FirstClass for Healthcare - The right prescription for effective communications in healthcare.
Healthcare organizations are facing increasing challenges in providing effective communication and collaboration among health professionals – including physicians, nurses, and administration – within their communities.
In addition, regulatory requirements set forth for the protection of patient privacy, including HIPAA, PHIPA, and others, have caused healthcare providers to re-evaluate the way they manage, distribute, and provide access to identifiable health information.
FirstClass provides a proven communication and collaboration platform that is ideally suited to healthcare organizations. Below are just a few of the benefits and capabilities FirstClass can offer.

Enable Online Collaboration Across the Organization
The nature of healthcare requires organizations to interact with many stakeholders, both internal and external, on a regular basis. This interaction creates a unique communication challenge for hospitals trying to manage timely and effective communications between hospital administration, staff, board members, physicians offices, etc. FirstClass solves this issue by enabling healthcare organizations to create collaborative online communities, accessible to all stakeholders regardless of their physical location, where users can share content, access policy information, check and update schedules, collaborate on projects, and more.
Support Adherence to Patient Privacy Regulations
Many healthcare organizations have multiple staff members sharing the same computer (ie. nursing staff). With FirstClass, all user data resides on the server, not on individual machines, enabling multiple users to access FirstClass from the same computer with their own unique ID and password. Since no shared computers have any patient data residing on them, the healthcare organization can provide staff with easy access to data without having to be concerned with patient information getting into the wrong hands.
Connect Distributed or Remote Employees
FirstClass provides simple, fast, and secure access to all applications and all data from anywhere an internet connection is available (no VPN required), enabling healthcare organizations to easily bring contract or home-office workers into the online community.
Cost-effective and Easy to Manage
FirstClass is a highly cost-effective solution for lean budgets as it can typically be deployed in large organizations for 1/5 to 1/10 the cost of standard business groupware solutions that provide significantly less functionality. Additionally, FirstClass requires minimal IT support and training.
