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 Data to Help Reduce Readmission Rates in Heart Failure Patients, Surveys Intraoperative Imaging Modalities

By: via Business Wire

Vizient, Inc. today released its latest Medical Device Tech Watch, highlighting data to help reduce readmission rates in heart failure patients and providing a survey of intraoperative imaging modalities. In addition, this issue features one medical center’s journey to increase efficiencies by eliminating its manual “bill only” process for medical devices and products. The full Medical Device Tech Watch can be accessed here.

“The technologies we examine in Tech Watch focus on improving the patient experience and outcomes, reducing the cost to serve, and enabling operations through technology and data,” said Debbie Schuhardt, senior principal, Vizient. “As the healthcare industry evolves and invests in the future, it’s clear that technology and data insights will continue to provide the foundation for providers to meet the needs of their patients.”

This edition contains five articles including:

Reducing heart failure readmissions to improve patient outcomes—Transitioning certain patient- and follow-up care to remote monitoring and assessment for heart failure (HF) patients can reduce the potential for readmissions and free up valuable clinician time and resources for other higher acuity departments. The Vizient Clinical Data Base provides an analysis of more than 380,000 HF patients’ length of stay and average patient cost of care, highlighting opportunities for improved post-discharge practices and reduced readmission rates.

Intraoperative advanced imaging: clinical, financial and operational considerations for adoption—Advances in imaging modalities make near real-time intraoperative images a reality, allowing surgeons to enhance precision, improve quality and outcomes, and decrease the need for surgical revisions. This article provides a survey of intraoperative MRI, CT and ultrasound technologies, reviewing clinical, operational and financial considerations for each. While there is currently no additional reimbursement for the advanced technology, the article lays out strategic considerations for adoption, including increased procedure adoption and staff recruitment.

Transforming the implant bill-only process—When surgeons order implant products that are not pre-purchased, supply chain teams often have difficulty reconciling billing and accounting. These unresolved issues waste significant time for staff who must research and correct discrepancies. One university medical center sought to resolve implant billing issues using a cloud-based platform to automate case usage import from the EMR to the ERP. The result? The center reduced case-date-to-purchase-order-date-time by 70% and reduced bill-only invoice holds by 50%.
