Network Infrastructure

According to new research from HIMSS about innovation, U.S. hospitals are most widely prioritizing initiatives to drive operational, procedural and financial efficiencies, as well as enhance the patient experience. To fully realize these aspirations requires a coordinated mix of people, processes, technology and partners. In this second part of the "Anatomy of Innovation" research series, conducted by HIMSS Media in partnership with Spectrum Enterprise, we will discuss how health systems can optimize their digital infrastructure to advance innovation in healthcare.

Underestimating the impact of organizational culture on your technology plans can lead to costly delays and unplanned outages, says John Donohue, Penn Medicine's associate VP for enterprise infrastructure services.

Attendees will hear from two industry veterans on how hospitals can achieve seamless movement of patient needs to the caregiver and caregiver interactions. They will also discuss the unique balance of enterprise strategy, innovation intent, and organization dynamics to maximize the benefits of technology.

With cloud migrations, proper planning, oversight and management go a long way, says Penn Medicine's Associate Vice-President of Information Services Jim Beinlich –  just like they do with any successful technology pilot or rollout. 

Medical devices must be managed from a security perspective, but also from an operational perspective. Using analytics to establish behavior baselines helps support risk assessments, find malfunctions and enhance staff productivity.

As use cases for healthcare video technology get more diverse, its best to take a full lifecycle approach that's managed centrally with standardized capabilities, says John Donohue, Penn Medicine's associate VP for enterprise infrastructure services.

The healthcare industry is under pressure to transform IT operations in the face of new technologies and increased regulation. As healthcare organizations work hard to simplify operations and add new applications and services, legacy IT infrastructure is no longer able to meet their needs. Join us on this webinar to learn how Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) is using Nutanix hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) solutions to elevate IT to focus on the applications and services that power healthcare. 

The device landscape in the healthcare sector is growing exponentially, adding to the complexity of the network, and making it challenging for IT and security personnel to remain compliant and enforce patient safety and privacy. To better understand the complexity of healthcare networks and potential vulnerabilities, Forescout research analyzed 75 healthcare deployments with over 1.5 million devices.  

Patient care today means handling the growing flow of data that constantly passes within your organization’s network. Find out how healthcare organizations have been using SD-WAN, Software Defined Wide Area Networks, to improve their efficiency, security and lower costs. This counts for not only patient care on-premise but also out in the field, bringing mobile care anywhere, no matter the signal strength. SD-WAN is a revolutionary new technology that is allowing an extraordinary improvement in the quality of patient care organizations can provide.

Join Philips Chief Medical Officer Jan Kimpen in this webinar to discuss the latest edition of Philips’ global research project, the Future Health Index. This year’s Future Health Index researched the experiences of both patient and healthcare professional experiences of health systems, across 15 countries, through the lens of the quadruple aim and shows how digital health technology is moving us to a new era of continuous transformation.
