FEATURE - Industry Innovation Article -Ascom

There are many challenges in the modern world these days, and healthcare is no exception. Workforce shortage in healthcare is nothing new in the industry with the increase in consumer demand and the recent pressure from the pandemic. The health workforce faces being overworked and burnt out, affecting the quality of care. They often feel swarmed with multiple tasks and administrative tasks. However, there’s one promising area that can help to lift the pressure on staff, which is technology in helping them to feel more supported.

At Ascom, we design technology and communication solutions for the healthcare industry to help to create a safer and more efficient working environment for staff and patients. For example, the Ascom Healthcare platform is designed to bridge the information gap across points of care and care team members to support better-informed clinical decisions. The platform is open, vendor-agnostic, and standard-based to integrate with different healthcare devices and systems. This Ascom unified communication platform integrates all communication methods into one platform and delivers useful analytics for actionable insights ensuring workplace efficiencies.
