Reducing off-air time for critical healthcare connectivity.
St John of God Health Care deployed a nimbus resumption service to establish robust and automated call forwarding measures for business continuity; mitigated risks associated with off-air time and ensured connection with their community during planned and unplanned network outages.
Challenge
- Develop a strategy to guarantee uninterrupted voice and data communication.
- Establish protocols for immediate communication during emergencies and planned outages, ensuring swift response and coordination.
- Implement redundant systems to minimise downtime and enhance the network’s overall resilience.
- Train staff at all levels to handle communication systems during disruptions and raise awareness about business continuity.
Solution
- A cloud-based, easily accessible solution
- Pre-defined plans were built according to the different scenarios where call-forwarding would be required
- Utilisation of nimbus Professional Services help to guide the organisation through transition and build best-practice plans
- After a successful pilot phase rollout, increased to 58 numbers across 17 sites
Results
- Staff members were well-prepared to handle communication systems during emergencies, contributing to swift and coordinated responses.
- The organisation experienced minimal disruption, ensuring continuous patient care and operational efficiency, and significantly saved time for critical operational teams.
- Staff members were well-prepared to handle communication systems during emergencies, contributing to swift and coordinated responses.
