4G LTE: THE NEXTGENERATION VERIZON WIRELESS NETWORK FOR HEALTH CARE
A wireless revolution is underway that promises to transform how your business operates. Called 4G LTE, it’s the next-generation mobile broadband network available from Verizon Wireless. Things you once used wires and cables and landlines to do, you can do wirelessly on the fastest 4G network in America. Verizon 4G LTE will support download and upload rates up to 10 times faster than our existing 3G technology, giving your business a superior wireless experience. With it, you can access data-intensive applications, stream live video right from your mobile devices and more, which can change the way you communicate and collaborate.

HELP PATIENTS PARTICIPATE IN THEIR DISEASE MANAGEMENT.

Health-Care Monitoring
CHALLENGE

Caring for patients with chronic conditions, such as congestive heart failure (CHF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and diabetes, accounts for more than four-fifths of all health-care expenditures. Your benefits provider agency would like to offer a health and wellness program that includes tools to help members with chronic diseases participate in their own disease management, and also reduce your operating and care costs.
SOLUTION

+ Equip diabetic patients with Bluetooth®–enabled MyGlucoHealth blood glucose meters from Entra Health Systems. + Download the MyGlucoHealth application to patients’ and physicians’ smartphones, so patients can upload readings from the meter and receive results and analysis from their physicians across the Verizon Wireless network. + Provide patients with access to a Web-based browser, so they can review current and recent test results, as well as input weight, exercise and nutritional data. + Set up an automated online system so patients can receive alerts, testing and medication reminders.
RESULTS

+ Your agency is reducing both health-care and operating costs by enabling clinicians to identify issues before they become crises that require hospitalization. + Patients are more involved in the management of their disease, improving their own care, their satisfaction with your agency and their overall well-being. + Patients are also getting help when they need it, reducing complications and improving care.

KEEP YOUR MOBILE WORKERS CONNECTED TO THE INFORMATION THEY NEED.

Home-Based Care
CHALLENGE

As manager of a home health agency, you employ 75 nurses, therapists, medical social workers and home health aides who start their day long before they get to a patient’s door. Valuable time that could be devoted to patients is instead spent at the office getting assignments, directions and other information. To get caregivers on the road faster, you need to eliminate morning meetings and provide mobile access to critical information. You’d also like to reduce operating costs and make your entire operation more efficient.
SOLUTION

+ Equip mobile caregivers with smartphones and Verizon Wireless voice and data services so they stay connected to the office by email, voice, text or instant messaging. + Implement CellTrak’s home health-care and hospice solutions, which offer an end-toend, paperless system at the point of care.

BUSINESS SOLUTIONS | Health Care

RESULTS

+ Because home health workers no longer have to stop at the office before beginning their day, they have more time to spend with patients and can even make more visits per day. + You pay less overtime and don’t need to hire extra staff, now that workers can accomplish more in less time. And GPS directions mean reduced mileage expenses and fewer missed visits. + Access to automated data like patient instructions and addresses helps cut down on verbal and written errors. + You can adjust schedules and assignments on the fly without having to pick up a phone, and workflow stays streamlined and efficient. + Your workers process less paperwork, helping to increase efficiency and allowing them to concentrate on more important tasks. + The solutions also provide real-time staff schedules, patient-specific care plans and documentation of visit notes in the field.

COLLABORATE WITH SPECIALISTS REMOTELY, IN REAL TIME.

Telemedicine
CHALLENGE

Your major hospital and medical school is known for leadership in highly specialized diagnostic and treatment programs. You need to improve collaboration with the medical centers within your health-care system that don’t have cardiac specialists on staff, but without increasing travel expenses.
SOLUTION

+ Request a Verizon Telehealth Readiness Assessment and custom planning and design engagement to design, integrate and manage a platform that’s right for your hospital’s needs. + Implement integrated audio, visual and video communications from Verizon Telehealth Collaboration Services, for enterprise-level interconnectivity. + Employ immersive telepresence, room videoconferencing, desktop videoconferencing and personal videoconferencing solutions from Verizon Business working with Nortel and Polycom, to enable remote collaboration between: • Patients and physicians • Physicians and physicians • Community health centers and hospital centers of excellence • Medical educational facilities and hospitals • Hospitals, labs and agencies

RESULTS

+ Rather than traveling, your doctors can simply walk down the hall to a conference room to meet with colleagues or consult with patients via a video link. + The resulting savings in travel expenses are a major consideration in the hospital’s ROI analysis and sustainability plan. + You’re also providing better care for your patients, whether they’re being treated at an urban emergency room or a doctor’s office in a rural area. + Doctors who must travel can still conduct daily rounds with their intern team using Telehealth Collaboration Services. + Your hospital is able to generate revenue by expanding the cardiac diagnostics department and patient services. + The solution also helps your medical school meet its training needs, allowing large groups across multiple locations to virtually attend and participate in training sessions. This new approach to meetings improves attendance and helps increase productivity.

