patients and care providers.

The Collaborative Care solution is a readily accessible, cost-effective audio and videoconferencing system. As easy to use as dialing a telephone, it fosters better communication among geographically dispersed team members. For example, first responders can send a video of injuries to emergency room personnel, who can recommend on-scene treatments and assemble teams prior to arrival at the hospital.

As a component of the Cisco Clinical Connection Suite, the Collaborative Care system is a combination of Cisco wireless and video phones, Cisco CallManager, a central audio and videoconferencing system, Cisco MeetingPlace® software, and a Cisco Medical-Grade network. The integrated screen on Cisco phones can display video and text or waveform data. Cisco MeetingPlace and audio and videoconferencing solutions centrally control and switch conference participants. The Cisco network integrates voice, video, and data into a single infrastructure, making videoconferencing systems easier and less expensive to deploy and manage than a separate system.
