The Cisco Unified Wireless Network simplified network management for CDH, resulting in
significant time savings, streamlined work processes, and improved system performance. In the
past, the IT team had to position the standalone access points strategically to try to minimize
manual labor and network downtime. Malan says, “If we introduced a new mobile application, we
had to pull the access points down from the ceiling manually, get an electrician to work on the
cabling, and ensure that patients remained secure. Sometimes, roaming between access points
would be affected. Now, any changes are rolled out automatically from the controller, and the
reliability of the network is consistently high.”

Cisco’s support services and extensive partner network helped ensure the smooth deployment of a
completely integrated wireless network that can support mobile applications and devices from
multiple vendors. “During the migration project, the Cisco team practically lived on campus with us.
No other company stands behind its products like Cisco does,” says Malan. Currently, the network
supports McKesson and EPIC clinical applications, as well as numerous types of medical machines
and wireless devices. “The fact that Intel is part of Cisco’s Compatible Extensions Program, for
instance, reassured us that the IBM ThinkPads that we were using were going to be completely
interoperable with the Cisco network,” he says.

The Cisco Unified Wireless Network continues to play a significant role in helping CDH achieve
excellence in hospital communications, productivity, and patient care, which are the reasons for
CDH’s industry-wide recognition. “Over the past ten years, Cisco has played a crucial role in
helping us become innovative healthcare leaders,” says Dave Printz, CIO of CDH. Now, complete
Wi-Fi connectivity extends that innovation to all areas of the hospital. “Our nurses respond more
quickly and effectively to patient needs, patient records are more accurate, our hospital staff is
more productive, and patient and visitor experiences have been enhanced,” says Debra O'Donnell,
RN, the hospital’s CNO. Printz adds, “We credit Cisco with helping us deliver on our vision to
provide the highest quality patient care through the most innovative technology.”

The Cisco Unified Wireless Network now supports the hospital’s fast-paced growth plans well into
the future. Today, CDH has more than 500 wireless IP phones in place and is already working on
the future. Today, CDH has more than 500 wireless IP phones in place and is already working on
deploying 802.11n. “We now have the proper
architecture in place to support all of our mobile
applications today and to scale easily without worry,”
says Malan.

Next Steps
CDH has many future plans for the Cisco Unified
Wireless Network. The hospital is in the process of
evaluating the Rauland Borg Nurse Call system to
further improve communications and location-based
services to track equipment remotely. The 802.11n
network is already in the design stage. “We’ll need the
expanded bandwidth of the 802.11n network to support
heavy imaging files, such as CAT Scans.” CDH looks
forward to its continued working relationship with Cisco.
“The Cisco Unified Wireless Network will grow as far as
our imaginations will take us,” says Printz.
