  2. Business Communication CASE STUDY (20 Marks) Saleh Ghasemi is the Director QHN Technical Services, which is part of HHC Enterprise Information Technology. Ghasemi and his team of 40 are responsible for all the desktops, the service desk and helpdesk, web based applications and intranet across 5,500 users in two major hospitals and satellite clinics.

  3. Ghasemi had been frustrated by the available hospital staff communication channels not being fit for purpose for conveying urgent IT notifications.

And if they did have email, they did not have computers to access them in an emergency or even a regular basis.”

  4. Ghasemi always thought there was a better solution — something with “bells and whistles” that will actually pop up on the screen and get the attention of staff. He came across the SnapComms’ hospital communication channels while researching alternatives online. In March 2011 the Technical Services team implemented four new staff communication channels — SnapComms Desktop Alert messages, Scrolling Newsfeeds, Staff Quiz and Staff Surveys and Corporate Screensavers — across QHN.
