Today you must facilitate communications and collaboration for a workforce separated by geography, time zones, and facilities. Although advances in research, treatment, and processes strengthen the healthcare system, accessing them may require interaction between multiple sites or clinicians. This changing environment creates new challenges for you. LifeSize and WebEx technology offers a platform for you to address clinical and operational challenges in two major ways.

First, improve care & productivity by eliminating distance as a barrier to delivering care:

•     Provide consultations and second opinions to sites without requisite clinical resources
•     Use application sharing to help clinicians access records from disparate systems
•     Remotely engage physicians for whom  travel would have precluded using their expertise
•     Conduct research collaboration sessions without the need to travel

Second, reduce costs associated with medical education and application training:

•     Conduct regional, staff, and operations meetings without travel
•     Deliver continuing medical education for physicians and nurses
•     Provide education opportunities on demand, online
•     Roll out application training to healthcare staff on new processes
•     Conduct education for large groups
•     Provide online forums for group case reviews

The LifeSize and WebEx platform facilitates better communications, learning, and collaboration through a highly secure, integrated environment. It’s a virtual team workspace, training center, and meeting center with single sign-on to support all collaboration tools and solutions.
