Convergence, part of the Communicare Healthcare family of companies, supports operations across more than 150 nursing homes in the United States. With recruiting teams, remote nurses, and medical billing staff making and receiving daily outbound and inbound calls, having a reliable communication system was critical.

After experiencing persistent call quality and reliability issues with their previous provider, Convergence began searching for a better solution. They ultimately chose CloudTalk as their cloud phone system for healthcare teams, thanks to its clear call performance, ease of use, and flexibility for both desktop and mobile-based work.

Today, CloudTalk helps Convergence’s distributed workforce stay connected — enabling recruiters to reach nursing candidates faster, supporting nurses in ongoing patient communication, and giving IT teams a system that “just works” without constant troubleshooting.

Problem

Why Convergence Needed a More Reliable Healthcare Calling System

Convergence supports a large healthcare network, with recruiting teams, remote nurses, and billing staff depending on phone communication every day. But their previous calling system wasn’t meeting the demands of a fast-moving, distributed healthcare environment.

Call quality issues, reliability problems, and limited flexibility created friction across teams — especially for recruiters who spend hours speaking with nurses and aides.

As Eli Weissman, Convergence’s IT lead, put it:

We were using a different system at the time, and it just wasn’t working for us due to quality and various issues.

With high call volumes and critical conversations happening daily, Convergence needed a cloud phone system for healthcare that could support both operational scale and ease of use.

Evaluation

How Convergence Compared Cloud Phone Providers and Set Key Criteria

When Convergence began searching for a replacement, the criteria were clear: the platform needed to be reliable, intuitive for non-technical users, and easy to manage across teams.

Eli tested multiple providers, setting up users, call flows, and workflows — but many tools created unnecessary complexity.

I tried a ton of different ones… signing up, setting up each user, setting up the call flow… things working and things not working.

Convergence’s evaluation focused on:

  • Strong call quality and stability
  • Simple login and day-to-day usability
  • Easy access to call history and dashboards
  • A system that wouldn’t create constant IT burden

Ultimately, CloudTalk stood out as the most practical and dependable choice.

CloudTalk just made the most sense. It had everything we needed, and it just worked.

Solution

How CloudTalk Supported Recruiting, Billing, and Remote Patient Communication

Convergence implemented CloudTalk as their cloud-based phone system to support several core healthcare functions:

  • Recruiting outreach for nursing home staffing
  • Medical billing calls with insurance providers
  • Remote nurse communication with patients

Today, CloudTalk is used primarily by recruiting teams connecting with nurses and aides across the US, while also supporting ongoing patient conversations.

One feature that made a significant difference for IT and operational continuity was CloudTalk’s flexibility across devices.

If it’s not working on the computer, they can just switch to their phone. It’s really simple.

This mobile fallback reduced downtime and prevented small technical issues from disrupting productivity — something their previous system couldn’t offer.

Before that, we did not have that option. It was either working or not working.

CloudTalk also enabled coaching and self-improvement through call recording and playback.

You can always listen to your calls… it helps our agents all the time.
