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.

Transitioning From Quest Quanum to PracticeSuite Helps Physicians Avoid Major Disruption

TAMPA, Fla., Oct. 03, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quest’s Quanum EHR is being sunsetted at the end of this year. For many physicians, that date is too close for comfort. Quest made the announcement in January, but migrating to a new EHR is a major endeavor and some providers have still not begun the process.

The cost of switching software is one reason, with estimates ranging from $15K to $70K for an EHR implementation. Fear of disruption is another major factor, including choosing a new system, training clinicians and staff, and coping during the changeover (including lower productivity, staff frustration, and awkward patient interactions).

The decision to onboard a new EHR isn’t something to take lightly, and implementation can suffer if rushed. Several months is the minimum amount of time needed, which means physicians currently using Quanum have little time. Those who wait until November or December are likely to experience cashflow difficulties, patient disruptions, and staffing issues. In addition, they may not be able to properly track and report their performance to CMS during the changeover (MIPS), resulting in potential payment penalties.

“One of the worst mistakes physicians make when implementing an EHR is rushing the process,” says PracticeSuite VP of Sales Steve Johnson. “Having the foresight to begin the process now will serve you well in the long term.”

Rather than waiting or choosing a completely new vendor, many physicians are choosing to migrate to PracticeSuite. In addition to offering a highly customizable end-to-end medical office solution, PracticeSuite has partnered with Quest for the last five years. Quanum customers may not have been aware, but they were experiencing PracticeSuite’s claim management and billing module during that time.

That means PracticeSuite’s technical staff have unique insights into the needs of Quest’s EHR customers, making the transition rapid and painless. Importantly, PracticeSuite’s cloud-based platform lets physicians effortlessly stay up to date with new regulations and never have to worry about security concerns. PracticeSuite recently received SOC2 certification, the highest possible level of global data security.

“Constant change is the one thing you can count on in healthcare technology,” notes Deepesh Damodaran, PracticeSuite’s director of technology. “Our mission for the last 18 years has been providing tools that make patient care more effective so physicians can concentrate on what they’re trained to do.”

PracticeSuite provides the most straightforward onramp in switching EHR’s because many physicians using the Quanum EHR are already using the PracticeSuite practice management system.
