WAUKESHA, WI, OCTOBER 28, 2008 ― GE Healthcare today announced Methodist Medical Center in Peoria, Ill. deployed GE CARESCAPE ™ Enterprise Access™, supporting its wireless vision to improve patient care and enhance patient safety through expanded patient monitoring. With a single, integrated wireless platform, Methodist Medical Center now provides wireless coverage throughout the facility, enabling it to monitor more patients while increasing the use of cellular phones, PDAs, pagers and laptops at the point of care.

“Previously, cell coverage and wireless access was not reliable on all floors, making it difficult for clinicians to access patient information throughout the facility,” said Methodist Medical Center CIO Ellen Swoger. “GE CARESCAPE Enterprise Access ensures wireless coverage throughout the hospital—helping clinicians have faster, easier access to critical patient information anywhere in the building. Wireless technologies will play a significant role in further enhancing patient safety. It is easier than ever to deliver the right information to the right person at the right time and place.”

Reducing Costs & Improving Communication with CARESCAPE Enterprise Access

Clinicians in high-acuity environments need reliable and timely access to critical patient information. GE Healthcare’s CARESCAPE portfolio of products addresses this need with a new approach to patient monitoring that integrates patient monitoring devices, communications networks and IT systems to provide easy access to patient information from a variety of devices — wireless, desktop or bedside. Information can flow in real time from telemetry and bedside monitors to electronic medical records (EMRs) and decision support systems. Expanding its telemetry deployment enabled Methodist Medical Center to:

•     Reduce Costs: expanded telemetry coverage in surgical care units means patients can be monitored in step-down units rather than more resource intensive and high-demand ICU beds.

•     Improve Patient Mobility: patients now can be monitored throughout the increased telemetry coverage area in the hospital giving them more freedom to move and expand rehabilitation options.

•     Deliver Flexible Patient Monitoring: telemetry ensures Methodist Medical Center can monitor patients upon entering the emergency room, through transport and throughout inpatient care, helping enhance patient care wherever the patient is located.

Expanding its mobile capabilities throughout the hospital delivered additional patient-care benefits including:

•     Improved Patient Satisfaction: reliable wireless coverage helps the center meet its goal of responding to all patient requests within two minutes, leading to patient satisfaction rates in the 94th percentile for inpatients from April to June 2008.

•     Disruptive Noise Reduced: because communication is conducted using wireless devices, disturbing overhead paging is reduced.

Powered by MobileAccess and its Wire-it-Once™ infrastructure, CARESCAPE Enterprise Access enables data to be coordinated and managed within one wireless network across an entire enterprise. This includes data on pagers, workstations on wheels, laptops and tablet PCs. The distributed antenna system allows IT staff to manage potential interference issues before they occur and to quickly add new services and adapt to emerging wireless requirements and future expansions without disrupting operations or interrupting services. Leveraging Enterprise Access, Methodist Medical uses GE Healthcare ApexPro ® CH telemetry system, providing the center with a large-capacity wireless patient monitoring system.

“Traditional patient monitoring systems do not keep pace with the growing demands of our healthcare system: patients are sicker, skilled healthcare workers are fewer in number and regulatory demands are growing,” said Vice President & General Manager of GE Healthcare Monitoring Solutions David Ataide. “Methodist Medical Center is among the leading edge hospitals leveraging GE Healthcare’s CARESCAPE portfolio to turn streams of unorganized patient data into meaningful, easily accessible clinical intelligence. We are proud to support Methodist Medical Center and its goal of providing better patient information to make improved clinical decisions.”

Flagging Interference

Hospitals are leveraging technologies — and getting creative — to keep wireless networks free from interference

When Fernando Martinez came to Broward Health (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) as the new CTO in the fall of 2007, he had his work cut out for him. Martinez, who had previously served as CIO at Mercy Hospital in Miami, said his orders were simple at Broward: solve the wireless interference problems at the multi-facility, 716-bed health system.

