At SAMC, physicians and nurses use Wi-Fi devices (Fujitsu tablets, IBM and Dell laptops) that
allow them secure access to clinical information at patient bedside, in operating rooms and in
ancillary areas. With the Cisco secure wireless solution, clinicians benefit from WLAN technologies
to increase their productivity while keeping patient data private and secure, helping SAMC meet the
rigorous regulatory compliance demands.

“Our physicians and nurses are already demonstrating that the Cisco secure wireless network
provides them secure access to patient information (e.g. EMR and bedside charting applications),
and improves their interaction (via VoIP and mobile collaborative care applications) at the point of
patient care anywhere in the facility while maximizing their work efficiency” says Lapham.

The wireless network at SAMC extends beyond clinical areas, throughout business and
administration offices bringing the benefits of mobility even to non-clinical employees.

SAMC is also taking advantage of the guest access capabilities of the Cisco Unified Wireless
Network to provide internet connectivity to patients, visitors, visiting doctors, partners and vendors-
without compromising the security or performance of clinical applications. With guest access
capability, SAMC is able to offer their patients the capability to research and find medical
information on the web or to interact and keep in touch with their families. This provides a great
convenience for patients and the patients’ visitors. For visiting doctors, partners and vendors
access to network via guest access gives them the ability to be responsive and effective for their
own job functions.
