“To give patients the best care possible, healthcare organizations must run efficiently, and real-time wireless communication is a powerful tool for meeting that challenge,” said John Maschenic, director of healthcare enterprise solutions for Verizon Wireless. “Mobile technology puts health information – whether it’s lab results, X-rays, patient medical history or prescription drug information – in the hands of clinicians when it’s needed, and Verizon Wireless proudly provides the nation’s most reliable 3G network to support access to this critical data.” Maschenic is presenting today at the HIMSS Conference at the “Telehealth and Mobility Solutions for Health Care” session at 3:15 p.m. EST in New Solutions Theater – Room 959. Verizon Wireless offers customers in the healthcare industry an extensive portfolio of products and services that run on the company’s reliable Evolution-Data Optimized (EV-DO) Revision A (Rev.
