2021 Best In KLAS Video Conferencing Platforms

An immediate necessity during the pandemic, telehealth has become a common strategy for delivering convenient healthcare, connecting more quickly with specialists, working with interpreters, and more. As organizations settle into their go-forward strategies, top of mind are use-case expansion, tech-stack consolidation, and integration. There are many options for delivering telehealth, including virtual care platforms, video conferencing solutions (healthcare-focused and cross-industry), and EMR-based tools. This report focuses on market trends across the solution options and examines the factors driving purchase decisions and replacements.

Telehealth Performance 2022

07 July 22 | Ciera Walker and Schafer Jackson

At the onset of the pandemic, telehealth solutions became critical for healthcare organizations to maintain appointments, offer safe care, and increase patients’ access to care. Now, with many patients still wanting to use telehealth (see recently published report on the patient perspective ), provider organizations are at a crossroads as they evaluate telehealth’s value and long-term use, especially if the US government’s emergency telehealth use policy isn’t renewed past summer 2022. This report examines how well vendors facilitate a quality customer experience and what outcomes customers have achieved, particularly as they have overseen patients’ involvement with the technology (i.e., accommodating patients’ differing devices, connection bandwidths, and levels of digital literacy). Vendors are divided into two groups based on the type of technology they offer: virtual care platforms and video conferencing solutions.

The pandemic has emphasized the need for healthcare organizations to better accommodate patients’ needs and decrease barriers to effective care. However, patients are frequently absent from discussions around healthcare information technology (HIT). In KLAS’ previous report on the patient perspective , we discovered a lack of alignment between patients’ engagement technology priorities and those of provider organizations and vendors. Since then, KLAS has sought to gain a deeper understanding of what is needed from vendors and providers to drive greater alignment with patients. This report seeks to highlight the patient voice and is one of many KLAS initiatives aimed at more deeply understanding and measuring the patient perspective on HIT.

Pexip Health enables virtual telehealth visits with their platform. Since their founding 10 years ago, Pexip has gained traction in the healthcare community with their self-hosted, cloud-hosted, and hybrid cloud-deployment options. Pexip aims to replace videoconferencing systems by integrating with healthcare organizations’ existing technologies and workflows and not requiring patients to download software or plug-ins. This report is an early look at the Pexip solution’s performance and outcomes for healthcare customers.
