Case Study: Austin Cancer Center speeds diagnosis and treatment with AT&T Network on Demand

Austin Cancer Center’s ondemand network supports fast diagnosis, giving patients peace of mind

Austin Cancer Center, a private cancer practice with 12 locations, needed a faster way to share very large PET scans, MRIs, and other digital medical images across its network. Its existing WAN was too slow to move these files during the day, forcing staff to send them after hours and delaying diagnosis and treatment. AT&T Business provided a networking solution based on AT&T Switched Ethernet Service with Network on Demand.

With AT&T Business Network on Demand, Austin Cancer Center can quickly scale bandwidth and securely send diagnostic files in real time, so doctors can view studies within minutes instead of days or weeks. The result has been faster diagnosis and treatment, improved workflows, and lower network costs, while helping keep patients’ care in-house and reducing anxiety through quicker results.
