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.

MEDITECH Integrates Ambient Listening into Expanse EHR

By: via Business Wire

Multiple health systems look to leverage generative AI to mitigate clinician burden.

MEDITECH is taking further steps toward reducing the clinician documentation burden by integrating ambient listening technology into its Expanse EHR. The AI-based solution, currently being deployed at several sites, integrates MEDITECH’s web-based Expanse EHR and multiple voice assistant vendors. By taking advantage of large language models and natural language processing, clinicians can leverage ambient listening workflows to digitally scribe — significantly reducing the time it takes to document patient encounters.

MEDITECH’s vendor-agnostic approach enables Expanse users to launch directly into an ambient listening vendor through various methods, whether via mobile devices, desktop applications, or browser extensions. The ambient listening vendor records the conversation and automatically generates the appropriate clinical visit notes. MEDITECH believes that keeping humans in the loop is an essential piece of the AI puzzle, so clinicians are then provided the option to review, edit, and approve the note within the ambient listening solution using voice, typing, or macros, and incorporate this data within the appropriate documentation fields in the Expanse EHR.

Two of the first sites to implement ambient listening with MEDITECH will leverage Suki Assistant, which was first announced as a member of the MEDITECH Alliance in September.

St. Mary’s Healthcare (Amsterdam, NY) is a local, independent healthcare provider integrating ambient listening into their MEDITECH Expanse EHR.

“Investing in innovation is a strategic priority at St. Mary’s Healthcare, especially when that investment delivers significant advantages for patients and providers,” said St. Mary’s Healthcare Executive Director of Clinical Innovation and Transformation Julie Demaree. “Implementing ambient listening will free our providers to focus on their patients while AI technology securely documents the encounter. Time previously devoted to writing notes can be used to follow up with patients, while also fulfilling the equally important goal of enhancing our providers’ work-life balance.”

Decatur County Memorial Hospital (Greensburg, IN) is a local, county-owned healthcare provider that is also adopting ambient listening.

“We are very excited about the integration of ambient listening into our Expanse EHR, and the impact it will have on provider workflow,” said Decatur County Memorial Hospital Executive Director of Physician Practices and Support Services Amy Wickens. “The accumulated time savings from automated note generation is a great benefit to our providers and their patients, who will both enjoy improved satisfaction from increased face-to-face time during each encounter.”

One of the many benefits of MEDITECH���s open, cloud-based Expanse platform is the ability to easily collaborate with technology vendors to bring customers cutting-edge solutions, such as ambient listening.

“MEDITECH is committed to providing solutions that combat clinician burnout and improve clinician satisfaction and patient outcomes,” explains MEDITECH Director of Product Management Rebecca Lancaster. “Our testing is already showing measurable improvements in documentation time and quality, which translates to a significant impact on improving the physician and patient experience.”

MEDITECH will continue to extend the integration points between the Expanse EHR and third-party ambient listening vendors by leveraging FHIR APIs to support data consumption through the Expanse Now mobile app and web-based physician solutions. Development of integration with Augmedix and the Nuance DAX™ Copilot solution is underway. MEDITECH will later expand the functionality to nurses and home care staff.

Join MEDITECH in kiosk 71 at the HIMSS24 Interoperability Showcase, where MEDITECH will demonstrate its integrated ambient listening solution alongside Suki. Demonstration times are:

  • Tuesday, 3/12 at 2:30 pm
  • Wednesday, 3/13 at 3:30 pm
  • Thursday, 3/14 at 11:30 am
