Hospitals are going digital with patient-focused services ranging from telehealth to high-definition medicine. But these technologies are bandwidth-intensive, and security, reliability and latency are critical when lives are on the line. UCHealth \u2014 a top-ranked hospital and healthcare provider in Colorado \u2014 is on the front line of healthcare with a high-performance, highly secure network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now it\u2019s taking the next step by rolling out new virtual tools and mobile apps to provide better value to patients. UCHealth has facilities across Colorado, including Denver, Fort Collins, Longmont, Loveland, and Colorado Springs. Its commitment to patient outcomes is evidenced by its inclusion in Watson Health\u2019s Top 15 Health Systems for 2018, which ranks the nation\u2019s top-performing health systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not content to sit on its laurels, UCHealth is continuing to evolve its commitment to patient care by improving the end-to-end patient experience. This commitment to \u2018live extraordinary\u2019 includes technological advances that will make this vision a reality, including virtual way-finding and telehealth initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
UCHealth previously partnered with Zayo to connect eight tier-one hospitals with a dark fiber ring, which expanded its bandwidth by a factor of 40 \u2014 and enabled services such as HD video. It also leveraged Zayo\u2019s colocation services to provide low latency and redundancy on EMR and ERP systems. And, with a new, private wide-area network, designed and implemented by Zayo, UCHealth is now in a position to deploy advanced healthcare solutions, including real-time HD medicine and telehealth services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But with a focus on providing end-to-end patient care, healthcare professionals don\u2019t have time to worry about access to the right patient information when critical decisions must be made. They need to securely connect to the network and easily access and share electronic health data in real time \u2014 while keeping patient needs front and center. \u201cIt\u2019s all about the patient and their individual journey,\u201d said Manny Rodriguez, Chief Marketing Officer of UCHealth. That\u2019s why UCHealth needed a connectivity provider that excels in network infrastructure solutions the same way UCHealth excels in patient care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Continuing its partnership with UCHealth, Zayo designed and installed a Private Dedicated Network (PDN) to provide connectivity across locations on dedicated fiber, with the ability to scale. By choosing to deploy a PDN, UCHealth gets all the benefits of a private network \u2014 security, scalability and dependability \u2014 without the burden of owning and operating the network infrastructure. Dedicated fiber provides the highest level of security, and the dedicated platform is customizable, scalable and secure. \u201cZayo\u2019s PDN solution offers a fully managed private network with dedicated fiber that solves for both scalability and security,\u201d said Craig Hollenbaugh, Vice President of IT with UCHealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The PDN also supports UCHealth\u2019s virtual and mobile initiatives, including the UC Virtual Health Center, which includes a Virtual Intensive Care Unit that provides continuous clinical evaluation of patients. Other initiatives include My Health Connection, an Epic patient portal used to schedule visits for non-emergency conditions; Safety View, a remote patient monitoring program for patients who suffer from confusion or have safety needs; and virtual systems to monitor patients who have suffered strokes or cardiac conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Leveraging this connectivity, UCHealth is able to deliver on its commitment to evolving the end-to-end patient experience. It\u2019s also well positioned to support the evolution of other exciting healthcare initiatives in the works and meet the challenges of delivering medical care in the 21st century \u2014 all while helping patients \u2018live extraordinary.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
