“Spok Go is redefining the standard of smart, efficient healthcare communications by reducing the complexity that has long plagued everyday clinical interactions,” said Vincent D. Kelly, president and chief executive officer of Spok Holdings, Inc. “We are pleased to expand the game-changing Spok Go platform into the Australian market with the ability to meet the specific compliance and workflow needs of these hospitals and healthcare systems.”
Spok has enhanced Spok Go with the following capabilities to address requirements unique to Australia:
- Compliance with local data residency and security regulations to protect patient information; this includes compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). In Australia, no hospital, operational, or patient data of any kind is transferred out of the country. All data, as well as the Spok Go platform and Amazon Web Services (AWS), operate strictly within the borders of Australia.
- Strong business continuity with AWS distributed across different locations to protect against loss of connectivity, power, and service-specific failure.
- Excellent user experience and message delivery speeds for all customers in a deployed region.
- Localised language support for Australian English, as well as appropriate date, time, and phone number formats.
