So ‘crass’ is not my goal.<\/p>\n

\"GPON<\/p>\n

GPON in healthcare is.<\/h4>\n

And typically, I’d say,\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

‘I’m sorry.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n

Not this time.<\/p>\n

When was the last time you savored phlegm? Or thought, it was even almost close to a good idea?<\/p>\n

Not you, not any sane person ever.<\/p>\n

So why do you continue to default to traditional Ethernet networking<\/a>?<\/p>\n

Here are ten \u00a0signs<\/a> of phlegm\u00a0 in your healthcare Ethernet network design:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Electronic spikes or surges<\/li>\n
  2. Electromagnetic interference<\/li>\n
  3. Heat and freezing environments<\/li>\n
  4. Water and flooding<\/li>\n
  5. Costly local network redundancy<\/li>\n
  6. Power outages for extended time periods<\/li>\n
  7. Need for technology rooms\u00a0and larger switches<\/li>\n
  8. Larger Technology rooms<\/li>\n
  9. More IT staff to react to downtime<\/li>\n
  10. And more\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More<\/em> in the Ethernet networking world\u00a0 always equals more<\/strong> cost. Much more than GPON in healthcare.<\/p>\n

    Up to 80% more.<\/em><\/p>\n

    Isn’t it time to cough up the phlegm?<\/p>\n

    According to HIMSS Leadership survey<\/a>, the top three (3) priorities for the the healthcare industry are:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Information Security<\/li>\n
    2. Leveraging IT to improve clinical care<\/li>\n
    3. Financial viability<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      It’s a cryptic admission, I know.<\/p>\n

      But,<\/p>\n

      When decoded, they told the world what’s keeping them up at night.<\/p>\n

      It’s that silent scream.<\/p>\n

      ‘Come here,<\/em><\/p>\n

      Listen closely…\u00a0<\/em>“We ain’t happy. We gotta do somethin.’<\/em><\/p>\n

      Something that works comprehensively.<\/p>\n

      Holistically.<\/p>\n

      Something better than traditional Ethernet Networking.<\/em><\/p>\n

      I won’t go over the top with any silver bullet cure for healthcare’s woes.<\/p>\n

      GPON in healthcare is not a silver bullet<\/h4>\n

      But,<\/p>\n

      The Gigabit Passive Optical Network (GPON) could relieve much of the phlegm.<\/p>\n

      It’s akin to \u00a0knowing you need to lose weight, but you’re stuck in your horrendous eating habits.<\/p>\n

      You need an overhaul man.<\/p>\n

      Portion control, ratio of green vegetables to starchy foods considerations, some grains, an increase in H2O consumption, protein…<\/p>\n

      And yes,<\/p>\n

      Some exercise.\u00a0 Move that body.<\/em><\/p>\n

      And you know what?<\/p>\n

      You start to feel better. You \u00a0get<\/em> better.<\/p>\n

      Healthcare is starting to ride the \u00a0GPON wave. It makes sense why<\/a>.<\/p>\n

      Traditional networking is a lot like phlegm. All that hacking, coughing and sneezing and it just gets more costly to treat.<\/p>\n

      It’s crazy.<\/p>\n

      GPON in healthcare is the overhaul that CIOs need to help them meet their top three priorities.<\/h4>\n

      Some already know it.<\/p>\n

      But they are scared. Scared of \u00a0the change. Scared of the quantum leap. GPON in healthcare is a dare.<\/p>\n

      You may be afraid too.<\/p>\n

      It’s fear vs. phlegm.<\/p>\n
