Within the information systems arena, we provide effective network solutions, linking multiple providers, payors, patients and strategic suppliers. By developing cooperative relationships with vendors who market systems that permit data sharing, we're able to optimize the telecommunications portion of IS solutions for our customers. Here is how:

By providing telecommunications networks that bring new levels of connectivity to community, regional and state-sized healthcare networks. Hospitals are electronically connected with their physicians. Labs and clinics are natural communications partners with hospitals.

By offering cost-efficient telemedicine which brings healthcare services to remote areas.

By providing physicians with Internet access, e-mail and other on-line activities.

By serving nurses at small community hospitals with video conferencing and other tools for continuing education and training.

In short, BellSouth is the single most important source for all of your information and connectivity needs.
