CTCA at Western Regional Medical Center, a 213,000-square-foot facility, resides on a 25-acre site in Goodyear, Ariz., near Phoenix. This hospital in the CTCA network relies on a high-speed networking solution designed by Qwest Communications to help deliver a fully integrated, patient-centered treatment experience that combines traditional, state-of-the-art medical treatments with scientifically supported complementary therapies.
Qwest and CTCA worked together to implement an advanced communications network that gives the CTCA patient care team reliable, real-time access to patient records, medical imaging and sophisticated health care applications. Supported by Qwest's all-digital network, CTCA at Western Regional Medical Center is the first fully "paperless" hospital in its network with an exclusively electronic records management system.
In addition to the wide-area network, a private fiber ring supports CTCA at Western Regional Medical Center to deliver a fully redundant, self-healing voice and data platform so doctors and staff can reliably transmit, digitally store and retrieve patient records almost instantaneously.