MONITOR YOUR PATIENT’S CONDITION FROM YOUR SMARTPHONE.

Mobile Health Care
CHALLENGE

As a physician with an expanding OB/GYN practice, it is important that you are able to conduct regular patient examinations at your office while still being able to monitor and react to the condition of a patient experiencing a difficult pregnancy who has checked into a hospital across town.
SOLUTION

+ Equip mobile health workers with smartphones and stations with Panasonic Toughbook C1 tablets embedded with Verizon Wireless Mobile Broadband Built-In. + Implement Airstrip OB so you can view vital patient waveform data directly from the labor-and-delivery unit in virtual real time on your smartphone across the Verizon Wireless network. Airstrip OB has a HIPAA-compliant authentication login, so your patient can rest assured that her information is kept secure.
RESULTS

+ You can closely monitor patients 24/7 even when the demands of your office hours require you to leave the labor-and-delivery unit periodically. + Additional patient information such as vital signs, historical data and nurses notes are also available, which allow you to react quickly to changing patient conditions.

IMPROVE CARE COLLABORATION ACROSS PATIENT NETWORKS.

Health Information Exchange
CHALLENGE

You’re an emergency room physician in a big-city hospital. You regularly see patients who aren’t in your hospital’s network, and they’re not always able to give you sufficient background information before you begin treatment. You need a solution that will let you access your patients’ medical histories, even if their regular care providers are out of network—or out of state. And that solution needs to be secure enough to keep you compliant with key industry regulations, such as HIPAA, the HITECH Act, U.S. FDA Title 21 and the PCI DSS, while also aiding efforts to meet Joint Commission Patient Safety Goals and other recommendations.
SOLUTION

+ Add a complete Verizon health information exchange (HIE) solution that provides interoperability between disparate hospital information systems (HIS) and electronic medical record (EMR) systems. + Enable two-way communications for e-prescribing, referrals, consultations, public health reporting and more.
RESULTS

+ You can pull clinical information from the HIE, which instantly delivers comprehensive patient data when and where it’s needed. + Information is delivered directly to your patient record system of choice. + With access to comprehensive medical histories and near real-time test results, you’re making better-informed decisions, providing continuity of care, reducing medical errors and improving patient outcomes. + You can also push information into the system, enhancing communication among caregivers and accurately and completely reconciling the use of medications across the continuum of care. + You’re providing faster, better-informed care and eliminating redundant tests and procedures, leading to increased patient satisfaction. + You’re more productive with real-time access to patient information, reducing test and wait scenarios. + Your patient’s data is staying private, and you’re remaining compliant with industry security regulations. + Verizon HIE solutions are cloud-based and delivered as a service, which means no hardware or software license costs.

MAKE PATIENT RECORDS AND INFORMATION MORE ACCESSIBLE.

Mobile Office
CHALLENGE

Your group health cooperative clinic offers a medical outreach program designed to provide health-care access to an underserved community in a rural area. Because the clinic manually records patient information, the information isn’t readily accessible to everyone who needs it, and charts sometimes contain inaccuracies or are incomplete. You need a way to make patient information more accurate and accessible, so you can provide the best care possible. And you also want the ability to capture charges at the point of care.
SOLUTION

+ Provide outreach clinicians with smartphones for email and patient-record access. + Implement Microsoft Office Communicator for secure internal instant messaging and Microsoft Exchange 2010 for email and collaboration. + Install a browser-based practice management system that includes patient files, medication histories and other information. + Use IQMax Clinical Suite to deliver patients’ health information to physicians at the point of care in real time via their smartphones. The suite connects physicians to patients’ latest, most current information for more accurate treatments.
RESULTS

+ Clinicians are providing better care with secure access to full patient information at the point of care. + Physicians can use the IQMax mobile dictation application to wirelessly transmit voice files to transcription, as well as the charge-capture application for capturing charges when and where treatment occurs. + You can reduce the possibility of medical errors by digitizing patient files and allowing staff to make electronic updates and dictations at the time and place of care. + With real-time access to collaboration tools, your clinicians are frequently consulting with other care providers, improving decision making and patient care. + Electronic records of time, billing and visits make it easier to verify compliance to industry regulations. + You can also increase revenues by capturing patient charges at the point of care.
