If you were at the HiMSS11 and stopped by booth #2979 you already know about this. If not, you should know that in late February, Meru Networks had some impressive news. Teaming with Voalte, a software communications solution, Meru was selected to provide wireless coverage for the Sarasota Memorial Health Care System (SMHCS).
SMHCS nursing staff needed a solution for communication difficulties with colleagues at their point-of-care and the hospital needed a reliable and predictable voice handset solution. With an 806-bed facility, one can imagine seamless and efficient communication is a necessity.
The old system resulted in an extreme amount of overhead pages per day. With the new collaboration, Meru was able to deploy a unified communications platform that would connect nurses and other team members using Apple iPhones. In the areas where the Meru/Voalte solution was implemented, users saw an 80% reduction in overhead pages.
“Healthcare has among the most demanding requirements for a wireless network. Wireless technology has already transformed health care around the world, but its potential is much greater”, said John Gallagher, senior director, solutions marketing, Meru Networks. ”Wireless technology today drives down health care costs, eases the burden on caregivers and enables new forms of examination and treatment. Meru helps doctors, nurses and hospitals accelerate that transformation, improving patient care while minimizing the risk, time and cost found with other wireless solutions. Meru’s virtualized WLAN meet the needs of health care, with a converged network that delivers industry-leading performance for voice calls, patient telemetry and location tracking.”
