The Challenge
Increasing patient demand was placing greater pressure on clinical teams, while outdated infrastructure and manual, paper-based processes were limiting efficiency.
The organisation needed a wireless network capable of providing reliable connectivity throughout clinical areas while supporting a growing range of mobile devices and digital healthcare technologies.
The Solution
A new Cisco wireless network was deployed across clinical areas, providing the underlying connectivity required to support agile working and future digital services.
The Cisco infrastructure supported:
🔹 Clinical mobile devices
🔹 Secure access to patient information
🔹 Real-time location services (RTLS)
🔹 Staff communication systems
🔹 Handheld digital scanners
🔹 Digital clinical workflows
The network also supported real-time asset tracking for equipment including infusion pumps and defibrillators, alongside mobile communication and blood traceability systems.
