Clinical communication and collaboration (CC&C) systems are mobile platforms that clinicians, care teams, patients and caregivers use to collaborate on treatment and care activity within ambulatory, acute, post-acute and virtual care settings. CC&C systems improve situational awareness surrounding the patient and information sharing at the point of care and during care transitions. CC&C systems represent the convergence of conventional inpatient communications, such as telephony and paging, with modern channels enabled by mobility, interoperability and the Internet of Things (IoT).
