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.

GoodRx Teams Up with AssistRx to Increase Provider Awareness of Simplified Specialty Medication and Treatment Initiation

The collaboration will provide physicians with improved access to speciality therapy and medication initiation solutions

GoodRx (Nasdaq: GDRX), a leading consumer-focused digital healthcare platform, today announced a new effort with AssistRx to bring broader awareness and access to branded and specialty medication therapy initiation. GoodRx will leverage its large provider reach to drive attention to AssistRx’s iAssist platform, which gives providers immediate access to a patient’s coverage, improved price transparency and the right prior authorization information.

Specialty therapy initiation, or the seemingly simple task of prescribing medication and treating a patient, can be an arduous process due to complex enrollment, step-edits and prior authorization requirements, with the industry standard for patient specialty therapy initiation averaging 14-20 days. What’s more, according to a 2021 survey from the American Medical Association, 93% of practicing physicians reported delays in care due to prior authorizations, and over 82% reported prior authorization led to treatment abandonment entirely. The new collaboration between GoodRx and AssistRx aims to reduce treatment delays by supporting provider awareness of the benefits of the iAssist platform and the automated, real-time information they need to initiate treatment.

“At GoodRx, we’re continuously seeking out new ways to make healthcare providers’ work easier and help eliminate the barriers many physicians face when connecting patients with the right treatment,” said Doug Hirsch, co-CEO and co-founder of GoodRx. “This new relationship with AssistRx will help providers know where to go when working through therapy initiation obstacles related to access, affordability, cost, and enrollment, ensuring more patients will be able to get the care they need, when they need it.”

AssistRx provides one of the most comprehensive specialty therapy initiation solutions in the industry, allowing healthcare providers to utilize the iAssist platform to reduce therapy delays for patients. They do this by powering provider offices with access to real-time patient and product-specific benefit information, as well as e-prescribing and manufacturer support services e-enrollment. GoodRx expects this collaboration to further deliver on its vision of making healthcare affordable and convenient for all Americans.

“Working with GoodRx supports our vision to transform lives through improved access to therapy,” said Jeff Spafford, CEO of AssistRx. “Through this work, we will be able to deliver our comprehensive therapy initiation solution, iAssist, to more healthcare providers across all specialties and, in the end, shorten the amount of time that it takes for a patient to get on the medication they need.”
