Bluesocket adds three hospitals as customers

Feb 16, 2005 12:55 PM

Wi-Fi security and management vendor Bluesocket this week announced contracts with three hospitals, giving the company more than 100 healthcare-provider customers.

The new customers—Baptist Health, Mount Carmel Health and Palmetto Health—selected Dallas-based Bluesocket to provide secure, managed wireless LAN solutions that let their mobile staff members obtain healthcare information when and where they need it, based on each hospital’s access policies.

"Our end goals in implementing wireless networking were to improve drug delivery for thousands of our in-patients, avoid administration-related mistakes, and improve the productivity of our physicians and nurse practitioners,” Terry Sutter, Mount Carmel Health’s director of infrastructure and operations, said in a prepared statement.

Bluesocket currently claims more than 900 customers using its solutions from various enterprise sectors, including healthcare, education, hospitality, government and corporate organizations.
