Cisco Collaborative Care-Language Interpretation Service (LIS) is an integrated system of voice, video, and data communications provisioned over public and private networks that provides a multi-media-based collaborative environment between healthcare providers and patients and their families.
Cisco Collaborative Care enables healthcare organizations to provide real-time, multi-media language interpretation to an increasingly diverse patient population. Cisco Collaborative Care leverages Cisco's Unified Communication architecture along with Cisco Medical-Grade Network architecture to provide intelligent, skill-based routing of voice and video calls. Hence Cisco Collaborative Care helps healthcare organizations eliminate time, distance, and language barriers to effective clinician-clinician and clinician-patient interactive communication. Cisco Collaborative Care provides a foundation that can be enhanced to provide other services in addition to LIS, however this document focuses on the use of Cisco Collaborative Care for LIS.
