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.

Community Health Systems’ Decade Long Commitment to Patient Safety Featured in NEJM Catalyst

More than ten years ago, hospitals affiliated with Community Health Systems, Inc. (NYSE: CYH) embarked on an important safety journey to deliver better outcomes for patients, reduce risk and liability and build trust in the communities they serve. Since then, the hospitals have achieved and maintained an 89% reduction in their Serious Safety Event Rate.

Today, NEJM Catalyst Innovations in Care Delivery, a peer-reviewed journal from the publishers of the New England Journal of Medicine dedicated to the latest innovations, big ideas and practical solutions for health care delivery transformation, recognized CHS’ accomplishments in an article published in its December issue.

The article chronicles the deployment of specific high-reliability leadership methods, human-error prevention behaviors, and a structured approach to cause analysis that directly resulted in reductions in medication errors, patient falls, healthcare-associated infections, procedural errors and other serious safety events.

CHS was one of the first healthcare organizations in the nation to create an AHRQ federally listed Patient Safety Organization, or PSO, to enable ongoing conversations and data analysis in a legally-protected environment to identify opportunities for continuous improvement. Through the PSO, CHS established a safety base-line in 2012 and began its journey to zero preventable harm.

“The catalyst in our journey to zero preventable harm was in analyzing baseline data for serious safety events and recognizing that preventable patient harm was occurring, similar to other health systems and consistent with reported trends,” says Lynn Simon, M.D., President, Healthcare Innovation and Chief Medical Officer of Community Health Systems. “Our goal became zero events of preventable harm, which we believe is possible and the only acceptable target to align with safety as a core value.”

“Ongoing Journey to Zero Preventable Harm,” authored by Dr. Simon and CHS Vice President and Patient Safety Officer Terrie Van Buren, details the numerous safety processes, training initiatives, behaviors and cause analysis programs deployed by CHS to drive sustainable results.

“Thousands of patients have been spared from harm because our clinical and support teams embraced the importance of keeping their patients safe and actively participated in the changes that were required to achieve these results,” says Dr. Simon. “Across CHS, safety is a core value embedded in the hearts and minds of our caregivers – a commitment that is constant, unchanging, and unyielding in the face of the latest trends or competing priorities.”
