Integrating voice, data, and paging technologies to enhance information services.
The University of California at San Francisco Medical Center has made a commitment to upgrade its information and telecommunications systems infrastructure. One of the several projects being undertaken by the Medical Center, the Intelligent Console Project, demonstrates how integrating different systems, databases and technologies can improve the quality and accessibility of information, while reducing costs and stream-lining administrative activities. The Intelligent Console acts as an interface mechanism for the several constituent systems and data-bases of the Medical Center and provides a single, front-end control console by which operators can support communications using standardized procedures. Much paperwork has been eliminated and operator training and scheduling streamlined. Equipment consolidation has also freed up space at the Medical Center.
