Why is it necessary?
In general practice, telephony is crucial for delivering patient care and ensuring operational efficiency. However, telephony systems often fall behind the rapid pace of digital innovation, a challenge that became evident during the COVID-19 pandemic with the rise in remote communication needs.
The transition to a fully digital network by 2025, led by BT's move from the analogue PSTN to digital, presents a significant opportunity for general practices to upgrade their telephony through Internet Protocol (IP) technology.
Onecom's Care Connect is at the forefront of this shift, offering an IP-based, cloud-hosted telephony solution that integrates with clinical systems and transcends traditional limitations, ensuring efficiency, reliability, and security.
Care Connect equips practices to meet today's challenges and align to a digital future, staying at the forefront of patient care and operational excellence.
