Introduction
This healthcare company was established as a collaboration of two medical practices to form one comprehensive all-inclusive practice and currently serves patients through multiple locations across New York.
The Challenge
The health center maintained confidential patient information, resulting in the need for a reliable communication solution that was HIPAA compliant.
The center was also experiencing slow internet speeds, which were subject to power outages. They had no mobile option and were paying extremely high prices for minimal service.
In the pursuit of a replacement, the Director of Information Technology chose SmartChoice to meet all of his company’s requirements.
The Smart Solution
Before switching to a cloud-based communication solution, the staff had several issues with its traditional phone system and relied on various third-party services to maintain it. Working with numerous vendors was time-consuming and troublesome.
The new communication system effectively protects sensitive patient information making it HIPAA compliant.
SmartChoice provided a robust solution that has the ability to be managed remotely. Utilizing our analytics, they were able to gain a deeper understanding of their productivity levels and overall business dynamic.

SmartChoice provided the staff with a communication system that did not require extensive training and could be maintained internally. It granted its employees more time to work on other, more crucial projects.
Being professionals in the medical field, the healthcare company knew that SmartChoice was the best choice.
