|
The West Wireless Health Institute formed the West Wireless Health Council, a new coalition of hospital leaders from across the country, to develop innovative solutions that will enable the full potential of wireless health technology to be realized in health care delivery settings, and ultimately lower health care costs.
The Problem:
Currently, there is no standard approach to installing wireless infrastructure in health care settings, resulting in limited coverage and bandwidth. This makes it almost impossible for a doctor's iPad, a patient's smartphone and a wireless infusion pump to work simultaneously and at a level of assurance required in a medical setting. The restricted environment effectively slows the growth of low-cost solutions and drives up costs for hospitals.
|
The Solution:
The Council's first milestone was the creation of a medical grade wireless open framework that effectively turns wireless into a common utility. Using best practices across the industry, the Council developed a reference architecture that enables a wireless infrastructure to be incorporated into any hospital, much like electricity, plumbing or air conditioning.
