The United Regional Health Care System in North Texas is reportedly deploying Cisco (News - Alert) IP Contact Center and Call Manager to improve its communications.

 

The project, which is being carried out by systems integrator INX, involves upgrading United Regional’s legacy TDM phone system to VoIP and also its wireless infrastructure. Once completed, the new network will allow United Regional to provide better patient care through call center applications and improved communication. The new system is scheduled for completion in early 2010.

According to a press release, the project, which was started in 2008, involves three sites, including a new install at the New Bridwell tower, completed in August.

“INX’s (News - Alert) proven expertise in the area of technology healthcare solutions is important to why we forged a strong partnership that will allow us to leverage advanced technology to meet critical business objectives,” said Jerry Marshall, director of information services and telecommunications for United Regional, in the release. “INX delivered on their promise to deploy advanced technologies that will enable strategic business benefits for United Regional and allow us to better serve our customers and provide excellent medical service to our patients.”
