- UC combined with the OpenScape Health Station improves patient, nurse and clinician experience by enhancing mobility and information delivery -

London, 27 February 2013: Siemens Enterprise Communications is to demonstrate its OpenScape Health Station for the first time in the UK, as well as other leading unified communications (UC) technologies, at Unified Communications Expo, 5th and 6th March, London Olympia (stand G720). The solutions work together to improve the patient experience, streamline the clinical workflow and help healthcare organisations deliver better patient care while improving efficiency.

The OpenScape Health Station delivers a variety of applications designed for patients and clinicians. It provides patients with easy access to games, movies, music (free of charge and premium paid services), the Internet, a telephone and educational videos at the bedside. Clinicians can use the same device for instant and secure access to documents, patient information, and any EMR/EPR platform. The OpenScape Health Station is built on open standards to ensure it is able to work with the broadest possible range of medical/telemedical devices, enabling a more progressive approach to healthcare.

Integrated two-way video conferencing provides an entry point to telemedicine and remote healthcare - a growing trend. As well as transforming how patients can be cared for, the solution also integrates with back-end functions, such as ordering meals and offering patient surveys, which can help hospitals improve service levels to build brand equity while reducing admin overheads.

The OpenScape Health Station will be on demonstration on the Siemens Enterprise Communications stand alongside other innovative products for UC including:

• OpenScape Mobility, which can integrate communications for remote workers

• OpenScape Cloud Contact Center, for providing proactive outreach for patient appointment reminders or surveys

• Siemens Enterprise Communications' award-winning UC solution, OpenScape Voice.

OpenScape Voice helps hospitals reduce costs by seamlessly integrating with existing data centre infrastructure and providing the scalability, resiliency and application integration that healthcare organisations require as mobility becomes standard. These solutions can improve efficiency and create new revenue streams for healthcare organisations.
