医疗在美孚e First

从改善护理质量到增加患者参与到降低成本的机会，移动健康的机会很大。医疗保健长期以来一直在创新技术方面蓬勃发展，并且最先进的移动发展迅速发展。

回顾五，六年前，医院（在澳大利亚和世界各地都在这里）建立了无线LAN，以支持车轮上的计算机（母牛），带护士或医生使用的笔记本电脑的手推车，这些手推车用来输入患者数据，审查实验室和放射学报告，检查药物兼容性或其他任务。

At the time, one of the biggest challenges was that many of the COWS end up in the same areas in the hospital at certain times of the day. Yes, the COWS would bunch up in a herd. And having so many Wi-Fi clients in one place created a density problem, and getting reliable Wi-Fi connectivity was difficult. It took some finesses, but we tackled that problem for our customers.

Doctors, nurses and other clinicians need the ability to communicate easily and instantly. But back in the day, desk phones were hard-wired and in-building cell coverage was poor, so hospitals tried something new—portable handsets that worked over Wi-Fi. It took some pioneering work to get voice over Wi-Fi to work reliably, but just as with the herd of COWS, customers could count on Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company, to overcome the technology hurdles. Today, hospitals use wireless VoIP as well as the full suite of unified communications tools, including collaboration and video chat.

Patient monitoring was another early use for the wireless. Patients' vital signs could be monitored remotely from the nurse's stations, and without an unsightly rats' nest of cables plugged into the wall. Today, innovations go beyond smart beds and infusion pumps to wearable devices that can continue to monitor patients for chronic conditions or factors that might cause re-admission after they've been discharged.

For each of these use cases, wireless technology advanced. Critical applications were moved to the 5 GHz band—away from the noisy and crowded 2.4 GHz band. Issues with sticky clients were resolved, and quality of service for Wi-Fi was developed. Wireless LANs were designed for both coverage and capacity, as more mobile devices were connected.

手机的下一步首先：患者体验

But the mobile opportunity isn't just about helping clinical and administrative staff deliver better, more efficient care. Increasingly, mobile is used to enhance the patient experience.

在早期，没有IT经理会敢于将医院业务与患者的愉悦混合在一起。但是，借助今天的移动优先，企业级无线网络，医院可以有所不同。

这样的医院系统是Epworth HealthCare。它是澳大利亚维多利亚州维多利亚州最大的非营利性医疗团体，以其尖端医学和出色的患者服务而闻名。超过122,000名患者被送往其七家医院。

为了支持其移动优先战略，Epworth最近将其七家医院中的四家升级为最新802.11acaccess points. Clinical staff can use their preferred mobile devices anywhere. Network access for BYOD and hospital-owned devices is secured by ArubaClearPass.这是一个高度密集的客户环境，通常有三个移动设备。该网络支持诸如语音以及临床和管理应用程序之类的实时应用程序。而且，由于其Aruba移动优先网络是应用程序，因此语音和关键生活应用程序会自动优先考虑，以确保它们始终获得所需的带宽，而网络可以轻松适应其他应用程序，包括患者服务。

And in no time, Netflix and other streaming media services became the top applications on the hospital's network.

病人及其家人喜欢它。他们不再需要在房间拐角处的电视上观看可怕的白天演出。他们不必将天花板上的斑点视为Ersatz Rorschach测试。他们的私人平板电脑或笔记本电脑上有一些水龙头，他们最喜欢的节目和电影，点餐以及与护士和医生进行交流可以分散注意力。

医院管理员惊讶于流媒体在网络上使用最高，但我敢打赌您不是。

但是医院并不担心。带着Aruba Mobile First Platform，医院具有所需的安全控制以及网络容量和可靠性。但更重要的是，它具有智能软件层，该软件层将连通性变成了临床医生，管理人员甚至患者的丰富经验。

What's Next for Mobile First in Healthcare?

Building a Mobile First platform opens the door to new ways to engage patients, improve the quality of care and lower costs.

Oneview Healthcareis just one example of a healthcare innovator that Aruba works with. Oneview Health provides point-of-care access to a hospital's IT systems. It also lets patients use mobile devices to select their meals, choose entertainment, and communicate with their care team, friends and families right from their beds. Hospitals can also use it for location services for wayfinding, presence to record movement in and out of rooms, and for digital signage.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are the next wave of innovation. Hospitals are using augmented reality technologies like Microsoft HoloLens for patient diagnostics. With a clinical application that runs on the goggles, people can visualize body parts in 3D,改变医学院教解剖的方式。MRI数据可以覆盖在患者身上准备进行手术，使医生更精确地靶向肿瘤。

I can see the potential of Mobile First right here in Australia. Experts across the world recognize it too, In fact,McKinsey表示，数字健康解决方案可以解锁300至4500亿美元的价值。这是建立移动第一基础架构的很多原因。
