Challenge: Enable Flexible, Secure Remote Connectivity

Hospitals face several challenges in providing flexible, secure and robust connectivity for medical devices, resulting in medical device information being improperly transmitted, stored or shared.

To improve patient care and transmission of critical device operational data, such as COVID-19 treatment, hospitals need a connectivity solution to overcome network infrastructure connection challenges and comply with network infrastructure security requirements.

Some of the connectivity challenges facing hospitals are:

• Finding a single source for a total hardware, cloud and on-premises device management solution
• Unifying and connecting varying device and network infrastructure technologies and unique configuration requirements
• Overcoming Wi-Fi connectivity issues, such as coverage gaps
• Dealing with outbound Internet connection limitations and security issues
• Meeting security and governance requirements, which can be unique for each hospital
• Providing secure remote device management capabilities to keep devices up to date with the ability to quickly address any issues that may arise with alerts and notifications
