Overview

This IDC Insights report explores how traditional and mobile unified communications (UC) will drive many process improvements in healthcare, most notably, improving patient safety and patient outcomes while reducing costs through productivity and efficiency gains. "Although healthcare providers are relatively early in the UC and mobile UC adoption cycle," states Lynne A. Dunbrack, program director, IDC Health Insights, "a confluence of factors, including an evolving reimbursement model that underscores the need for connectivity, better communication among care teams, and collaborative care, will lead to greater investment in mobile UC technologies by healthcare providers over the next 18 to 24 months."
