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 Offers Findings on Patients and Families as Educators in Health Care

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. announced today the results of a survey that measured the prevalence of patients and families as educators in hospitals and academic medical centers. The survey, conducted in collaboration with the Institute for Patient- and Family-Centered Care, reveals areas of opportunity for health care organizations to develop sustainable and meaningful educational involvement of patients and families as a means to improve outcomes in quality and patient experiences of care.

“We know hospitals that partner with patients and families in quality, safety and operational improvement efforts reap the rewards of those efforts, but not much is known about their impact as educators,” said Kellie Goodson, Performance Improvement Program director for Vizient. “This first of its kind study provides foundational knowledge about how health care institutions are partnering with patients and families in educating students, trainees and healthcare professionals.”

The survey found that 54% of respondents had involved patients and families when educating staff, clinicians, and organizational leaders. When it comes to the education of students and trainees such as medical and nursing students, residents, allied health students, 41% of academic medical center respondents had involved patients and families. Health care organizations with longer and deeper experience working with patient and family advisors (PFAs) were more likely to partner with them in educational programming, and top performers provide support for their involvement including training, evaluations and reimbursement for expenses.

Survey data was collected in October and November of 2020 from 67 respondents who were grouped into academic medical centers and non-academic medical centers including teaching hospitals, community-based hospitals and specialty hospitals. The survey’s findings raise awareness of opportunities for PFAs to support educational activities that facilitate collaborative communication, coordination within teams and across disciplines and authentic partnerships with patients and families.

PFAs are patients and family members who have received care at health care organizations and who partner with the organizations to improve health care quality, safety and the patient experience. By engaging PFAs, providers can effectively integrate patient and family feedback into strategic planning aimed at the safety of health care service delivery.
