New Wireless Network
Enhances Patient Care
The new France Tower boasts the
latest in advanced technology —
including a new wireless network that
will help doctors and nurses increase
their productivity and accuracy. This is
just another example of Halifax
Health’s overall effort to embrace
technology that enhances patient
care, ensures safety, and creates a
more efficient workplace.
The new wireless network is provided by Meru Networks. It supports eHalifax, Halifax Health’s electronic health record initiative, by freeing clinicians to effectively manage clinical information in every patient setting, including the bedside. This flexibility creates a more positive experience for patients, families, doctors and nurses. The benefits of mobile computing include:
- Bedside registration
- Bedside medication verification
- Mobile radiology
- Mobile cardiology
- Wireless voice communications
- Remote video interpreting for hearing-impaired patients
Future initiatives include electronic patient signature, voice integration with nurse call systems, and enterprise asset management.
