Swedish Medical Center’s wireless network profiled by Network World
The Web site Network World has a profile of Seattle’s Swedish Medical Center’s new $3.8 million wireless network that allows its staff to access patients’ electronic medical records wirelessly via 600 workstations, 400 laptops and 200 tablet PCs.
“The key benefit of the new setup is the mobility of information,” says Steve Horsley, IT director at Swedish, told Netwwork World. “With the wireless network, any clincian that needs access to a patient’s information can get it right away, wherever they are.”
The system has made care more efficient and billing easier, Horsley said.
