Public Sector: The New Network is Healthcare

Meeting the expectation of the government’s healthcare reforms and making cost saving efficiencies are the two biggest challenges facing public sector healthcare today. Success calls for a multifaceted and coordinated approach to the delivery of new and affordable ways of working that improve patient outcomes.

Information is at the heart of your organization and exploiting it more effectively will help create the financial headroom you need to invest in patient outcomes. Whether it is getting vital patient data to the point of need, driving efficiency through shared services, or collaborating with an ever growing number of agencies, the ability to access reliable information, when and where it is needed becomes critical. In this context, information technology will be a major contributor to cost saving strategies and has the potential to radically change the patient experience.

Juniper’s infrastructure extends the range of opportunities and enriches the end user experience. We create networks that scale, are flexible, and are inherently secure. At the same time they reduce complexity, cost, and risk. Working with Juniper not only gives you access to fresh thinking and creative solutions, working with Juniper gives you access to networking innovation that is changing the world.

Junipers approach to networking strips out years of technical complexity, lowers operational risk, and is designed to significantly reduce total cost of ownership. It is an approach that has security and simplicity at its heart, and it makes the network an ideal platform for public healthcare innovation. Our sustainable approach to networking economics gives healthcare providers real options to save on costs and invest in better patient outcomes.

Collaborating with Juniper Networks will deliver tangible benefits for your organisation. These extend beyond the technology boundary as the Juniper network becomes a platform for innovation. A Juniper high performance, secure and cost-effective network allows you to introduce new and more efficient processes for your administrative functions. It also enables you to adopt a more creative approach to collaboration and the patient experience.

When Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust needed to upgrade their Local Area Network to deliver the performance, resilience and security demanded by an NHS Trust they turned to Juniper Networks as “the only supplier capable of delivering 10GB Ethernet over our existing fibre backbone”. The Juniper solution reduces the cost and complexity of managing the network and, because clinical applications run more efficiently, they can deliver better patient care.

There are many reasons why working with Juniper Networks makes sense:
• A public network built with Juniper technology has been independently verified as 30% to 40% cheaper to buy, and 25% to 30% cheaper to run.
• As part of your carbon reduction strategy, a Juniper network has been independently verified as using 35% to 40% less energy and requiring 40% to 50% less space.
• Our products are designed to be environmentally responsible across all phases of their life-cycle.
• Our solutions are based on an open platform allowing organisations to leverage their existing technology and protect investments already they have already made.
• Our sustainable approach to networking economics gives you real options to save on costs and reinvest scarce resources.
Juniper has a proven track record of delivering cost effective solutions for the healthcare sector.
