CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--8x8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading business communications, CX, and CPaaS platform provider, today announced that CareMonitor has deployed 8x8 CPaaS to support critical patient interactions. The company integrated 8x8 Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) and 8x8 SMS API into its solution to support over five thousand unique patient interactions each day.
CareMonitor, an Australia-based cloud hospital-at-home care management solution connecting providers with patients to deliver person-centered, unified, efficient, and effective care, previously faced challenges managing multiple integrations and delivering critical healthcare notifications at scale. Further, they needed a customer engagement solution to better support critical health notifications and patient interactions.
With 8x8, CareMonitor has improved patient interactions by enabling timely health notifications that provide the option for the patient to start a 2-way conversation, all via SMS. Additionally, 8x8 JaaS ensures HIPAA-compliant, secure telehealth capabilities between healthcare providers and patients across multiple devices. Further, CareMonitor was able to drive cost optimizations, reducing total spend by 53% and allowing the organization to leverage these savings to accelerate further platform innovation. Additional benefits since integrating 8x8 CPaaS include:
- Improved Patient Outcomes: The 8x8 SMS API empowers CareMonitor to enable healthcare providers to send personalized real-time notifications and reminders at scale, 24/7/365, increasing adherence to care plans and leading to better patient outcomes.
- Scalability and Reliability: 8x8’s Communication APIs provide scalability and global reach, allowing CareMonitor to offer services without worrying about the infrastructure, especially as they scale.
- Out of the Box Functionality: Implementation for 8x8 JaaS took less than a week, without considerable overhead and the ability to deeply integrate directly into the platform securely using the Video SDK API.
- Readily Available Support: 24/7 access to support and responsive account management allows CareMonitor to innovate and support new initiatives.
