Connecting Satellite Clinics
The Challenge:
Many physicians groups and clinics are affiliated closely to nearby hospitals, with physicians performing rounds at both and having significant patient overlap. Integrating the satellite clinics with the hospital network is essential to allow physicians and medical technicians to access patient records and input new information in a timely manner -- so that it is up to date and available at both locations. In many cases, clinics are not directly linked to the hospital, are linked via slow dial-up, or are connected into the hospital network with leased lines.

The Solution:
Health care groups can simultaneously increase access to accurate patient data and minimize operating expense by installing wireless network bridges instead of expensive leased lines. A typical return on investment compared with leased lines is 12 months or less.
