NHS Lothian expands video collaboration to improve health services across South East Scotland
NHS Lothian and Polycom have created a highly collaborative working environment using video to connect geographically dispersed clinicians, provide remote access to specialized medical centres, conduct remote physiotherapy classes, and provide training and support for staff. Using video to conference face-to-face over long distances, rather than having to be there in person, benefits staff with improved efficiency, benefits patients with greater convenience, and benefits the health board as a whole with substantial cost savings.
