Mobility Advantage: Health Care Made Easier
Medical applications are among the most demanding users of network capacity, real-time performance, mission-critical reliability, and data security. Hospitals and medical centers are accelerating the pace of accessing and storing patient records via EMRs. In addition, the use of tablet computers to simplify record updates is growing. In March of 2011, a 45% increase was reported in health care professionals’ access to information by smartphone or iPad. Considering that data centers storing these records are often not connected to the main hospital, or medical office building, all this adds up to an explosion of information straining existing network infrastructure. Due to these pressures, hospitals and clinics are increasingly looking to IT departments to improve productivity and control costs.
