Connecting Experts for Child Healthcare

Company: Great Ormond Street Hospital

Industry: Healthcare

Location: London, United Kingdom

Company Size: 3,500 Employees


Challenge

GOSH offers high-quality pediatric care to children from across the United Kingdom and abroad. The organization wanted to enhance care for both remote and local patients by improving collaboration between health experts globally. It also wanted to reduce travel for patients by offering virtual consultations.

Solution

Collaboration solutions deployed by GOSH include Cisco TelePresence and Cisco Jabber. These solutions are run on a reliable backbone of Cisco network infrastructure.

Outcomes

Using Cisco TelePresence, GOSH can now offer consultations or follow-ups with patients outside of the hospital. Cisco solutions have also made it easier for doctors to share information and treatment options with specialists and researchers around the world. Critical information is delivered on a network with nearly 100 percent availability.

With faster access to care, we can reduce time spent in hospital and free beds for more patients.
