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 Expanse Genomics and GenomOncology Integration Drives Targeted Cancer Treatments at Frederick Health

Clinicians experience a spike in suggested treatment changes and increase in precision medicine and clinical trial referrals.

Frederick Health (Frederick, MD) recently launched a first-of-its-kind precision medicine integration that enhances their decision support capabilities with intuitive recommendations that are tailored to the individual patient and their cancer’s specific characteristics. The integration between MEDITECH’s Expanse Genomics solution and GenomOncology's Precision Oncology Platform expands access to comprehensive precision medicine information within their Expanse EHR, including Expanse Oncology.

This groundbreaking integration allows clinicians - including oncologists, genetic counselors, and the clinical trials teams - to receive recommendations for therapies and clinical trials specifically designed to incorporate the mutational pathway, patient demographics, genetic history, and additional clinical information. Clinicians can also leverage up-to-date key genetic information, including interpretations and hotspot details. The advanced data and clinical recommendations are embedded directly within the clinicians’ workflows to drive true precision care.

“We continue to enhance our Precision Medicine & Genetics program through Expanse Genomics and now our partnership with GenomOncology’s platform, including treatment options with clinical trials and approved therapies,” said Frederick Health Vice President and CIO Jackie Rice. “This capability is a differentiator in the healthcare market and has allowed us to empower our clinicians with enhanced decision support capabilities that help them to carry out our mission of positively impacting the well-being of every individual in our community.”

Since their launch, the impact on Frederick Health patients has been astounding. In the first six months, Frederick Health recorded 96 patients who received a treatment change based on the advanced recommendations that target the genetics of each patient’s individual cancer. Clinicians can easily opt to implement these suggested treatments, knowing they are identifying the right treatment plan the first time.

Clinical trial referrals have skyrocketed, with Frederick Health noting 56 new referrals to their own clinical trials program within the first six months. Previously, the organization only averaged two clinical trial referrals in the six months prior to go-live. Having this information readily accessible to clinicians allows them to seek alternate treatment options, including clinical trials hosted by Frederick Health, which could both prove lifesaving and allow them to continue to treat patients in-house.

“We are excited to share the very positive results Frederick Health is experiencing shortly after implementing this first-of-its-kind Expanse Genomics and GenomOncology Precision Oncology Platform,” said MEDITECH’s Manager of Product Management Jennifer Ford. “This integration marries the vast amount of data in the EHR with the latest precision oncology insights, allowing clinicians to view and act upon specifically matched therapies and clinical trials, all within their everyday EHR workflow. The incorporation of true precision medicine within the EHR is already changing the way oncologists treat patients today, and promises better patient outcomes in the future.”

Clinicians have also reported greater satisfaction with processes. Based on user satisfaction surveys, there was a 36% improvement in clinician satisfaction with the process of selecting therapies and clinical trials, as well as a 33% improvement in satisfaction with the integration of the functions used for selecting therapies and clinical trials.

“Our collaboration with MEDITECH and Frederick Health has delivered measurable improvements in precision oncology care, with 96 patients receiving optimized treatment plans and a remarkable increase in clinical trial referrals in just six months," said GenomOncology Vice President of Client Services Bryan Storch. "The GenomOncology Precision Oncology Platform, integrated with MEDITECH Expanse Genomics, is enabling Frederick Health clinicians to consistently identify and implement genetics-based treatment options, while significantly expanding access to potentially life-saving clinical trials. These results demonstrate how our combined technologies are transforming the way cancer care is delivered at the community level.”

Learn more about the Expanse Genomics solution and GenomOncology Precision Oncology integration in a 30-minute on-demand webinar where MEDITECH’s Manager of Clinical Product Management Jennifer Ford, and GenomOncology’s Vice President of Product Innovation James Cole, PhD, dive into how our integrated solutions empower clinicians and researchers to develop impactful treatment strategies.

Hear directly from Frederick Health at HIMSS25, where Clinical Director of Precision Medicine and Genetics Patricia Rice, and Vice President and CIO Jackie Rice will present Expanding Use Cases for Genomics: A Precision Medicine Update. Patricia will also participate in a panel discussion, “Patient-Driven Healthcare: How EHR Technology is Fueling the Precision Medicine Revolution,” in MEDITECH Booth #972 on Tuesday, March 4, at 11:30 a.m.
