Case Study Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology - OneScreen
Rawalpindi Institute of Cardiology (RIC)is a state of the art cardiac hospital in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, working to create awareness, enhance research opportunities, and provide affordable clinical care without compromising on quality. The doctors, nurses, and staff members of RIC assist patients and their family members regarding treatments, risk factors, and the necessary lifestyle changes revolving around heart disease. Employees of RIC are required to work quickly with crucial data, while attending to the sensitive nature of their patients’ situation, and they need to rely on advanced technological tools that facilitate their work efficiently.
Challenge
Day-to-day work: The nature of the RIC’s patient-facing teams’ day-to-day work involves a regular exchange of patients’ private information, sharing and monitoring of data, and the need for secure consultations with and amongst doctors.
- Doctors and nurses needed to securely exchange and annotate data as well as monitor patients’ vitals with other staff members, in real time.
- Their current technology tools have prevented the team members from working together, between medical offices resulting in negative impact on patient services.
- The RIC teams were not ready for migration to a completely new product which meant they also required a solution that was interoperable with existing platforms and installed systems.
The patient-facing teams needed a visual collaboration tool that would facilitate easy, secure communication and remote team work, while enhancing the efficacy of their interaction with patients.
Professional development: The RIC invests heavily in high quality, professional development of their physicians and nurses. The RIC’s HR team required a video collaboration tool that could support remote attendance of live, surgical training and medical education events for their valuable, professional employees.
Global standards: In an effort to grow as the reputable health care institute it is already known as, that adheres to internationalized standards, the RIC was looking for a technologically advanced solution delivered by a product partner committed to the best technical and customer support possible.
