Telemedicine

Back to Healthcare

Patients today expect the best healthcare from their doctors. Sometimes, however, the best practitioner for the problem resides halfway across the country. Thanks to voice and collaboration services from Sprint, healthcare providers can quickly collaborate to deliver the best care possible.

Telemedicine—remote consultations, teleradiology, home telehealth, distance learning—represents an exciting new opportunity for providing high-quality healthcare. Sprint voice and data products support your telemedicine efforts through:

• Audio and video conferencing
• Web conferencing for distance learning and collaboration
• Wireline and wireless transport to carry data and connect sites
• Security products to lock down access and data to ensure compliance with your HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) security plans

Conferencing and collaboration services

Sprint supports telemedicine initiatives with innovative video conferencing solutions such as ISDN and IP network transport, onsite equipment, and conference management.

Our range of conferencing tools, including Sprint Personal Conferencing(SM) and web conferencing, lets you collaborate with geographically dispersed colleagues right from your desktop. Utilized individually or as part of an integrated solution, these Sprint tools facilitate remote consultation and reduce the costs of continuing medical education.

With Sprint Conferencing and Collaboration Services, you can:

• Leverage the flexibility and scalability of fully-managed IP telephony communications
• Reduce infrastructure and administrative costs
• Deploy an infrastructure that enables/supports evolving technology

Voice services

Sprint Personal Conferencing capabilities allow spontaneous conference calls with specialists, colleagues, and key clinical staff.

And when it comes to connecting with patients, our Contact Center solutions keep the lines of communication open, with enhanced call routing services that ensure the right calls find the right people—across all remote offices.

With Sprint Voice Services, you can:

• Reduce costs, support remote connectivity, and increase efficiencies through affordable, flexible IP telephony solutions
• Provide hospital-wide, cost-effective local, long distance, and remote calling solutions
• Speed patient care by routing calls efficiently

Secure access

In healthcare, protecting patient privacy represents a vital concern. Single-factor and double-factor authentication, digital certificates, intrusion detection, email protection, and biometrics—Sprint security solutions can help address, complement and supplement your HIPAA security efforts. Sprint will help you implement your security plans by locking down access to the data as specified by your HIPAA data security policies.
