How NHS Grampian Employs Mitel Performance Analytics to Ensure Critical Healthcare

In today's fast-paced healthcare environment, uninterrupted communication and reliable IT systems are essential to delivering high-quality patient care. At NHS Grampian, a leading healthcare provider in Scotland, maintaining consistent service performance for frontline healthcare workers was a daily challenge. To address this and ensure that their IT systems were always operational, NHS Grampian turned to Mitel Performance Analytics (MPA) to gain deep insights into their IT infrastructure and proactively resolve potential and ongoing issues.

The Challenge: Maintaining Reliability in a Healthcare Environment

NHS Grampian's healthcare professionals rely heavily on efficient communication systems to deliver critical services across hospitals, clinics, and community settings. Any disruption or downtime in their IT and communication networks could seriously impact patient care quality. However, maintaining these systems' performance and uptime was increasingly challenging due to the complexity and scale of the IT infrastructure, which includes a variety of Unified Communications (UC) solutions.

The IT team at NHS Grampian recognized that they needed a solution to monitor their systems more effectively. This would enable them to detect and address issues before escalating into more significant problems. Traditional reactive approaches to IT management were no longer sufficient in such a demanding environment where every second counts.

The Solution: Mitel Performance Analytics

By implementing MPA, NHS Grampian gained a powerful tool to enhance its IT management capabilities. MPA is a comprehensive monitoring and analytics solution designed to provide real-time insights into the performance of UC systems. For NHS Grampian, this meant being able to monitor their UC infrastructure from a single dashboard, providing them with a clear and immediate view of any potential issues.

With MPA, NHS Grampian's IT team could proactively monitor system performance, receive instant alerts when issues are detected, and swiftly resolve them before they impact patient care. This shift from a reactive to a proactive approach allowed the IT team to avoid problems, ensuring their communication systems remained reliable and operational.

The Impact: Enhanced System Uptime and User Experience

Implementing MPA at NHS Grampian significantly improved system uptime and user experience. By detecting and resolving issues early, the IT team could ensure that healthcare workers had uninterrupted access to the necessary communication tools. This was particularly crucial during the COVID-19 pandemic when the demand for reliable communication systems was higher than ever.

Moreover, the detailed analytics provided by MPA allowed NHS Grampian to optimize its IT operations, identify patterns in system performance, and make informed decisions about future upgrades and maintenance. The result was a more resilient UC infrastructure that could better support the critical work being done by frontline healthcare workers.