“There was a lack of obsolescence in capacity planning where networking was concerned,” says Martinez. “It was kind of like poking-hole wireless diagnostics, which led to a proliferation of wireless devices and radios and that resulted in a lot of interference.”

The first step was to conduct a survey. But before that could even begin, Martinez and his staff had to transition from the earlier version of Cisco's (San Jose, Calif.) network to the current technology — the Cisco Spectrum Expert Wi-Fi — which integrates with Cisco's Unified Wireless Network to deliver spectrum intelligence for Wi-Fi networks. It could then be leveraged to troubleshoot sources of interference.

Once the architecture was in place, Martinez was able to run spectrum analysis. Not surprisingly, a great deal of noise was detected in the wireless space; so much, in fact, that he and his staff began to turn off radios in order to obtain a better read, according to Martinez. As soon as they were able to accurately identify the location and number of radios, they began turning off radios and powering down those that were left on. Martinez was then able to utilize more advanced tools to examine and measure activity by device and by channel to more effectively zero in on areas of interference.

According to John Collins, director of engineering compliance at the American Society for Healthcare Engineering (ASHE, Chicago), conducting spectrum surveys is essential to maintaining a healthy wireless network, particularly since outside devices such as laptops and Blackberries are regularly brought into hospitals by patients and visitors, where they can radiate information and take up space in the hospital airwaves.

“The devices by themselves don't really cause a problem; they're kind of low-level power things,” says Collins. “However, when all these devices come into hospitals, there is a noise level involved with that, and you may not know about it because it's electronic. But if you have a spectrum analyzer, you can see the basic noise level start to increase, and this eventually will cause problems, unless it's controlled,” he explains.

Once Martinez was able to identify the problems, he quickly devised and began testing a proposed solution. A number of devices at Broward were operating on 802.11B and 802.11G, which use the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industry Science and Medicine) frequency band, and offers just three non-overlapping channels. As a result, they are more likely to experience interference issues, he says. With that in mind, Martinez began to move a few devices, starting with the wireless carts, onto the 802.11A band, which operates with a frequency of 5 GHz or higher, and offers eight non-overlapping channels.

“Because clinical carts have access to the most sensitive or critical information, we chose those devices to pull to a different frequency, just from a workflow optimization point of view,” says Martinez. “It gave us a lot more flexibility to then deal with the remaining devices that were competing for 802.11 B/G traffic, so that worked out well.”

Martinez and his staff are looking to move more devices off of 802.11 B/G, which he says will allow “an opportunity to more tactfully design how channelization issues could be minimized. Part of what we're doing in the redesign process is collapsing in the other devices. Using the tools we have, we're able to architect them. We know where we have the capacity to integrate them and bring them in.”

The ultimate goal, he says, is to have one network to manage and monitor.

However, because Broward is part of a multihospital system, spectrum analysis needs to be performed at each individual facility. When fixing a problem as complicated as wireless interference, he says, CTOs and CIOs won't find a one-size-fits-all solution.

“A wireless survey for a facility is a wireless survey for that particular facility, not for the enterprise,” says Martinez. At Broward, “each one of the facilities has proven to have a uniqueness to the way it was cabled, the way it was built, and what devices existed that create interference. Your work is not done until you examine each facility independently.”

Once that has been done, Martinez says, the IT staff can look for common threads. As the enterprise wireless network is designed, CTOs and CIOs can build on those commonalities and begin to architect, design, and engineer based on the one-offs from each facility.

Frequency hopping, one facility at a time

At Memorial Health System (Colorado Springs, Colo.), the IT team is looking to build off the success of a one-off experiment with frequency-hopping telemetry to create a new standard of best practices across the network.

Last spring, when Memorial Hospital North opened its doors — marking the first time in 30 years the system opened a new facility — CIO Tom Kerwin opted to make the 98-bed facility a test site for ApexPro FH, a frequency hopping system from GE Healthcare (Chalfont St. Giles, United Kingdom) that enables data to be securely managed and distributed without communication failures such as interference. If the technology proved successful, it would equal one fewer facility that would have to be retrofitted with wireless technology.

