The Ascom Healthcare Platform

Built around three core pillars—Integrate, Orchestrate and Enable—the Ascom Healthcare Platform is unique: the only truly comprehensive, end-to-end communication and collaboration platform for long-term and acute care. For fifty years we’ve been pioneering healthcare communications. The Ascom Healthcare Platform builds on this bedrock. 

Enhancing clinical communication and collaboration

Technologies and communication systems that are not integrated are a costly burden on strained healthcare resources. But the Ascom Healthcare Platform is showing a way forward. It combines products, services and insights into how modern healthcare really works. Unlike so many healthcare IT programs, it’s not just a plan or an aspiration but a solution that’s already hard at work in hospitals worldwide.

Integrate

  • Bring together siloed data and systems, and make them accessible to staff- wherever they are.
  • Connect bedside devices, nurse call, EMRs and wearables to enable truly mobile clinical workflows.
  • Transform traditional nurse call systems into Patient Response Systems—to give patients and long-term care residents a strong, reliable voice.

 

Orchestrate

  • Filters and manages alerts and task notifications.
  • Provide the right clinical information to carers at the right time.
  • Optimise response with prioritised alerts redirection and automated escalation.
