miSecureMessages™ Adds Enhanced Reporting Capabilities


AMTELCO's miSecureMessages Secure Smartphone Paging and Two-Way Messaging App Adds Reporting to Help Provide Organizations with Accurate and In-Depth Records

McFarland, WI (PRWEB) November 22, 2011

miSecureMessages™ sends encrypted messages to smartphones and mobile devices, and allows for secure two-way communications, making it vital for maintaining Protected Health Information (PHI). miSecureMessages saves critical time for clinicians and patients, helping organizations ensure they meet HIPAA and HITECH regulations, while also providing better patient care. miSecureMessages is ideal for replacing pagers, with apps available for Android™ mobile devices, BlackBerry®, iPad®, iPhone®, and iPod Touch® to provide secure, two-way messaging.
miSecureMessages keeps track of each message sent, including messages sent from operators, as well as messages sent from device to device. The complete audit trail included with miSecureMessages shows the message, when it was sent, when the message was read, what the reply was, and when the reply was sent. This information gives healthcare organizations complete and detailed records for maintaining historical accuracy. The miSecureMessages Reports are accessible only by an Administrator, and can be exported to Microsoft® Excel® or to Adobe® PDF formats.
AMTELCO President Tom Curtin said, “Keeping detailed records is a necessity for any healthcare organization. miSecureMessages helps clinicians communicate more efficiently, and also ensures that healthcare organizations have the vital audit trails they need to protect their clinicians and their healthcare organizations.”

What People Are Asking...
 
Question: In IS, when a call is first answered by an agent, instead of the account loading in "Take Message" mode, I would like my Ops to see the Checkin page.

Answer: Open in IS Supervisor on the account you are working with. On the left most menu tree, select "Agent Settings", then in the middle menu tree select "Startup Actions". Take off the "Take Message" action.

Also, if your meaning the per Account DSP jobs menu, then in Infinity Supervisor go to that account, under the IS Options page uncheck "Checkin".

Don Meisel
Production Manager and Superintendent
of Building and Grounds
  
Don MeiselDon Meisel graduated from high school just as the economic malaise of the late 1970s was sinking into the recession of the early 1980s. Meaningful employment was in short supply, and Don went through a string of general labor jobs, including a
stint at a car wash that kept him outdoors as the
thermometer lingered below freezing for 58 days
straight.

Don had all but decided to join the Navy and train as a welder when his brother-in-law Al Hitchcock, a technician in AMTELCO's field service department, suggested that Don should put in a job application. The US Navy's loss proved to be AMTELCO's gain.

Marian Kress hired Don in 1983 in the Production Department and put him to work placing resistors and capacitors on FLC (First Level Concentrator) cards. During his first week on the job, AMTELCO surveyed its employees on how they perceived their futures with the company. Don didn't hesitate in answering that he hoped to rise to a management position in the Production Department.

Don took his first step toward fulfilling his ambition in 1987, when Greg Beale moved up from his job as shipping and receiving supervisor to head up the Materials Management Department. Don was named shipping supervisor, and soon added the duties of superintendent of building and grounds.

Don achieved his goal in 1990, when he was named manager of the Production Department, and at the year's end was named the Employee of the Year for the Operations division. Don continued to grow as a manager and took on additional responsibility when the Final Assembly and Test Department was merged into the Production Department. He responded in his usual manner and was awarded AMTELCO's prestigious William J. Curtin Employee of the Year Award in 1999.

Most recently, as superintendent of buildings and grounds, Don has been busy implementing the conversion of unused rooms and floor space in the Production Department into a world-class data center to house AMTELCO's miCloud applications.

Infinity Has the Features You Need:
Client Rotate, Op Time Clock, Web Portal and more!

The Client Rotate feature allows calls to be rotated 1 by 1 to subaccounts in order. This gives an option to play a second greeting from the sub account while keeping track of the number of calls a main account has received.

For example, Real-estate Company use it for callers looking for realtors- first call goes to Bob, second calls go to Rick, and so on.

Operator Time Clock functions within MDR (Message Detailed Reporter), and allows call centers to increase operator efficiency and reward job performance, save time and money on payroll processing, and simplify remote operator management.

Web Portal is a suite of applications that provide a browser based interface to any of the AMTELCO system databases from one location. Each application can be run independently of the others. Information can be printed or e-mailed in a user-friendly HTML format.   

Find out more about Infinity features

IS Web Scripting allows operators an easy, flawless way to enter critical information step-by-step while taking a call.


The optional IS Web Scripting feature provides the licensing and software support to present Intelligent Series call scripts in Web browsers, bringing your clients messaging features that previously required operator involvement.
