While I wanted to post this a few weeks back; however international travel and realizing the personal value and the stress of of what is happening day to day and hour to hour of special people in my life overcoming huge (no words can make this enough) events like pancreatic cancer took precedent. On the 21rst of this month, October (this forthcoming week) (will provide the links on Monday), the first ever healthcare web event event regarding "rightsizing" the wired and wireless network and the value proposition of 802.11n will be held by Aruba Networks www.arubanetworks.com with approved content from Aruba Networks via Integra Systems, Inc. www.integrasystems.org A lot of these type of events tend to spin into the technical, that is OK; as this where the healthcare space has played out before; but this will be different. This event will focus on the not only in a minor way the technical, but the financial and clinical differentiation via now the full approved/ratification of 802.11n (finally) on September 11, 2009. At the end of the day (no matter what the blessing is by standards), it is making and allowing the clinical care giver experience better,(decreasing the as I say, the "hassle factor") while ensuring the proper QoS, security, saving a lot of $$ to deploy and manage, while ensuring that this deployment strategy meets and exceeds that clinical requirements year ahead. However, also to keep in mind that each application will need to be looked at regarding the actual bandwidth requirements. That will become the important in our wireless and mobility model for our now and going forward thus changing healthcare delivery system via 2009 and beyond. Rightsizing the network via 802.11n will actually save $$ and deliver new practice models, never thought of before.
