8×8, Inc. (NASDAQ: EGHT), a leading business communications, CX, and CPaaS platform provider, today announced that CareMonitor has deployed 8×8 CPaaS to support critical patient interactions. The company integrated 8×8 Jitsi as a Service (JaaS) and 8×8 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 8×8, 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, 8×8 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 8×8 CPaaS include:
- Improved Patient Outcomes: The 8×8 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: 8×8’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 8×8 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.
