The need for structured cabling in healthcare

The healthcare industry continues to face rapid change allowing doctors, patients, and health-care professionals to work together more easily regardless of their location. From blockchain technology to precision medicine and artificial intelligence, change in the healthcare system shows no signs of slowing down.

The environment for hospitals and healthcare facilities is a daunting one due to the numerous challenges related to the management of patient records and diagnostics data. Once data is created it must be transmitted, verified, managed, and properly stored in a secure manner. This requires not only an effective network backbone with the bandwidth and hardware to support these challenges but a thorough knowledge of the healthcare environment.

AT NCS, we take the time to understand regulations and standards regarding such issues as:

Strict levels of data security
Overheating of cabling systems
The integration of multiple devices and applications on a network
Data transmission speeds required for equipment, like an MRI or telemedicine
Route diversity to create separate pathways from different rooms like the equipment room to the entrance facility

Our years in the healthcare industry have allowed us to handle any application known. From physician order entry systems, laboratory and radiology information, image archiving, and communication systems.

Since a hospital is a 24/7 working environment, they are one of the most demanding cabling systems on the market today. This makes it is vital to select the appropriate cabling system based on today’s demands as well as the foreseeable future.

Wireless and Wi-Fi

Allow doctors to access data and contact patients on the go. Our cost-effective, secure solutions provide superior performance and uninterrupted coverage for tablets and mobile phones throughout.
