NHS Worcestershire Health Community: Unified Communications improves healthcare efficiency
Challenge
Rather than source products separately the Worcestershire Health Community wanted to have a single vendor responsible for its entire network
Solution
Against a unified communications vision BT is providing WAN, LAN and collaboration services reaching some 300 sites all around Worcestershire
Value
The fully scalable unified communications infrastructure is a foundation for more flexible working, enabling greater efficiency and improved patient care
Client
The Health Community in Worcestershire comprises more than 10,000 healthcare professionals across three NHS trusts – Worcestershire Primary Care Trust, Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, and Worcestershire Mental Health Partnership Trust – serving a population of more than half-a-million people.
A shared services organisation has been created to use new technology for more efficient and effective healthcare. John Thornbury, IT Director at Worcestershire Health Community, says: “We recognised that we needed to integrate our voice and data networks to create a robust infrastructure that would be flexible enough to support our evolving needs.”
