Case Study: Intermountain Healthcare reaches more patients with Verizon LTE Business Internet

See how Intermountain Healthcare reaches more patients with Mobile Mammography

Intermountain Healthcare faced significant challenges with its Mobile Mammography program, which aimed to increase breast cancer screening access across Utah. The program's vehicles could not transfer large mammogram image files from remote locations, forcing them to make costly daily roundtrips to a hospital or a limited number of expensive docking stations to upload data. This resulted in delayed test results for patients and high operational expenses for the healthcare provider. Intermountain Healthcare consulted with vendor Verizon to find a mobile connectivity solution.

Verizon implemented its LTE Business Internet service on the mobile mammography vehicles. This provided a fast, reliable cellular connection that allowed technicians to upload patient images directly from the field in near real-time, eliminating the need for physical travel to a docking station. The solution from Verizon streamlined operations, drastically reduced transportation costs, and enabled doctors to receive images faster, ultimately leading to quicker diagnoses and critical, life-saving early detection for patients.
