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 Celebrates Over 1,000 Facility Participants in the Clinical Data Base

Vizient, Inc. today announces the Vizient Clinical Data Base® recently welcomed its 1,000th hospital participant, a milestone that marks its place as the definitive analytics platform for hospital performance and financial improvement. Vizient is the largest member-driven healthcare performance improvement company in the U.S. and serves more than half the nation’s healthcare providers.

“Through Vizient members providing patient outcomes data, a new level of transparency across healthcare has been achieved,” said Amanda Hooper, senior vice president, solutions strategy and analytics delivery. “Healthcare organizations are deriving insights from their peers, enabling them to improve their delivery of patient care.”

The Vizient Clinical Data Base (CDB) provides data on patient outcomes such as mortality, length of stay, complication and readmission rates, and hospital-acquired conditions. The data enables hospitals to benchmark against peers to reduce variation and identify and sustain performance improvements as well as expedite data collection to fulfill agency reporting requirements.

The CDB was created in the 1980s, with the initial providers being academic medical centers (AMCs). The purpose was to transparently share outcomes data to identify top performers and best practices. Today, over 1,050 hospitals, including 97% of the nation’s AMCs, participate in the CDB.

Today’s CDB provides benchmarking tools such as dashboards, simulation calculators and reporting capabilities and has additional tools to identify patient- and physician-level data. Most recently, the CDB, when paired with the patent pending Vizient Vulnerability Index™, which indexes social determinants of health data at the neighborhood level, can be leveraged to support members’ health equity strategies.

“This is an exciting time for participants in the Vizient Clinical Data Base,” Hooper said. “The amount of data continues to grow but just as importantly, so does the functionality.”
