Datavalet Wifi Usage Steadily Increases within Healthcare Facilities.

Hospitals are seeing positive results from Datavalet wifi services in public and patient areas as a means to increase patient satisfaction and provide additional revenue streams.

26/01/09; Montreal: TravelNet Technologies announced today that their Datavalet wifi Internet solution is proving to be a successful value-added service for healthcare facilities. Hospitals that have deployed the Datavalet service are reporting a steady increase in the use of the wifi service in both patient and public areas.

“London Health Sciences Centre originally launched the Datavalet wifi service for patient and visitor Internet access across eight of our facilities in January 2007,” said Peter Gilbert, Director of Information Technology from London Health Sciences Centre in London, Ontario. “Since then, we’ve seen a consistent increase in the usage within public areas and patient rooms. For example, in this past year alone, our usage and associated revenue has grown over 200%.”

In a recent healthcare study conducted by the Healthcare and Information Management Society, respondents indicated that Internet access was one of the top five expectations which influenced their overall satisfaction with their healthcare facility. Internet access, specifically wireless, is becoming more and more of necessity in healthcare facilities to enhance the patient experience, improve communications and provide additional revenue streams. With over a decade of experience in visitor-based networking and a series of successful Canadian hospital deployments, the Datavalet solution is a proven managed service provider in the healthcare market for deploying, managing and supporting wifi services for patients, visitors and doctors.