“We found that it had more integrity hopping between frequencies,” said Kerwin, adding that plans are now in place to extend the technology to other facilities in the network.

ApexPro operates on GE's Carescape Enterprise Access wireless platform utilizing a distributed antenna system that is powered by Vienna, Va.-based MobileAccess' Wire-it-Once infrastructure. It works by using a bidirectional, frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum infrastructure that allows it to move around the spectrum in order to avoid interference and other communication failures throughout the facility.

“We designed the system to have coverage everywhere, so when we talk about ubiquitous coverage, this really provides that, as opposed to stand-alone telemetry systems,” says Kerwin. The GE system doesn't restrict the installation of antennas to ceilings, which he says is difficult to maintain once the network expands. “With this package, we're able to do it everywhere, which allowed the caregivers continuous monitoring capabilities throughout the facility.”

Another key component in the design was redundancy, which was built in for back-up purposes, according to Bob Barrett, director of information services at Memorial. In places where telemetry is used, there are two antennas, and failover was designed and implemented specifically so that in the event that one antenna fails, the second picks up the signal and prevents the loss of data, he says.

Perhaps the biggest advantage Kerwin has seen with the frequency hopping system is its ability to manage segmentation between the different frequencies. “The way that it's architected is it handles the interference issues,” he says. “You don't have to worry about any bleed-over between WiFi and pagers.”

According to Kerwin, the clinicians at Memorial North are very satisfied with the cell phone coverage offered by the new network, which is critical since a number of them use cell phones throughout the day to communicate with patients.

“It's raised the bar on the expectations from a clinical perspective,” says Kerwin. “We want continuous monitoring capabilities, we want to have cell phone coverage throughout the facility in any location, our pagers need to go off wherever we are, and realistically there's no way to solve this problem without installing a system like this.”

In addition to telemetry and cell phone service, the Carescape Enterprise Access wireless platform also has capabilities to run public safety communications and RFID, a factor that was an important selling point for Kerwin. “Whenever we can buy one solution and use it over and over again in a variety of settings, those are the things that we like to do — leverage that infrastructure, not rebuild it every time for every solution.”

The staff at Memorial is looking to expand the technology to Memorial Hospital Central, a 619-bed facility, in the near future to improve communications at that location.

Adds Kerwin, “Our goal is to say that if you're a physician, no matter where you are, you can communicate.”

VIENNA, Va.—May 15, 2008— MobileAccess, the global provider of enterprise wireless solutions, today announced it has broadened its international business through a partnership with Australia-based Enersus, a value added reseller (VAR) and system integrator (SI) specializing in cellular, Wi-Fi, WiMAX and Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) solutions. By working with Enersus, MobileAccess is meeting the growing demand for its Universal Wireless Network solution from customers worldwide, including Tullamarine Airport, the Parramatta Justice Precinct and the Chatswood Westfield Mall.

“In Australia, we often experience service interference between the new 3G services and traditional GSM networks,” said Ben Patullo, managing director for Enersus. “MobileAccess is the only solution we have found that can seamlessly and simultaneously carry both services over a single infrastructure without interference. Furthermore, with MobileAccess, organizations can add or remove services as requirements evolve without any additional infrastructure investments. We can offer clients the most flexible, scalable and cost-effective wireless network.”

Airports are built with heavy construction materials that can impede the flow of radio frequency (RF) signals and interfere with voice and data coverage. The Tullamarine Airport in Melbourne, Australia, sought a solution that would overcome such impediments and deliver pervasive wireless coverage throughout the 250,000 square foot facility. Enersus chose the MobileAccess solution for its unique ability to combine the new 3G 850 and GSM900 technologies over a single network and adapt for multiple carriers. The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network technology easily scales to meet future 4G wireless technology needs without any additional wiring or disruption during upgrades. The result is a nimble wireless system that brings cutting-edge communications to Tullamarine Airport while delivering financial and operational efficiencies.

