Long-Term Healthcare Facilities Boost Business Continuity and Patient Care with CradlepointCradlepoint, the global leader in cellular networking solutions for distributed enterprises, announced today that Creative Solutions in Healthcare has chosen Cradlepoint to support highly secure, reliable, and manageable network connectivity at its long-term care facilities. High network availability is crucial to Creative Solutions in Healthcare's ability to access patients' medical data and history in real-time and network security is essential to maintaining HIPAA compliance.

Creative Solutions in Healthcare is the largest independent owner and operator of skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, and independent living facilities in Texas.

When a wired connection goes down, Cradlepoint automatically switches to cellular support with virtually no interruption in connectivity. For additional efficiency, Cradlepoint's Enterprise Cloud Manager centralizes configuration, monitoring and management of the network while layering the network with security applications. "Cradlepoint changed the game for our IT dpartment and enabled us to move 100% of our network to a cloud-based environment-an accomplishment that could not be achieved with unreliable connectivity," said Shawn Wiora, CIO and CISO at Creative Solutions in Healthcare.
