Advanced Calls Fusion:
End-to-End Communication Solution for Healthcare

Project Overview

The Advanced Calls Fusion project was initiated to streamline hospital communication and reduce operational chaos, directly improving patient care and response times. Hospitals often faced issues with fragmented communication systems, where staff use multiple devices—such as pagers, smart phones, cisco phones, tablets etc —to interact with colleagues across different departments.

The Goal

Consolidate these tools into a single device and application, making it easier for staff to communicate effectively for both medical and administrative tasks.

The solution would allow hospitals to manage everything from urgent medical alerts to routine maintenance issues like air conditioning problems—all through one app, helping to ensure timely responses across the board.

Technical Details & Solutions

CanWill Athenaworks designed and developed Advanced Calls Fusion using cutting-edge technologies to create a robust, HIPAA-compliant platform that integrates voice calls, messaging, and notifications into a sleek, intuitive user interface (UI).

  • Frontend Technologies: ReactJS, Objective-C, Swift
  • Backend Technologies: C#, .NET, Microsoft SQL Server, and Asterisk for secure voice communication

Key Features:

  • Consolidated Communication: Staff can make voice calls, send messages, and receive alerts on a single device, reducing the need to juggle multiple systems.
  • Encrypted Communication: Voice calls and messages are fully encrypted to ensure compliance with healthcare standards, specifically staying within the hospital network and avoiding the use of non-HIPAA-compliant technologies like 5G and cloud services.

  • Custom Integrations: The system integrates seamlessly with existing hospital hardware, using de-identified Medical Record Numbers (MRNs) to maintain patient confidentiality while providing critical information.


Client & Industry Context

The client is a U.S.-based hospital group that faced key pain points around fragmented communication and delayed patient response times. Advanced Calls Fusion was designed to address these issues by reducing the reliance on multiple devices and creating a unified communication platform.

Given the healthcare industry’s stringent compliance standards, the project had to meet regulatory requirements, especially HIPAA. While the system handles patient communication and room-specific alerts, it does not touch Electronic Health Records (EHR), reducing risk and maintaining strict compliance. Instead, it relies on de-identified MRNs to ensure privacy.

Results and Impact

The implementation of Advanced Calls Fusion has had a dramatic impact on hospital operations, especially in reducing patient response times. In some cases, hospitals have reported up to a 3x reduction in response times after the solution was deployed.
 
  • Advanced Reporting: Hospital management now has access to detailed reports, allowing them to analyze communication metrics and identify areas for process improvement. This data-driven approach enables hospitals to take proactive measures in optimizing workflows.

 

  • Positive Feedback: The system has been praised for its user-friendly design and seamless integration into existing workflows, requiring minimal training for hospital staff
