Healthcare

More than 30 doctor’s offices in the St. Louis metro area needed to upgrade their Wide Area Network (WAN) to fiber and find a voice solution that fit their needs better than their previous cookie cutter voice service.

Worldnet recommended and implemented a new fiber MPLS network and PRIs at every location, allowing for the potential future migration to SIP.

•      Upgraded bandwidth allows the doctor’s offices to handle electronic medical records for industry compliance
•      Improved network stability and scalability
•      Voice services are easier to manage and migrate
•      A platform is in place for future migration to SIP

In the medical industry it is hard to tell how much bandwidth is needed for the latest technology needs. Moving from T1’s to a fiber solution allows the doctor’s offices to scale up bandwidth when needed. Having the same provider at each location creates a secure HIPAA-compliant private network. Response time and efficiency when issues arise improve with the consistent support from the Worldnet team.

Voice services are a big factor in the healthcare industry. Keeping the voice services and data network independent of each other keeps the voice service operational if the data network connection fails and the data network operational if the voice service fails.
