Network infrastructure should seamlessly connect staff, medical equipment and patient information systems. Whether 2 p.m. or 3 a.m., patients' lives depend on that connectivity. And since time is of the essence in dynamic environments like temporary facilities, speed of deployment can be as critical as network performance.
Industry experts say the most critical IT responsibility for health care CIOs is maintaining a robust, reliable, and secure infrastructure that:
- Connects caregivers, researchers and educators so patients get the best care
- Delivers more information on-demand at the point-of-care
- Minimizes barriers to entry for caregivers while maintaining HIPAA compliance and patient trust
