Great Plains Health Alliance Expands Medical Services for Patients Using Xirrus

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - (Business Wire) Xirrus®, the only Wi-Fi Power Play in the industry, announced today that the Great Plains Health Alliance (GPHA) has deployed Xirrus Wi-Fi Arrays throughout 20 Hospitals, 14 Clinics, and 5 offices across Kansas. This high performance Wi-Fi infrastructure is being used by GPHA's health professionals for VOIP and an electronic medical record system to increase communications and productivity.

Kerry Kellerman, Network Manager at GPHA, explains why Xirrus was the best option for their healthcare facilities: “We have 20 hospitals that are implementing an electronic medical record system and so we needed an enterprise class wireless network throughout the facilities that could handle VOIP, bedside charting for the record system, and all of the hand-held devices that are now being used. I looked at several products and decided on Xirrus because of their ability to use less equipment to cover more area than their competitors. Another perk was the central management system offered by Xirrus that allows us to centrally manage the Arrays in all 20 facilities and push out updates to them.”
