Business Wire
INX Inc., (NASDAQ:INXI) announced today that it
has begun implementing major network upgrades as part of a
multi-phase $2.75 million project with Overlake Hospital Medical
Center.
Overlake Hospital Medical Center is a 337-bed, nonprofit
regional medical center offering a full range of advanced medical
services to the Puget Sound Region of Washington State. Overlake
employs nearly 2,400 people with more than 1,000 active and
courtesy physicians on staff. The hospital has been ranked as a top
100 heart program in the country and is distinguished for its
cardiac and award winning surgical services, receiving
many awards and recognitions both regionally and
nationally.
Overlake needed to leverage a secure, highly reliable network to
scale and support its business continuity goals to more effectively
provide its high level of services to its patients. With over 2,200
end users at Overlake, its legacy network was in need of an upgrade
to ensure a strong foundation for the stack of strategic business
initiatives and application improvements that Overlake was counting
on to ensure better patient care and stay ahead of the competition.
Overlake contracted INX to undertake a massive consulting endeavor
to map their existing and future business needs to the technology
that would provide the least business risk and the most impact.
With plans to transition into a paperless healthcare organization
and a new deployment of a major new version of their electronic
medical records (EMR) in the works, Overlake partnered with INX to
design and deploy a network built for redundancy, continuity,
reliability and high-availability wireless connectivity.
After assessing the existing environment, INX teamed with both
technical and operational Overlake staff following the envisioning
steps in the INX Strategic Delivery Framework (SDF) process. Using
Cisco Systems technologies, INX implemented a solution that
addressed all the network requirements while incorporating parallel
initiatives to improve the clinical collaboration/workflow and
support data center and desk top virtualization.
INX implemented Cisco Nexus series switches into the network
core for 10 Gigabit infrastructure to support virtualization and
future growth. INX also implemented a Cisco unified wireless
solution and a pilot of mobile communications for key clinical
teams.
While the benefit to the IT organization has been substantial,
it is the benefit for the business where the more significant story
comes in. INX’s consulting efforts have documented more than 20
business operations, application integration points and other
operational impacts that will be enabled through the new network.
The road mapping encompassed detailed alignment of the business
strategy, the operational strategy and the technology strategy.
Joseph Wolfgram, Director of IT at Overlake said, “We are in the
midst of completely replacing our entire network here at Overlake
and have been fortunate enough to find great partners in INX. They
have saved me a ton of time and effort by managing the details and
providing a very solid process for us that undoubtedly saved much
angst among the staff for things like technology selection. It was
a good decision to bring INX in early on as these now interwoven
projects were being initiated.”
Ken Daugherty, INX’s Northwest Regional Vice President stated,
“Overlake Hospital is a thought leader in the healthcare space in
the Northwest and INX is pleased to be a valued partner in their
business.” Tony Kaperick, INX Healthcare Program Manager for INX’s
Northwest Region, added “Our partnership with Overlake is a great
example of the consulting engineering value that INX can bring to
our clients -- accelerating their efforts to improve patient care
and leveraging a highly reliable and scalable foundation to address
business objectives with the integration of game changing
technologies.”
INX’s linkage of the technical and operational requirements have
enabled the Overlake team to express confidence in their ability to
accelerate the organization's business initiatives and cost to
effectively further enable the mission of Overlake – “Medical
Excellence Everyday”.
