Healthcare IT is evolving at a rapid pace, making it more critical than ever that today’s healthcare organizations implement the proper infrastructure to successfully support and secure cutting-edge, digitally-enabled tools and mobile applications. To demonstrate the importance of connected health devices in today’s hospitals, our team is excited to share that we’ve been selected for the fifth consecutive year as the network provider for the Intelligent Health Pavilion (IHP), which is a full mock-up hospital setting showcasing the most innovative healthcare technologies today at HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition.
Each year at HIMSS, the IHP gives visitors a look into how mobile, wearable and digital health technology come together in hospital settings to provide superior patient care. Through simulated demonstrations at the pavilion, visitors are able to see how IoT-connected sensors, mobile devices and data analytics are enabling caregivers to deliver real-time, precision medicine. On the backend, organizations must ensure that they have the proper wired and wireless networking infrastructure in place from the access points all the way to the data center to avoid bottlenecks and provide reliable 24/7 coverage.
With our technology, hospitals and healthcare organizations are offered seamless mobility and optimized application performance ranging from patient telemetry monitoring to critical communications systems. When applied, this offers secure connectivity and medical device management, better location-based services to protect data and real-time management and analytics. The result helps save lives, improve access to care, prevent security vulnerabilities and reduce costs in hospital settings. Our team is committed to delivering this unmatched and consistent level of services for the healthcare industry through their approach to connectivity.
At the event, we will also be demonstrating our mission-critical, wired and wireless networking and analytics technology at booth #11654 from Monday, March 5 through Friday, March 9, 2018. To learn more about the importance of transformative technologies in hospital settings, securing the hospital network and preparing the network to handle an increase in the number of devices, you can attend one of our speaking sessions below.
