KLAS discusses benefits of wireless UC systems in hospitals

Date: Mar 24, 2011

SearchHealthIT.com recently caught up with Jeremy Goff, senior research director at KLAS Enterprises LLC, to discuss one of the health care IT-ratings company's newest reports, "Internal Wireless Voice Communication System."

In this interview from the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society's HIMSS 2011 conference, Goff discusses hospital wireless unified communications (UC) systems with Features Writer Don Fluckinger. Goff explains why the technology appeals to health care providers and how it fits into IT strategic plans during this boom period for health IT. He also answers what might be CIOs' most pressing question when they evaluate these systems: Why would one purchase and implement a hospital UC system instead of simply distributing smartphones?

Let us know what you think about the video; email Don Fluckinger, Features Writer.
