Business Need
Valley Health wanted a reliable way to send 12lead electrocardiogram (EKG) data between ambulances and hospitals so that catheterization labs could be activated in advance of a patient’s arrival to treat patients sooner and minimize muscle damage during a heart attack.
Solution
Enable wireless, two-way transmission of EKG data, electronic health records and other lab tests using an IT architecture based on Dell PowerEdge* servers and Dell Latitude* tablets and laptops with Intel® vPro™ technology, implemented and managed by Dell partner The Corner Group.
Healthcare organizations have struggled for years to treat heart attacks faster. The period of time following an acute heart attack during which it is possible to reopen clogged arteries by inflating a tiny balloon at the site of the blockage before the heart is fatally damaged is known as the “golden 90 minutes.” Balloon angioplasty is the most time-critical process in all of medicine—and can cut a patient’s risk of dying by 40 percent.
