We have tried and tested phone systems for doctor surgeries and the main one we recommend is Horizon.
Horizon is a hosted phone system, developed by Gamma who is a leading supplier of voice, data, mobile and cloud products in the UK. Gamma constantly develop their products to ensure they run smoothly and in line with technology needs. They are now one of the UK’s largest network operators and they have never lost their ability to respond quickly to any queries or issues.
Why Horizon?
One of the biggest challenges for healthcare practitioners such as doctor surgeries is to deliver the best possible patient care whilst efficiently running their surgery. Horizon phone system enables you to provide seamless communication with your patients and staff whilst giving you access to fundamental systems.
Since Gamma is an EMIS Health Accredited Partner, Horizon seamlessly integrates with EMIS CRM system which means you have one central platform for you to store, record and access all patient communication and provide better, more efficient patient care.
