Wireless Solution

The National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Background: The National Institutes of Health (NIH) had been dedicated to advancing medicine through research since it was founded in 1887. In August 2004, construction was completed on the Mark O. Hatfield Clinical Research Center (CRC), a 242 bed hospital and research center, which totals 870,000 square feet. The new center is connected to the existing Warren Grant Magnuson Clinical Center to form the NIH Clinical Center, which is the world's largest clinical research complex. The CRC is designed to be state-of-the-art and flexible to bridge the gap between laboratory research and life-saving clinical applications.

The Challenge: The NIH realized that one of the best ways to integrate the research and clinical sides was to implement wireless devices that allowed researchers and caregivers to communicate with each other seamlessly and without interruption. More specifically, the NIH wanted to deploy wireless interpersonal communications devices, such as government-issued BlackBerry devices, to enable immediate communication among the CRC staff.

The hurdle the NIH faced was ensuring that radio frequency signals reached each staff member's interpersonal communication device, regardless of where they were in the building. Concrete, glass and other building materials can distort and block radio frequency signals, making wireless communication spotty or even unattainable.

The Solution: In 2005, the NIH announced that it would install the InnerWireless Medical-grade Wireless Utility, a wireless broadband infrastructure designed to distribute wireless signals throughout the facility and support a full range of wireless devices and future plans to utilize the system for 802.11 wireless data and two-way radios for first responder communications.

InnerWireless distributes all of the center's wireless services on a unified, managed system. This rationally engineered approach helped the NIH find a more cost-effective solution to its communications challenges, eliminating the need to install and maintain multiple, discrete wireless systems.

InnerWireless was a subcontractor on this project to prime contractors SRA International, Inc., of Fairfax, VA clients in national security, civil government, healthcare and public health, and has long history of support for wireless technologies at the NIH.

With InnerWireless installed, the center had the capability to add numerous applications, including wireless patient monitoring devices, asset management and tracking (RFID), and personal paging devices that allow patients to directly contact clinical staff. These applications and devices can be deployed without the need to install a separate system for each application, and meet the center's future wireless needs.
