In health care, there’s a diagnosis followed by a
treatment plan.
One could argue that the same basic process takes place in
most workplaces—we have to identify problems and then develop solutions in order to
maintain a healthy bottom line.
Health care is featured in this issue of
Solutions for Business
, due to the
Business Spotlight
on Guthrie County Hospital and Clinics
on pages 4 and 5. As more aspects of patient care
demand bandwidth, including the transmission of electronic health records and medical
imaging, more bandwidth is required. Panora Telco and Guthrie Center Communications
provide TLAN service to meet the growing bandwidth needs of these facilities.
Andy
Carson
, Combination Technician, participated in this TLAN project and is the topic of the
employee profile on page 5.
