Healthcare

Enable clinicians to provide higher quality patient care
Access to patient records, administrative systems and hospital voice services from anywhere in the hospital - at the bedside, on the move, in clinic - gives clinicians the information, when and where they need it.

Provide Community Health Workers with instant access to email, patient notes, diary and administrative resources
Wireless networks offer wide area coverage; Community Health Workers can increase their efficiency and effectiveness by staying in touch with their office resources while delivering healthcare services within the community.

Remove the high costs of communication between colleagues onsite, on the move and at other medical institutions
Internet telephony, instant messaging, email, video conferencing and SMS messaging services can be readily deployed over a wireless network from WIN, reducing or even removing high external charges from fixed and mobile operators.

Provide an easy to use method of communication for Community of Interest (COIN) groups to share information
Low-cost, quick to deploy, WIN wireless networks are enabling COIN groups to exchange and share information such as cancer and diabetes databases, with colleagues and health professionals in PCTs around the country.

Improve patient care and services through better communication between hospitals, health centres and other clinical services
A viable alternative to leased lines, WIN wireless networks are creating affordable links between healthcare professionals that allow the sharing of records and clinical information, resulting in improved patient care and services.

Give paramedics access to the Patient Administration System and Electronic Patient Records, even when at the scene of an incident
Wireless connectivity allows even ambulances on the move to stay connected to the hospital network, providing high-speed access to PAS and EPR systems, saving time and reducing administration.
