Internal Communications For Distributed Medical Teams

OrthoTennessee is a leading US orthopaedic surgery practice, treating musculoskeletal system injuries and problems. It brings together the best orthopaedic physicians to provide patients state of the art orthopaedic care.

In addition to improving patient health, OrthoTennessee wanted to improve their own company health.

OrthoTennessee needed a platform which would get employee attention, and provide the tools to continually improve their messages for greater effectiveness. Hear from Karen Clark how they achieved this.
