Case Study: Saint Luke's Health System achieves seamless, secure wireless connectivity and reduces x‑ray processing from 30–45 minutes to 1.5 minutes with NetMotion Mobility

St. Luke’s Enhances Quality of Patient Care with NetMotion Mobility

Saint Luke's Health System, a large multi-state healthcare organization, was plagued by frequent dropped wireless connections for clinicians moving around and between facilities, causing VPN and application sessions to fail, re-entry of data, and delayed patient care. To address connectivity and HIPAA security concerns, Saint Luke's engaged NetMotion and deployed NetMotion Mobility.

NetMotion implemented NetMotion Mobility to provide seamless session persistence, central device management, and an added layer of network access control; clinicians now reconnect in often less than a second and IT can monitor or quarantine devices in real time. NetMotion’s solution eliminated dropped connections, delivered 24/7 real-time access to patient data, and cut x‑ray processing from 30–45 minutes to about 1.5 minutes—speeding diagnosis, treatment, and overall clinical productivity.