The Parramatta Justice Precinct includes the new Children’s Court, the Trial Courts and the Attorney General’s Office for New South Wales among other buildings. The Property Council of Australia mandated that mobile coverage be available within the buildings in the Parramatta Justice Precinct. Enersus designed a MobileAccess solution that allowed any mobile operator to provide multiple wireless services over one infrastructure, while also overcoming the additional wireless coverage hurdles resulting from the precinct’s five-star, green-rated construction. The network is now fully integrated and covers the three major buildings.

Westfield Chatswood is a premier shopping and entertainment center in the heart of downtown Sydney, Australia, boasting nine cinemas, 45 dining options and 326 retail stores. Developers recognized the need for a sophisticated wireless system that could provide seamless connectivity for many different constituents, including visitors, employees and first responders while maintaining the scalable performance required in a facility of this size. They turned to Enersus for guidance and Enersus selected the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network for its ability to deliver multiple wireless services within large, complex structures.

“These deployments reflect the steady momentum that MobileAccess is experiencing in the international market,” said Cathy Zatloukal, president and CEO of MobileAccess. “We see increasing worldwide demand for our universal wireless approach, which delivers pervasive coverage with the most advanced technology available, easily adjusts to new wireless services and meets bottom-line cost objectives both today and in the future.”

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 25, 2008 – Recently completed interoperability testing of Meru Networks wireless LANs and the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network in-building platform has verified that together the combined solutions offer an in-building WLAN deployment alternative that enhances wireless security while simplifying WLAN maintenance for hospitals, enterprises and other large facilities.

Under the auspices of Meru's VoIP Unplugged Program and the MobileAccess Alliance Partner Program, the two companies certify the successful operation of Meru's Air Traffic Control™ wireless LAN technology over the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network. When the technologies are combined in a customer site, Meru wireless access points (APs) can be clustered in telecommunications wiring closets, where they are more secure and easier to maintain than on ceilings where they are typically placed.

Sparrow Health System, a Michigan-based regional network of hospitals with more than 500 beds, uses an integrated Meru WLAN deployment over a MobileAccess wireless infrastructure. Robert Parsons, Sparrow Health's chief technology officer, said, "The combination of these two technologies is in my estimation one of the best wireless solutions on the market. With Meru's single-channel approach to WLANs, users get uninterrupted connectivity because they don't have to hop from channel to channel when they roam. Together with the MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network, this makes for a combined solution that addresses all three of our major requirements for wireless: accessibility, reliability and security."

The MobileAccess Universal Wireless Network uses a hybrid fiber/coax cabling infrastructure and discrete broadband antennas to deliver pervasive wireless coverage for multiple wireless services, including wireless LAN. The Meru APs in the wiring closet send 802.11 a/b/g signals to MobileAccess WLAN modules, which combine those signals with RF signals from other wireless services and distribute the combined services to antennas, mirroring the behaviors and coverage footprint of a conventional, AP-on-the-ceiling WLAN deployment.

"In sensitive environments like hospitals, it's important to prevent hospital disruption caused by routine maintenance of APs on ceilings and the increased infection risks caused by the removal of ceiling tiles," said Cathy Zatloukal, MobileAccess president and CEO. "With our combined solution, hospitals can provide reliable wireless coverage for WLAN and other wireless services without sacrificing operational efficiency and patient safety."

Kamal Anand, Meru's senior vice president of marketing and corporate strategy, said the integration of Meru and MobileAccess technologies "results in a cost-effective multi-service solution that spreads infrastructure costs across multiple wireless services without making the customer give up any of the features or versatility for which Meru WLANs are known. In particular, the integration maintains the integrity of Meru's unique 'virtual cell' wireless technology, which automatically selects a single channel for enterprise-wide use, eliminating co-channel interference and the costly channel planning that plague legacy networks."
