- Role-based access controls
- Business Associate Agreements

Hospital & Healthcare Phone Systems in Canada
Hospital phone systems and healthcare facility communications require specialized capabilities that generic business phone solutions cannot provide. Patient privacy protection under PHIPA, emergency code broadcasting for life-threatening situations, on-call physician management with complex routing protocols, nurse call system integration, and compliance with healthcare regulations all demand purpose-built hospital phone systems rather than adapted business phone platforms.
PHIPA Compliance and Canadian-Owned Healthcare VoIP
An important distinction exists between healthcare phone providers that are truly Canadian-owned versus those carrying Canadian telecom brands. TELUS Business Connect, for example, is powered by RingCentral - an American company headquartered in California. When healthcare facilities use TELUS Business Connect, patient data may route through US infrastructure and is subject to US data laws including the Patriot Act and CLOUD Act, creating significant PHIPA compliance concerns.
BaronTEL delivers 100% Canadian-owned healthcare phone systems with PHIPA-compliant infrastructure hosted entirely in Canadian data centers, emergency code broadcasting for Code Blue, Red, Yellow, and other critical alerts, on-call physician routing with escalation protocols, nurse call integration with Rauland, Hill-Rom, Cornell, and Austco, mobile apps like Bria enabling physicians to be reached anywhere while protecting personal numbers, Voicemail Anywhere with secure PIN access, Custom Hold Messaging for appointment and pharmacy lines, and 5-7 business day number porting with zero downtime. Whether serving hospitals, medical clinics, or long-term care facilities, BaronTEL provides PHIPA-compliant communications where patient data stays in Canada under Canadian privacy laws - no contracts required.
