Mitel eliminates the fragmentation, lag, and downtime that put patients at risk, with infrastructure that holds under pressure, workflows that accelerate the impact of clinical teams, and patient access that works the way patients expect.

Why now?

Three pressures are converging. Most hospitals are managing all of them at once.

Clinical staff are overwhelmed, legacy systems are carrying more and more risk, and patient access expectations have outpaced what most hospitals can currently offer. That's the operating reality for healthcare IT and operations leaders today.

66%

of healthcare IT leaders say their clinical staff are burdened by too many communication tools. The problem is not access to technology, but too much of the wrong kind.

68%

are prioritising emergency and critical care workflows, where communication failure has the most direct consequences for patients and staff.

66%

cite scalability and reliability as their top infrastructure concerns, meaning the systems running today may not hold up under tomorrow's demand.

There is no acceptable downtime. This is patient safety infrastructure, designed for the moments when it cannot fail.

Critical communications in clinical setting
Critical Comms

Communications that work the way clinical teams do.

Clinical staff shouldn't have to stop caring for patients to communicate about them. Mitel connects communication to EHR and clinical workflows so the information care teams need arrives before they have to search for it.

  • Instant patient context on every callSaves 43 seconds per interaction — 5 hours per administrator, per day.
  • Automated reminders, refills, and billing queriesFree clinical staff for complex patient needs.
  • AI patient trackingEliminates manual location searches at every handoff.

Why this matters

When communication is embedded in the clinical workflow, staff spend less time on the system and more time on the patient.

Care team coordination
Care Workflows

The first failure in patient care is often a call for help that didn't connect.

Patients who can reach you easily are patients who trust you. Mitel ensures every interaction works the way patients expect it to, from first call to follow-up.

  • Conversational AI for scheduling and confirmationHandles authentication and appointment confirmation with no hold queue.

Frequently asked

Your healthcare communication questions, answered.

What healthcare challenges does Mitel address?
We streamline patient, family, and staff communications across voice, video, and messaging — including faster routing to the right clinician, fewer bottlenecks in admissions and discharge, and better patient and resident experiences. The platform is built for 24/7 multi-site environments where downtime translates directly into clinical risk.
How does Mitel improve patient experience?
Through omnichannel contact center, self-service IVR, proactive notifications, and real-time analytics. Patients reach you on their preferred channel, get reminders before appointments, and connect to the right person the first time — with context preserved across channels.
What is Virtual Care Collaboration Service (VCCS)?
VCCS is a secure, WebRTC-based telehealth solution with no downloads required. It includes integrated scheduling for staff, rooms, and resources; encrypted video, audio, chat, and file-share; AI transcription and summaries; and optional device and EHR integrations.
Can Mitel support on-site, private cloud, and hybrid deployments?
Yes. We support on-premises, virtualized, private cloud, and hybrid models. You can modernize at your own pace while meeting data residency and sovereignty requirements — without forcing a full rip-and-replace.
How does Mitel help reduce no-shows and improve throughput?
Automated appointment booking, confirmations, and reminders — via voice, SMS, and chat — lower missed appointments and smooth daily schedules. Callbacks and self-service options cut wait times and queues.
What integrations are available for clinical workflows?
We integrate with nurse call systems, alarm and mass notification, mobility and DECT, and clinical IT including EMR and RIS/PACS. Open APIs and CloudLink make embedding communications into existing apps and portals straightforward.
What's the impact on staff productivity and burnout?
AI-assisted workflows remove repetitive steps, omnichannel triage reduces call hops, workforce optimization improves staffing and forecasting, and mobile tools keep clinicians connected wherever they're working — on the floor, in outpatient, or on call.
Can Mitel scale to large health systems?
Yes. We support deployments from small clinics to organizations with 100,000+ users, including multi-site and global rollouts with survivability for business continuity.
