As shown in the above deployment scenario, one of the key advantages of Yeastar’s solutions is the ability to mix and match older telephony infrastructure with cutting-edge technologies such as SIP trunks, SIP/IP phones, softphone clients, and mobile apps. This hybrid approach provides healthcare institutions with the flexibility to upgrade their communications systems at their own pace, minimizing the disruption to daily operations. By allowing for a gradual migration to newer technologies, Yeastar helps institutions spread the cost of upgrading over a longer period, ensuring that budgetary constraints do not stand in the way of modernization.

At the same time, the P-Series IP PBX allows healthcare institutions to enhance patient and employee experiences by providing advanced telephony features like priority queues, queued callback, hot-desking, paging, and omnichannel messaging. It also supports compatibility with customer resource management (CRM) systems and electronic health record (EHR) platforms, and it offers APIs for custom integrations with third-party software, creating a more efficient and complete communications system for virtually any healthcare setting.
