VUMC has made the decision to discontinue Zoom for general conferencing use and transition to Microsoft Teams by March, 2023. This is being driven primarily by our need to reduce duplicate services, improve security, and standardize support.
- Improved document management and sharing
- Integrated planning tools
- Search capability across MS Exchange, Teams, SharePoint Online and OneDrive
The Epic integrated Telehealth component will be addressed by HealthIT.
