Virtua Health taps NEC for role-based communications development

NEC Unified Solutions has entered a large-scale unified communications deployment with Virtua Health, a multi-hospital healthcare system based in Marlton, N.J.

NEC will implement an internet protocol (IP) communications migration that includes all aspects of the NEC Univerge360 portfolio – from infrastructure and applications to services, ongoing support and monitoring, according to Virtua.

The Irving, Texas-based NEC said that Virtua plans, through advanced IP technology, to enable hospital staff and employees to connect quickly and reliably while leveraging unified communications and specialized healthcare applications to enhance productivity, using the Univerge360 communications model.
