GE Marquette Unity Network General Information
The power of Information Integration
The Marquette Unity Network is a hospital communication link for the efficient sharing
of clinical information between cardiology, patient monitoring, hospital information, and
laboratory equipment. Available only from Marquette, it offers unprecedented convenience
and flexibility for acquiring, reviewing, and managing patient information.
Our network is built using industry-standard equipment. Using IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet)
cabling means that we can integrate our equipment with the network that you already have.
This allows us to use economies of scale when building the network. To use offtheshelf
hardware to build the system. Hardware that is used by mainstream computing vendors, and
technology that is driven by an entire industry. Hardware that is already familiar to your
networking specialists.
Industry standard communication protocols are used throughout as well. The Marquette
Unity Network uses protocols from the TCP/IP family. It's the same protocol family that is
used to connect millions of computers across the Internet, and most often used to connect
multi-vendor networks.
Our "industry standard" approach to networks allows us to build very large
networks of patient monitors, printers, central stations, etc. We have several
installations with over 100 connected bedside monitors - and the capacity for far larger
networks.
Marquette uses this network to seamlessly collect, store, and analyze data throughout
your health care system. To provide you with your patients' data where and when you need
it. So you can make informed decisions regarding patient care. |
