We Engage Patients and Families, Empower
Clinicians and Deliver Outcomes that Matter

With the generous contribution of Cisco TelePresence technologies, and the professional integration of this complex platform and network by FlexITy Solutions, we not only receive high-quality video to facilitate face-to face communication, but also an integrated solution that ensures a reliable, consistent experience for all users.

The future of healthcare is changing and our vision for the new Sault Area Hospital was to lead that change. With tremendous support from the government and our technology partners, we are delighted to have built this leading edge facility for Northern Ontario. The expertise of our partners has allowed us to build future-proof networking technology from the blueprint level, helping us to deliver new and innovative services to our patients, clinical staff and community.

Woodstock Hospital is committed to its vision of providing first-class health care to our community. To fulfill our mandate, we need to be a leader in innovative, high-quality services and keep a pulse on the latest healthcare tools and technology. The Cisco Medical-Grade Network offers the infrastructure we need to provide our staff with the equipment and information they need to facilitate patient care and deliver the best health services possible.

This exciting announcement is a key step forward on our ‘smart’ hospital vision and ensuring we’re providing our community with exceptional health care that makes a significant difference. Patient-centred technology helps health care providers create a seamless care experience, all the while supporting recovery and education right at the bedside.

One of the biggest opportunities with this technology solution is the level of control and independence we can give directly to patients. The ‘smart’ pathways and intelligence we’re building into this technology will unlock a world of choice for all patients and families.

Medication education is an important component in helping patients, family members and caregivers understand and comply with their healing process, particularly for our senior population. Our patients tell us that Interactive Patient Care has been beneficial toward their understanding of new medications, potential side effects and how to maintain proper usage post discharge.
