Winthrop-University Hospital: Smartphone Messaging and Web-Based On-Call Scheduling

We’re pleased that our customer Winthrop-University Hospital is implementing Amcom solutions for smartphone messaging and Web-based on-call scheduling in its 591-bed facility in Long Island, N.Y. The forward-looking hospital will use the Amcom applications to enable highly mobile caregivers to better communicate, elevating patient care and safety.

Winthrop will use the Amcom Mobile Connect smartphone messaging solution to send critical messages to caregivers on their BlackBerry and iPhone smartphones, which will be used to acknowledge the inquiry. The hospital plans to implement the solution on 100 phones in 2011, with plans to add up to 1,000 more phones in 2012.

The Amcom Web-based on-call scheduling solution, WebXchange, will serve several purposes at Winthrop. Staff will be able to update on-call schedules at any time to reflect even last-minute calendar changes. This Web portal can also be used to send critical messages to smartphones as well as other communication tools at Winthrop, including pagers, desk phones, and email applications.
