• Register Today-- Optimizing Your Network in the Age of Telehealth
Thursday, November 5, 2020 | 12 - 12:30 p.m. EDT
Hospitals, clinics, and medical offices now use communication and reference apps daily to improve and facilitate patient care. In addition, WiFi-enabled devices include diagnostic equipment, life-support equipment, patient monitoring, and even devices that can track medication schedules. MRI machines, infusion pumps, and glucometers are all examples of devices that now connect and depend on WiFi. Healthcare settings require a secure and reliable wireless network if these apps and devices are to work seamlessly. There can be no slow spots or downtime, and the network must be designed to support
a dynamic and dense wireless environment.
This webinar will discuss the networking challenges that healthcare IT organizations face today and in the future, and how to optimize your network in the age of telehealth. Information that will be covered includes network automation that leverages industry-leading AI technology combined with remote-controlled synthetic network testing to deliver end-user quality metrics and valuable business analytics. As networks become more complex, mobile, and distributed to support telehealth, new solutions are required to deliver the required performance and reliability.
• Register Today-- Population Health Perspective: Successful Strategies for Colorectal Cancer Screening During COVID-19
Tuesday, November 10, 2020 | 12 - 12:45 p.m. EDT
Colorectal cancer (CRC) screening is underutilized.
