Common challenges in healthcare centers and nursing homes
In healthcare centers and nursing homes, many professional teams must work closely together — from nursing staff and administration to physicians, housekeeping, and technical services. Communication is the key to smooth operations and safe, high-quality care. In reality, however, numerous obstacles stand in the way.
Why Teamwire is the top messenger for nursing homes and health centres
Get the right information at the right time — even under pressure
Whether in the ward office, administration, or living areas, Teamwire connects nursing staff, physicians, administrative personnel, and service teams in real time. Important information reaches the right people quickly, securely, and with full traceability — resulting in fewer misunderstandings, smoother handovers, and stronger collaboration across the entire facility.

If you can use WhatsApp, you can use Teamwire — only it’s fully GDPR-, KHZG-, and NIS-2-compliant. No training. No complexity. No risk.
1:1 chats and group chats for every department
Create group chats and distribution lists for living areas, day or night shifts, administration, kitchen staff, or housekeeping. All relevant teams stay informed in real time — whether it’s about resident requests, duty roster changes, or operational updates.
Voice and video conferencing for quick coordination
Discuss issues instantly via voice or video calls with up to 30 participants — for example, during medication changes, emergencies, or last-minute care decisions.
Color-coded status and alert messages
Highlight important messages — such as emergencies, medical appointments, resident transfers, or shift changes — with color-coded alerts. Staff can see at a glance what requires their attention (with read receipts included).
Securely share and edit images, documents, and information in seconds
Teamwire complements traditional communication channels such as phone, email, or paper documentation with a modern, mobile platform for secure real-time communication. Nursing, administrative, and medical teams gain information faster, make quicker decisions, and maintain transparent workflows — all while staying fully compliant with data protection and auditability requirements.
Secure sharing of digital content
Send photos, videos, or documents — such as wound documentation, medication plans, or handover reports — straight to colleagues. All data transfers are encrypted and remain entirely within your organization.
Edit images and files directly
Highlight relevant areas, add notes, or anonymize personal data — all directly within the app. This keeps data secure while making communication and documentation more precise and reliable.
Quick coordination through surveys
Quickly coordinate working hours, shift changes, or task assignments. Results appear instantly in the chat, accelerating decision-making in everyday care.
Live locations for efficient coordination
Always know where caregivers, technical services, or on-call teams are located. This enables faster and more targeted coordination of activities or emergencies.
