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.

Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers Unify on MEDITECH Expanse

Morris envisioned and executed a “picture-perfect” Expanse implementation and go-live.

Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers (Morris, IL) recently embarked on a journey to move from four-plus disparate healthcare solutions to one enterprise-wide EHR. With over 200 physicians and advanced practice professionals on its medical staff along with clinical operations across 27 locations in 12 communities, the organization’s priority was to stay independent while enabling more complete patient care across the board. With the Expanse EHR, they found a system that met their needs, along with an implementation that ran smoothly and under budget.

Morris’ implementation team formed a go-live command center and provided at-the-elbow support during the first two weeks of production. “Our clinicians transitioned to the new EHR without a negative impact on their workflow,” said Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers CIO John F. Wilcox. “We found great value in how the fully integrated EHR provided all members of the care team with greater visibility across the patient’s journey.” In addition, the organization’s revenue cycle process remained strong, as they never missed a financial statement and finished their fiscal year with a strong financial performance.

“I am so grateful for the way our implementation went,” said Wilcox. “With minimal disruptions, we were handling normal volumes and operations in under 90 days post go-live. We are not even a year in, and we are already undertaking optimization projects and participating in early adopter programs.”

Morris began their EHR selection process three years before their go-live, following their board directive to consolidate systems onto a unified platform. The organization underwent a complete system selection process to research available options and identify the long-term players in the healthcare market.

Leaders from the executive team, department heads, and provider physicians preferred Expanse following a thorough head-to-head comparison of each vendor’s solution. “We see MEDITECH Expanse as the product of the future,” Wilcox said. “MEDITECH presented a strong value proposition and foundation that we can build on as our organization continues to grow.”

Morris’ future plans include piloting Expanse Now to provide their physician team with greater mobility, as well as using their Surveillance solution to implement tool kits like sepsis early detection, and depression and suicide screening. They will also use patient registries to support their Accountable Care Organization, and a collaborative care model formed by their family care centers to provide behavioral healthcare services.

“I am honored that Morris Hospital and Healthcare selected our scalable EHR to support their goals for independence, innovation, and cost efficiency,” said MEDITECH Executive Vice President and COO Helen Waters. “We look forward to continuing our partnership and providing solutions that facilitate whole patient care in their communities today and in the future.”
