HealthCare Institutes, in today's highly competitive market, are facing various challenges: Dealing with limited budgets and fewer personnel, they try to increase the quality of medical services and ensure patient safety.
On the other hand aging and patient population are increased.
As Digital Technology penetrates in medical equipment industry, the need of Information and Communication Technology involvement in the area of Health is becoming more than essential.
Intracom Telecom, in response to that, presents a product offering of medical solutions addressed to HealthCare service providers.
Most recent updates on IT and Communication Technologies are used to provide the best quality of services associated with the highest technology standards.
Difficulties in accessing healthcare have long been a common event among citizens living in remote areas worldwide. Providing health services relevant to those of the large continental cities, while also diminishing the inequality in healthcare access between citizens living in continental urban areas and those in remote rural areas, is an ambitious goal driven by contemporary technological advancements.
Technology has been changing the medical landscape dramatically for decades. Digitized medical records, mHealth, portals and sensor/wearable technologies allow physicians to operate much more efficiently while diminishing error probability. Telemedicine is another technology approach that is poised to make practices more profitable, improve patient outcomes and provide providers unprecedented flexibility.
Moreover, medical training sessions and access to high quality specialized medical knowledge has been proven to highly benefit physician continuous education, otherwise unattainable.
Intracom Telecom's telemedicine solution has been diligently designed to support a variety of operational needs, further enhancing existing functionality, easily incorporated in existing infrastructures and connecting major Hospitals with Health Centers located in remote areas with limited medical resources.
Telemedicine services are offered through the technological support of a state-of-the-art video conferencing technology, certified digital medical devices integrated with a customizable software platform intended to support the physician to deliver high quality healthcare services to patients regardless of their location. Every telemedicine unit either in a fixed-based telemedicine room or in a mobile backpack, delivers the same quality of service as a traditional doctor visit while enhancing the doctor-patient relationship even when the doctor and patient are in different locations.
The telemedicine session allows real time medical examination, monitoring and interaction with patients, as well as provides ability to address timely and efficiently patient problems. The results have been extremely positive, based on physician/patient feedback and the platform's related metrics. Furthermore, there have been notable improvements in key areas, such as effortless access to specialists, increasing patient satisfaction, improving clinical outcomes, reducing emergency room utilization, limiting unnecessary aerial transfers, all of which result in cost savings and upgraded patient services.

A lot of benefits and strong differentiation points against competition have been identified to come along with this PACS ‘As a Service' hosted implementation. The customer is no longer liable for any constructional/operational datacenter costs.
The pricing module, following the CLOUD main principles is consumption based - tied directly to the number of studies performed annually.
It is an inherently elastic solution as the number of users, client workstations and number of hooked up modalities are practically unlimited and with no extra cost for the customer.
It is a fully web-based solution, with no extra cost for new workstations, as nearly any existing PC of the hospital with an Internet connection is considered as a valid PACS workstation.
It's a centralized solution, as the remote Datacenter, can host different members of the same group of Hospitals - in a common instance - meaning that any medical study coming from any member Hospital will be automatically available to the rest of the members.
READ FROM ANYWHERE is a new standard which could lead to new flexible labor models (Teleradiology, instant access to high expertise medical personnel etc). Finally, Intracom Telecom as the Service provider owns the technology which ensures availability and security to the highest standards, while the customer remains to be focused on core business.
Intracom Telecom's HealthCare solutions apply to any health-related Institute or Organization:
