Mayotte Hospital Centre

Mayotte Hospital modernises its infrastructure to ensure continuity of communications, essential to continuity of care

  • Country: France
  • Industry: Healthcare, Digital health
  • Solution: Customer Service, Connected Solutions and Devices, Digital Dividends

The Mayotte Hospital is located on the island of Mayotte, in the southwestern part of the Indian Ocean. It is the only hospital in the region, and is comprised of a unique network of 15 sites that cover inpatient and outpatient care needs for the whole territory. It is also the largest maternity hospital in Europe with almost 10,000 births per year.

The hospital was experiencing challenges guaranteeing telephone capabilities between sites. A competing DECT solution was unable to fully address the hospital's needs, in terms of robustness and coverage, to ensure reliable and comprehensive staff mobility. The ability to deploy a stable and modern telephone system to ensure service continuity became critical.

Challenges

  • The IS department needed support for the telephone services to adapt the infrastructure in line with changing needs.
  • The hospital reception was having to cope with an increasing number of calls for internal and external transfers towards hospital departments.
  • They required a solution that would provide voice and video conferencing to facilitate the coordination of internal and remote health workers (with employees working from home or at remote sites).

Action

Business Partner Amaris' dedicated accompaniment in terms of assistance, optimizing the system configuration, and extremely responsive support has greatly improved the telephone service quality. The hospital replaced the DECT infrastructure with a voice-over-WLAN solution for all staff (administrative/IT/medical) and invested in a Visual Automated Attendant to facilitate the flow of incoming internal and external calls.
