6. Connected Healthcare: Changing The Way You Design, Build, And Manage Healthcare Environments 1/9/2012
   The traditional approach to designing hospital buildings — deploying multiple proprietary networks for voice, video, and data, HVAC, security and access, energy, lighting, fire and safety, and other functions — unnecessarily increases capital costs and operational expenses. When developers and builders replace disparate networks with one simplified, flexible, and scalable IP network and incorporate a ‘connected healthcare’ framework into their buildings, it creates a catalyst for an information utility, while reducing cost and complexity.
7. RTLS: Seeing Is Believing For Pediatric Hospital 10/28/2011

8. RTLS Improves Hospital’s Operations 9/20/2011
   This case study highlights how Baltimore’s Mercy Medical Center leveraged Skytron’s RTLS (real-time location system) technology to monitor refrigerator temperatures and track IV pumps.
9. Provider’s Perceptions On Mobility In Healthcare 8/24/2011
   Porter Research and Billian’s HealthDATA have collaborated to bring you this primary market research program aimed at understanding healthcare providers’ perceptions regarding mobility in healthcare.
10. Network Convergence: A Catalyst For Reducing Cost Across Healthcare Facilities 8/11/2011
    The traditional approach to designing hospital buildings— deploying multiple proprietary networks for voice, video and data, HVAC; security and access, energy, lighting, fire and safety; and other functions — unnecessarily increases capital costs and operational expenses. When developers and builders replace disparate networks with one simplified, flexible, and scalable IP network, it creates a catalyst for an information utility, while reducing cost and complexity.
