Wavelink launches health practice
Enterprise mobility and unified communications specialist Wavelink has appointed Paul Craven to head a new Health Practice.
A company statement said that the Health Practice will focus on “bringing together solutions for Wavelink’s partners targeting public hospitals, private healthcare groups and aged-care facilities across Australia and New Zealand”.
Wavelink said the premise of the practice is to build solutions from use cases that improve patient care and drive operational efficiency.
Examples include location-based services, duress, surveillance and workflow management.
“The healthcare sector continues to make significant investment in IT. In the aged-care sector alone there are currently 190,000 beds in Australia with an additional 82,000 beds expected to be required by 2022,” said Craven.
“With the ratio of staff-to-beds not currently mandated, and increased pressure on staff due to the growing number of highly dependent residents, the need for solutions specifically targeted at this sector is huge.”
