Aruba Wi-Fi在Lorien Health Services提供辅助生活更舒适和照顾老年人。

利用创新技术在辅助生活和熟练的护理设施中向老年人提供卓越的护理是Michael Bowman的使命。

"Everything is wireless," explains Bowman, network engineer at Lorien Health Services. "Our caregivers are on the floor, where they need access to healthcare apps, and our residents want to stay connected with their families."

Seeking an Enterprise-Grade Network

Lorien was founded 40 years ago, and is run by the same family that runs it today. The same patient-centered, family values still apply, but technology plays a bigger role across its 14 care facilities across Maryland, where it provides assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and other services.

“我们需要提高无线网络的性能和可靠性，以改善护理送货，”鲍曼说。

With the help of its partner, Carousel, Lorien selected Aruba, a Hewlett Packard Enterprise company. "As a premier healthcare service, our priority is providing top care for our patients and residents," says Lou Grimmel, CEO of Lorien Health Services. "By partnering with Aruba, we have a network that allows us to achieve our business goals."

为了确保可靠地访问临床应用，支持移动健康技术的越来越多，Lorien部署了一个企业级无线网络，包括Aruba 802.11acaccess points(APs) and 7000 Series移动控制器。

在护士努力获得平板电脑的连接时，我已经走了，持有他们的iPad，希望能够更好的连接，或越过地板来使用桌面电脑。“我们不再有护士的投诉，即Wi-Fi在他们的家中更好，”鲍曼说。“Aruba提供了支持我们的临床应用的性能和可靠性，并为我们的居民提供更好的照顾。”

Improving patient care

"We've seen significant improvement in the efficiency of our clinical applications," says Bowman. Mobile access to electronic medical records (EMR), pharmacy, and other clinical applications are critical for patient admissions, transfers, demographic tracking, and ongoing care.

护士呼叫系统，一旦令人沮丧，可靠地工作，确保居民的安全和舒适。护理人员可以从他们的平板电脑和其他设备迅速访问临床应用。加里安用途Cerner CareTracker长期护理和Cerner的护理点从患者的床单中支持护理。现在，临床医生可以通过直接从Caretracker致电来协调小心并节省时间。

"Before, the voice capability in our facility care management apps didn't work well, and now with the Aruba W-Fi, clinicians can make a call from their tablets or laptops," says Bowman. With Aruba and the AppRF feature, IT has better control over applications and can prioritize voice and other applications and limit the bandwidth available to non-essential applications.

Enhancing comfort

创新的移动卫生设备正在提高Lorien的居民的生活质量，同时保持不太侵扰性。“我们对Aruba平台非常熟悉，支持最新的医疗技术，”鲍曼说。

该网络支持患者健康监测，智能失禁管理系统，Wi-Fi连接的药物推车，具有智能恒温器的建筑管理系统，以及其他医疗保健互联网（物联网）使用。

伟大的无线连接不仅是护理人员的期望，也是居民及其家庭。拥有安全的Wi-Fi，居民及其访客可以观看电影，检查社交媒体，并从设施的任何地方保持联系。

国家监管机构还需要安全无线访问审核。与阿鲁巴，洛里安可以相信，临床，行政和客人交通仍然是独立和安全的，而且客人可以轻松提供。

Protecting Privacy

Strong security is integrated into the Aruba network. Application-layer security and prioritization of video, voice, and other real-time applications is enabled through the stateful Policy Enforcement Firewall. It enforces access policies based on user roles, device types, app flows, and location. IT has a user-level awareness of all traffic across the network, and no longer has to manually configure static VLANs and access control lists to ensure security.

Threat protection is also integrated. RFProtect software prevents denial-of-service and man-in-the-middle attacks and mitigates over-the-air security threats that could interrupt life-critical services. RFProtect leverages the existing Aruba access points to simultaneously serve Wi-Fi clients and contain wireless threats, eliminating the need for sensor access points.

空气波Optimizes Wi-Fi Health

Lorien使用Airwave来维持其Wi-Fi的整体健康状况。随着AirWave，它可以识别在连接性，应用质量和​​射频覆盖率中断之前的问题。它使用AivWave监视客户行为，主动解决应用程序问题，并计划容量。

A Strong Foundation for Growth

With a strong focus on the residents' quality of life, and a growing use of technology to increase comfort and care, Lorien was named among the Best Nursing Homes in 2016 by U.S. News and World Reports.

"The Aruba network is working very well," says Bowman. "We are forward-thinking and we built our network architecture to be highly scalable, so we're prepared for future growth."

远程医疗是Lorien的业务的成长部分，因为远程监控允许临床医生在家里为老年人提供持续的照顾。通过远程监控和健康的无线网络，Lorien可以帮助居民在日常观看健康的信心时保持更长时间的家园。

“阿鲁巴网络很棒，”鲍曼说。“我强烈推荐阿鲁巴产品和阿鲁巴队。”
