About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Vizient Medical Device Tech Watch Highlights Rapid Adoption of AI-Enabled Stroke Detection

By: via Business Wire

Data analysis from the Vizient, Inc. Clinical Data Base shows a rapid uptake in the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for detection of ischemic stroke. The data is highlighted in the latest edition of Vizient’s Medical Device Tech Watch. In addition, the publication offers insights on the shift of spine and orthopedics from hospital inpatient to ambulatory surgery centers as well as a perspective on improving surgical preference card management. The publication can be accessed here.

"This year has brought about many opportunities to partner strategically and collaborate across organizations to tackle obstacles in health care,” said Erik Axter, managing principal, physician preference, Vizient. “We are excited about the new technologies and solutions emerging to help solve these challenges and advance our industry, particularly in complex categories like cardiology and orthopedics.”

Featured articles include:

AI-enabled ischemic stroke detection, triage and notification—Quick intervention for an intracranial large-vessel occlusion (LVO), a common type of ischemic stroke, can improve patient outcomes. With the AI process, an interventionalist could conceivably receive the LVO image on their mobile phone, evaluate the scan and begin booking the procedure immediately. On October 1, 2020, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented a reimbursement policy for AI-based LVO detection. By the first quarter of 2021, analysis of the Vizient Clinical Data Base showed, the number of Vizient members using the AI technology doubled.

The shift to ambulatory orthopedic and spine procedures moves suppliers to ramp up provider support—ASC procedural volume continues to accelerate, fueled by CMS policy changes, commercial payer steerage, patient preference and pressure to reduce costs. Data from Sg2, a Vizient company, predicts outpatient hip and knee replacements to increase by 75% over the next several years. Manufacturers are responding to the current and future growth by expanding their service line and technology offerings to support ASC performance.

How one health system improved supply availability and accuracy by optimizing their surgical preference card database—Inaccurate surgical preference cards were negatively affecting surgeon and staff satisfaction and slowing turnaround times in the OR of a large academic medical. To address this issue, they developed a sustainable process for managing the cards, increasing staff confidence in their accuracy and ensuring the OR is properly equipped prior to each procedure, improving efficiency as well as patient safety.

Vizient Medical Device Tech Watch is a quarterly publication. Previous issues may be accessed here.
