Regular HealthBlog readers know that I am a big fan of unified communications technology and how it can be used in healthcare to improve clinical workflow, caregiver collaboration, patient safety, care quality, and satisfaction. The technology has continued to mature since I first started sharing ideas on how it can be used in health, and today many hospitals, clinics, home care agencies, and other kinds of organizations are applying it in their enterprises.
On April 2nd, I will participate in a special web cast featuring research conducted by IDC on unified communications in healthcare. During the program, IDC Program Director, Marc Holland, and I will discuss: 
- Factors driving growth in demand for unified communications among healthcare provider organizations
- Current applications of unified communications by healthcare provider organizations
- The unified communications features and functions important to healthcare providers
- The future outlook for unified communications technology adoption by healthcare providers
