Efficiency
in the administration and delivery of healthcare has become
a national imperative. Hospitals, clinics and health service
institutions of all types must find new ways to streamline
operations... to bridge the "pockets of
information" that disrupt the flow of communication in
their environments... to manage their technological and
intellectual resources more effectively in order to increase
utilization and improve the delivery and maintenance of
quality care - ultimately, to lower costs. The necessary
improvements in productivity include making doctors and
clinical professionals more accessible to the institution,
which is why telecommunications package an institution
employs is as critical to its success as any other piece of
medical equipment.
