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.

Willis Knighton Health Live with 132 Clinics on MEDITECH Expanse

Clinics and hospitals unified on one EHR platform for a single patient record across all facilities

Willis Knighton Health (Shreveport, LA) is now live with MEDITECH Expanse in its 132 clinics. The initiative established seamless integration across the organization’s care facilities and replaced three separate EHR systems that the clinics had previously used. The move to a shared platform between its ambulatory and acute facilities enables better care coordination, increased efficiencies, and improved outcomes.

Because the not-for-profit health system is the largest healthcare provider in northwest Louisiana, patients are likely to visit multiple care providers within the organization. Willis Knighton consists of four acute care hospitals and a rehabilitation institute as well as multiple clinics and outpatient locations that span the continuum of care.

“Providing a single, integrated EHR for our providers, caregivers, and patients is a foundation for improving digital technology at Willis Knighton Health. One of the concerns we’ve heard from patients is that they have to repeat information when visiting different providers,” said Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer of Information Technology Mark Galea. “This integration responds to that concern and supports access to the electronic records for all Willis Knighton locations and providers.”

Patients also benefit from the shared EHR platform by no longer having to undergo redundant tests when visiting different providers within the health system. Patients can view their test results and visit notes through a single patient portal. Clinicians can access all patient data in one place, thereby reducing administrative burden and saving time.

As part of the implementation, the clinics collaborated to standardize order sets and nursing and physician documentation templates, resulting in an expedited rollout across all their clinics. Additionally, the flexibility of Expanse has also enabled them to personalize workflows to meet the unique needs of their specialists.

The organization also implemented Expanse Oncology at its Cancer Center to automate practice management, scheduling, and infusion workflows. Implementing Expanse Oncology improves efficiency in patient care by ensuring that real-time information is shared between care teams when cancer patients require services at the hospital.

“Congratulations to Willis Knighton on the successful deployment of Expanse at its 132 clinics,” said MEDITECH EVP and COO Helen Waters. "This achievement underscores their unwavering commitment to exceptional patient care and lays a strong foundation for continued innovation and growth. Their commitment to patient-centered care, coupled with their dedication to standardizing best practices and empowering clinicians through personalized workflows, is truly commendable. We value our growing and collaborative partnership.”

To further its patient-centered care mission, Willis Knighton also recently went live with MEDITECH Expanse at its rehabilitation center, progressive care center, and skilled nursing facility.
