Maximizing Productivity With MEFTiiCOMM's Advanced Services
An essential and indispensable part of productivity is effective communication. Being able to reach, coordinate, and communicate with doctors and other healthcare staff efficiently makes the delivery of healthcare services a lot smoother for everyone involved from nurses to patients and medical technicians to hospital administrators..
Conventional communication networks in hospitals rely on multiple channels like the PA system, secretaries, answering services, work phones, paging services, third-party texting apps, etc. While these are meant to support communication across healthcare facilities, it often makes the process time-consuming and unreliable because there are so many moving parts to consider.
MEFTii Communication makes communication in healthcare settings a breeze by integrating several technologies and features into one reliable and easy-to-use solution. This makes reaching and communicating with medical professionals easier while eliminating lengthy processes.
Let’s explore how it can help you and your healthcare facility.
MEFTii Communication Streamlines Communication
1. MEFTii Communication Streamlines Communication
MEFTii Communication consolidates several communication channels that the healthcare community uses. You can send texts, mass messages, multimedia messages, and voice messages from one platform that can be accessed through the web, iOS, and Android devices. You can even conduct video and audio calls between patients, doctors, and peers regardless of whether they’re from the same healthcare institution or come from different medical facilities.
Users can reference past conversations so they can keep track of previous exchanges or enable automatic message deletion. Additionally, there is a feature for in-app photo and video capture.
This innovative app is designed for seamless communication among healthcare providers and between providers and their patients. Providers can securely communicate with their patients by using its NON-APP USER tool.
The platform can be used from the office, healthcare facility, or from medical professionals’ homes.
MEFTii Communication is easy to use and intuitive so medical professionals can quickly start using it to benefit their practices. Doctors no longer have to learn how to use different tools to be effective in their jobs. All these features enable professionals to easily practice telemedicine if they so wish and share medical information with each other. Ultimately, MEFTii Communication improves the speed and quality of patient care.
2. Saves Time
MEFTii Communication reduces the risk of miscommunication and delays as healthcare providers can access a patient’s information and have multiple tools at their disposal. This makes the process smoother and more effective.
Healthcare providers no longer have to waste time engaging in different processes to provide the necessary care to their patients. It provides them with direct access to colleagues so they can provide care to their patients faster and more efficiently.
The pager service also enables healthcare providers to receive urgent messages regarding emergency cases, and with the ability to initiate chat, or audio/video call directly from received pager, you can streamline communication and improve patient care.
3. Makes Scheduling More Efficient
MEFTii Communication streamlines the scheduling process in the healthcare industry by eliminating the need for middlemen. Contrast the conventional way of one physician reaching out to another doctor and how MEFTii Communication makes the process a lot easier.
If an emergency room (ER) doctor needs to consult a cardiologist to discuss an emergency case, he will first have to identify a doctor ONCALL before asking the ER secretary to reach out to the specialist. The secretary will call the cardiologist’s answering service then the service will page the cardiologist. When the cardiologist receives the message, the cardiologist will call the ER secretary who will transfer the call so that the ER doctor can speak to a colleague. But that’s only if the ER doctor is at his desk. If the ER doctor isn’t available, the cardiologist hangs up and the entire process starts over. This lengthy process can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes.
With MEFTiiCOMM’s automated ONCALL and audio/ video call service, the cardiologist can be reached directly in seconds to provide emergency life-saving treatment.
Hospitals use scheduling software to arrange shifts across departments. MEFTii Communication eliminates this tool by providing the same functionality in its app with additional improvements. Doctors can easily find a list of who is ONCALL in each department, their own shift schedule, and the schedule of their departments. This lets them know who to contact and provides them with one centralized tool where they can reach out to colleagues directly.
Ultimately, hospitals can reduce their reliance on secretaries, answering services, and third-party tools like scheduling software, and apps limited to texting only while making the delivery of patient care more efficient and timely.
4. Enhances Collaboration
The medical field requires a lot of collaboration. Within a hospital, orders for tests and their results have to be communicated across departments and teams. If further medical recommendations are necessary, doctors must consult their peers for the treatment of certain cases.
With MEFTiiCOMM, this process becomes a lot easier since they can send messages and images to other consultants, even if they’re from different healthcare facilities.
They can also expand their network with MEFTiiCOMM’s search function. This allows users to search for colleagues across various facilities by name, organization, city, state, and more. If they want to contact someone from their peer search, they can use the pager, chat, audio/video calling features directly from the search results.
In cases where patient information and test results need to be shared, the app allows you to attach separate audio, video, and other files so they can be shared with individuals or an entire group. This means that documents like EKG results, imaging studies, and lab results can be shared in real-time.
By using the software, collaboration has never been easier.
5. Reduces Operating Costs
How much are the various tools your hospital uses for communication costing you?
Pagers, work phones, answering services, and text messages`— consider the expenses and personnel involved in maintaining all these systems.
With MEFTiiCOMM, you can consolidate all these different channels into one easy-to-use system. You only pay to use one service that is centralized, more feature-rich, and easier to learn instead of several tools that don’t deliver the efficiency, collaboration, and functionalities you need

Plus, it’s also HIPAA-compliant and secure which can’t be said about the other independent systems that are being used by most hospitals these days.
