45 | University of Wisconsin-Whitewater | Education-Higher | "The University is using Cisco Cius tablets to improve class attendance via remote class participation. Students are able to set-up a WebEx video session should they miss a class (with a good reason, of course) or if class is canceled due to an emergency situation. Virtual classes have also proved a successful replacement to on-campus, in-person classes during campus closures. Outside of the classroom, students and teachers are able to stay in touch to coordinate activities, such as project meetings, via presence and group IM capabilities. Students can also conduct multiple-point video sessions for real-time project collaboration and document creation – it’s much easier to schedule a group meeting when you don’t all have to be in the same place. With the Cisco Cius, the University is offering a flexible learning experience that makes it easier for students to engage with classmates and professors outside of class, which has so far equated to speedier project time to completion and an improved quality of student deliverables. These are just three examples of the ways in which the Cisco Cius is delivering value to enterprise customers across various industries (and around the globe). As the business world becomes increasingly mobile, visual and virtual capabilities are no longer a “nice to have” – they are a must. As a powerful networking, voice, video and collaboration tool, the Cisco Cius offers organizations a way to achieve success and effectively usher their workplaces into the ‘Post PC’ era." | Cisco Cius | http://blogs.cisco.com/collaboration/cisco-cius-three-customers-share-their-perspective-on-why-they-need-an-enterprise-tablet/ | |||||||||||||||

When a physician receives a call about a patient, their first step is to review the patient’s medical record.

With the Cius, Palomar Pomerado Health is able to cut through the complexities of accessing patient data stored in multiple locations and provide secure and quick access to other healthcare specialists.

The new hospital systems includes a Cisco medical-grade network to provide both wired and wireless (Wi-Fi) network access; a real-time workforce management system from Nervecentre; and 11 Cisco Cius™ tablets, mobile collaboration tablets built for business, for use by each H@N co-ordinator at NUH. Highlights: According to the ACCA report, benefits delivered through the use of these technologies include: The reinvestment of £300,000 – equivalent to 8,000 hours – of additional clinical support into patient care asresult of the H@N coordinators' new mobile technology, which enables them to work on the wards and provide direct clinical care. Better utilisation of resources resulting in the identification of £97,000 of cash savings per annum through changing the shift patterns of clinical support workers. The Cisco Cius tablet and portable IP phones give care staff better access to the latest patient information outside traditional working hours, when expert physicians may not be physically present in the hospital. This helps to speed up treatments and reduce the length of hospital stays and has generated an estimated £292,000 in annual savings.
