Intermedia Healthcare Solutions is designed for the diverse needs of healthcare organizations of all sizes. Over 150,000 workers in the healthcare space alone currently utilize Intermedia's cloud communications, collaboration, productivity, and customer care solutions, with customers ranging from the second-largest healthcare municipality in the U.S., to one of the largest hospital networks on the U.S. east coast, to individual healthcare provider practices. Intermedia's unified platform addresses critical priorities including patient access to care, better patient outcomes, cost reduction, revenue growth, facilitation of HIPAA compliance, reliability, ease of use, security, and flexible access.

Key features of Intermedia Healthcare Solutions include:

• Streamlined Inbound Patient Communications: Seamlessly supports multichannel communication (phone, email, text) and utilizes EHR data for intelligent call routing, ensuring swift interactions and easy access to providers, staff, or self-service options.
• Efficient Handling of Patient Calls: Integrates voice calls with EHR for quick patient verification and record retrieval, enhancing staff productivity and response times.
