фыва Cisco, Palomar Health Collaborate on 'Hospital of the Future' in San Diego
On Aug. 19, San Diego's Palomar Health opened its 288-bed Palomar Medical Center, featuring several technologies from Cisco Systems. The largest health district in California, Palomar Health serves more than 500,000 residents in the inland north San Diego area. Palomar Medical Center is a 740,000-square-foot facility with 1,700 health care providers and staff. Cisco and Palomar built out a virtual hospital in Second Life starting in 2008 while preparing for the opening of the real-life facility in August. The new hospital will incorporate technology such as body-worn sensors from Sotera Wireless, telepresence robots from IVCi and Cisco voice-over-IP phones instead of pagers. In addition, Cisco's Unified Computing Network will provide storage backup and virtualization. A 10-gigabit high-bandwidth network will allow the hospital to provide video, messaging, voice and images all on one network, Orlando Portale, chief innovation officer for Palomar Health, told eWEEK.
