Healthcare
Protect and connect vital assets.
Delivering integrated, turn-key network systems to meet the digital demands of healthcare.
Achieving a truly connected healthcare system can be more than a little challenging. Hospitals and similar facilities need to be accessible, while maintaining the highest level of security. Operations must be efficient, but remain flexible. It’s a tall order for any facility or campus, let alone one that connects lifesaving technology and secures protected health information (PHI). Tru-Connect is more than up for this challenge. Our consultative approach and turnkey service can help you strike the right balance, whether you’re upgrading a legacy network or designing a new medical-grade wireless and LAN network, keeping your operations on the cutting edge of digital healthcare.
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY
Hospitals are very sophisticated buildings, consisting of varying construction materials that can challenge wireless connectivity and cellular distributed antenna systems. Thick concrete walls and lead-lined radiology rooms would be a prime example. When you consider these structures along with the growing number of wireless-enabled biomedical devices, most requiring massive bandwidth, it can be difficult to meet demand and maintain security. Internet of Things (IoT) adoption only adds to the pressure placed on healthcare systems’ legacy Wi-Fi networks, many of which are unequipped to meet the demands of the dynamic and constantly evolving medical environment.
Hospital Chief Information Officers and CEOs view secure campus-wide Wi-Fi coverage for healthcare applications as essential to efficient operations to facilitate the best outcomes for every patient. Well-designed medical-grade LAN and RF wireless architecture is crucial to connecting healthcare providers with real-time information about their patients, improving accuracy of services delivered, and tracking and monitoring expensive equipment and supplies.
A robust and resilient Wi-Fi Network can deliver pervasive connectivity that provides around-the-clock coverage and capacity solution that supports:
- High Density devices such as doctors’ laptops, handheld personal devices, Computers on Wheels (COWs) and wearable patient monitoring technology
- Transmission of sensitive high-resolution imagery such as X-ray, CT and MRI scans to a mobile device at the point of care
- Wireless access to Electronic Medical Records (EMRs), portable bedside monitors and advanced medical technologies
- Location technology for wayfinding, RFID asset tracking and room utilization
- Voice communications allowing nursing staff to communicate and be reached wherever they are working
- Patient and visitor wireless internet service

SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
Hospitals, medical and assisted living facilities face tremendous challenges maintaining a secure environment while being accessible on a 24/7 basis to the communities they serve. These systems must adhere to stringent healthcare-specific regulations and safety compliance requirements to protect patients and frontline staff.
As the complexities of managing a healthcare facility continue to grow, the latest hospital security systems such as access control and alarm, networked or wireless access locks & electrified door controls, digital video surveillance (CCTV) and mass notification systems have vast potential to increase staff efficiency, lower operating costs and prevent theft and threats.
Integrated, advanced hospital communications and security systems can provide:
- Easy access to verified individuals and help manage restricted areas.
- Reliable communications with first responders.
- Proactive detection and deterrence of theft of assets, equipment and medications.
- Remote control and lockdown capabilities.
- Secure & regulate access to government-controlled lab equipment.
