What PerfectServe Synchrony is:
®
™
Communication breakdown is the primary contributor to delays
in treatment. This is because status quo tools and technologies
fail to address the complexity inherent in today’s clinical
communication processes.
Synchrony n. \ˈsiŋ-krə-nē, ˈsin-\ A state in which
disparate elements move in harmony; things existing or
taking place at the same time; a smooth simultaneity.
In the past, contacting the right clinician was often a white-knuckle,
hope-for-the-best adventure, with success largely determined by
the accuracy and timeliness of the call list being used, and by
additional anecdotal information that may or may not be available.
But now, communication is a streamlined, reliable and efficient
process – one that unites all care team members and the
communication technologies they employ across all of the
organizations they work within, in a single, comprehensive solution:
PerfectServe Synchrony.
The communication and collaboration
platform uniting physicians, nurses and
other care team members – across
the continuum – and facilitating timely
interaction among them.

“Our clinicians are operating
in a world where one-off
communications applications
don’t work. We needed a
comprehensive solution that
could fold into our longterm vision for improving
communications among
clinicians while effectively
managing HIPAA-compliance
risk. PerfectServe not only
meets this need, but also
offers the ability to customize
capabilities to meet individual
workflow demands for our

HIPAA compliance is not about buying and installing a specific technology. It’s about assessing
the risks to your organization, developing and implementing a strategy to manage those risks,
and then monitoring your risk on an ongoing basis.
