POWERFUL BUSINESS INFORMATION FOR ALL AREAS OF YOUR HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION
SierraGold provides a practical solution for healthcare organizations to manage multiple, foreign and domestic, electronic carrier bills by merging this eclectic data mix into standard call accounting reports. These standard reports allow you to uncover cost discrepancies and enable a complete breakdown of all corporate telecom expenses by incorporating equipment charges, credit card billing, governmental aggregation data, negotiated third-party rates, message unit hierarchies and rate banding.
SierraGold allows you to combine your telecom expenses with organizational data to automatically assign usage charges to responsible entities and send them to your general-ledger system. This enables business-unit accountability by appropriately dividing and allocating telecom expenses between departments as well as prorating charges based on actual usage.

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT SIERRAGOLD HEALTHCARE CALL ANALYTICS
SierraGold query and reporting capabilities allow healthcare organizations gain valuable insight into their telecom traffic patterns. Here are just two examples.
Detail reporting can demonstrate equipment usage, allowing organizations to identify unused extensions, as well as underutilized trunks, gateways, circuits and equipment, which can then be repurposed. Repurposing these assets saves time and dollars by eliminating the need to purchase and install more extensions, software licenses and hardware.
For healthcare organizations that control costs by utilizing limited-usage services, such as SIP minutes per route, SierraGold provides a report which shows total minutes by route, supplying the organization a means of ensuring they do not exceed their allotted usage.
SAI ensures your call detail records are secured physically and digitally via numerous access controls. We maintain your data indefinitely, and delete it on your time schedule.
When the need to investigate an anomaly arises, SierraGold provides tools to conduct a forensic search into your CDR. SierraGold tracks calls cradle-to-grave, through transfers and merges. It can provide a complete picture of the path a call takes from the initial connection to final resolution. You will find answers to respond and comply with legal inquiries, e-discovery and corporate policies.
The Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) act requires network and telecommunication systems be monitored for security breaches and protected from cybercrimes. It requires data retention as well as internal controls and reporting methods to ensure the adequacy of those controls. SierraGold by SAI collects, stores and monitors CDR, providing important information and security measures to help meet these SOX requirements. Here are just a few of the ways we help companies be compliant.
To combat cybercrime, SierraGold WatchDog monitors CDR for threats, and alerts selected staff when a threat is detected. For internal controls, SierraGold provides relevant reports on collected data, and gathered information can be filtered and custom formatted for importing into financial systems for further compliance tracking. For data retention, all collected data are stored indefinitely, and deleted on your schedule.
On a 24x7x365 basis, SierraGold WatchDog will monitor all call detail records as they are received. When a 911 or e911 call is detected, WatchDog immediately sends out the call details in an email alert to specified staff members of your healthcare organization.
