comes to cardiac arrest and emergency response. We have
significantly reduced time to response, and this of course means
better patient care.”
“We also send instant messaging from our help desk system direct
to the portering team’s Ascom phones without any manual
intervention ....Our Ascom phones help bring it all together.”
“Our wireless solution is helping us meet today’s demands, but it is
also a solution to build on, helping us prepare for the healthcare
