“I looked at several products and decided on Xirrus because of their ability to use less equipment to cover more area than their competitors. The central management system offered by Xirrus allows us to centrally manage the Arrays in all 20 of our facilities.” — Kerry Kellerman, Network Manager at Great Plains Health Alliance
Wireless is improving patient care and healthcare productivity.
The push to deliver healthcare services electronically is driving increased wireless usage. The use of wireless tablets is growing among clinicians as a tool for mobile patient management. And, most other medical equipment is now Wi-Fi enabled for transmitting data electronically. In addition, patients and visiting family arrive with smartphones, tablets and laptops - all of which need wireless connectivity.
Mobility is making healthcare healthier. When Xirrus’ wireless Arrays are deployed, interactive patient records can instantly be sent bedside, which in return improves a patient’s outcome quicker. When we can stream video of patient symptoms to a doctor in another wing, doctors and nurses get more done. And, when a facility-wide wireless network is deployed, there is less infrastructure disturbance in comparison to either wired or conventional wireless. Wireless isn’t a nice to have anymore. Done right, it’s a strategic IT infrastructure evolution that advances healthcare.
Xirrus wireless solutions support the unique requirements of healthcare environments, particularly in terms of device density, traffic capacity and the ability to scale on demand. Our innovative, patented technology integrates multiple components into a single device. This helps provide uncompromised access to sophisticated applications and services (multimedia, mobile, cloud-based) across healthcare facilities.
