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.

New Report from GoodRx Shows Positive Impact of Giving Pharmacists the Power to Prescribe

Analysis shows greater pharmacist prescribing authority dramatically improves patient access

GoodRx (NASDAQ: GDRX), a leading consumer-focused digital healthcare platform, today released a new report that indicates that policies that expand pharmacists’ prescribing and dispensing authority greatly improve access to critical medications. The average person sees their pharmacists nearly 12 times more frequently than their HCPs, creating an enormous opportunity to bridge current gaps in the healthcare system.

GoodRx Research examined the annual fill rate index from 2014-2022 for PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis), “the HIV prevention pill,” comparing states that have enacted policies that allow pharmacists to prescribe and dispense the medication to those that have not. In states that empower pharmacists, PrEP fills were significantly higher.

According to previous research, only 25% of those eligible for PrEP actually receive it, despite its strong efficacy. This lack of access, coupled with the ability to see the effect of state policies over multiple years, makes PrEP a valuable case study indicating that pharmacist prescribing power can improve access to prescription medications. A few states currently allow pharmacists to prescribe other medications, including birth control, smoking cessation medications, and medications for conditions such as asthma and diabetes.

“When access improves, as we saw with this study, so does adherence,” said Tori Marsh, MPH, Director of Research at GoodRx. “It’s exciting to think about what would be possible if more states enacted these policies. It’s good for patients, and it’s also good for providers who are suffering high rates of burnout and will benefit from their patients having additional ways to receive medications.”

Key takeaways include:

  • Expanding pharmacist prescriber authority for HIV PrEP medications significantly increased PrEP use.
  • PrEP fills grew 24% after 1 year and 110% after 2 years in states that passed pharmacist prescriber policies for PrEP, including Colorado, California, Maine, Nevada, Oregon, and Virginia.
  • Over 37 million people live in an under-resourced area. Expanding pharmacist prescriber authority in these areas could boost access to healthcare.

GoodRx Research also mapped all U.S. counties that have sufficient pharmacy access but lack access to primary care providers and/or low-cost health clinics. Over 37 million people live in an under-resourced area where pharmacist prescriber authority could expand access to healthcare and lead to better health outcomes.
