Background:

VA VISN 9 is a long-standing customer of Cleo Communications, utilizing the Cleo Streem Secure Network Fax and Messaging Solution. As a strategic business partner of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Cleo Communications provides the latest in communications technology to provide a high value solution and state of the art communications capabilities. These capabilities provide substantial improvements in automating mission-critical workflows, leading to improved customer service, higher quality workflow, and greater employee satisfaction.

The Cleo Streem solution provides secure network fax capabilities and electronic faxing to automate workflow and provides security of fax information for regulatory compliance. As a standard solution at many VA facilities, the Cleo Streem Communications Server can be seamlessly integrated with Multi-Function Devices as an alternative to analog faxing. This feature eliminates the need for analog phone lines and modems in the devices. The Cleo Streem solution provides the ability to securely fax documents directly from and to the desktop, eliminating paper and consumables and greatly improving VISN 9 productivity using this mission-critical solution.

In addition to the secure faxing capabilities listed above, the Streem solution also provides comprehensive messaging capabilities to send phone, fax, email and text messages as well. These additional capabilities are used extensively at various VA Medical Center customers for many purposes, including automated appointment reminder calls, automated patient survey calls, automated event notification calls, Women s Health event notifications, Immunization Event

reminder calls and many more.

VA VISN 9 has utilized a customized, secure network fax and messaging solution from Cleo Streem Communications since 2007. This fully integrated, automated workflow solution is a customized solution for the US Department of

Veterans Affairs and has proven to be an invaluable in VISN 9 s daily mission to support the delivery of patient care to our nation s veterans. The Cleo Streem solution provides substantial cost saving and capabilities that help to improve patient care and is a mission critical component of the VISN 9 infrastructure.
