 Key Takeaways

  • Customer had to remove Whatsapp from the department
  • Requirement for a simple, easy to use, purpose-built solution
  • Customer self-onboarded the entire department in under 2 days
  • No Foxo intervention required

Customer Challenges

  • WhatsApp in use to share clinical information
  • Insecure information transfer
  • Photos and patient data stored on personal devices

Solution

The Cardiothoracic unit was advised to move off WhatsApp for departmental clinical communication. Other solutions were quickly ruled out due to usability issues, clinical messaging capabilities, and limitations with communication beyond the four walls of the hospital. 

A member of the department searched for an alternative, discovered Foxo online, and quickly signed up the team. Within 2 days, the entire department was onboarded and WhatsApp was abandoned. 

All members of the Cardiothoracic unit were operational, connected to their Organisation within Foxo, and communicating effectively without intervention from the Foxo customer team.
