For the past decade, countries like the United States and Great Britain have invested billions in network infrastructure to modernize data interoperability in the healthcare sector.
In the U.S. the implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) is now ubiquitous, used in over 85% of hospitals nationwide. EHRs have the advantage of providing accurate and complete information about patients, enabling physicians access to a patient's current medication, allergies, and laboratory results in real-time.
Now network operators race to expand processing power to withstand the astounding surge in patients and medical data, further exacerbated by the shift of care from offline to online using telehealth services to deliver care virtually during the COVID-19 crisis.
Telehealth relies on both the connection to high-speed reliable internet from service providers such as Verizon and the ability to process the bandwidth and data application in the core network. Clinics and hospitals face network bottlenecks as routine patient visits are replaced with online video calls.
As medical emergencies occur at all hours, hospital data centers and network equipment too must be accessible around the clock. Downtime results at best in reduced care quality or an inaccessible EHR, but at worse can have life and death consequences.
Hospitals accelerating their network capabilities can close the gaps from the added load of EHRs and remote video consultations by optimizing infrastructure that is already in place.
Our network solutions help take the concerns away from the network and enable medical professionals to focus on what's important - the health and well being of their patients.
