The Visiting Nurse Service of New York (VNSNY) has chosen NetMotion Wireless’ (News - Alert) Mobile Virtual Private Network (VPN) solution to provide home healthcare workforce with real time access to critical data and applications at the point of care.

 

The nurses, therapists and clinicians of VNSNY spend the majority of the day providing in-home healthcare to patients and traveling between patient locations. NetMotion Wireless explains that these clinicians require continuous, reliable connectivity to clinical records, applications and email via tablet PCs or laptops.

 

Mobility XE, NetMotion's Mobile VPN software, is used by over 2,500 VNSNY clinicians to improve productivity and connect securely to applications, roam seamlessly between multiple wireless networks, and maintain applications even when users move in and out of wireless coverage areas.

 

Randy Cleghorne, chief technology officer, VNSNY explained in a statement that, through the wireless deployment, the organization wanted to provide clinicians easy access to information without interfering with the primary job of patient care. NetMotion’s software helps the workforce stay reliably connected and productive, enabling team members to focus on their jobs, not the technology.

 

Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for NetMotion Wireless, Andy Willett pointed out that VNSNY is at the technological forefront in home health care delivery and patient care.

 

“We're pleased to help them enhance the productivity of their clinicians by simplifying network connection issues and providing centralized management tools to their IT department,” added Willett.

 

NetMotion is being used by some of the most well-recognized healthcare agencies in the country including the Mayo Clinic, the Marshfield Clinic, Lee Memorial Health System, St. Joseph's Hospital in Wisconsin, St. Luke's Episcopal Health System in Texas and many more.

 

VNSNY is a large not-for-profit home health care agency in the nation with nearly 10,000 care providers that make more than 2.2 million home visits per year throughout New York City and Westchester and Nassau counties to an average of more than 30,000 patients each day.
