In-Building Wireless Solutions—Making Medicine Mobile

When a reliable connection is critical, what is the solution for "mobile health" in healthcare facilities.

Healthcare CIOs are facing real challenges today trying to support multiple mobile devices within a hospital. Whether a doctor is downloading an X-ray to a tablet, an EMT is communicating via a First Responder radio, or a patient is talking to loved ones on a mobile device, a reliable connection is critical.

This topic was front and center during the 2012 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Conference in Las Vegas.

CommScope attended the HIMSS conference, and during the show, I took a few minutes to interview Bill Holman, senior vice president, InnerWireless.

InnerWireless is one of CommScope’s in-building wirelessBusinessPartners. Bill and I discussed the topic of “mobile health” and deploying the right solution for healthcare facilities.

How important is connectivity in your healthcare facility?
