Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford Expansion
Challenge
Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital (LPCH) was in need of a robust technology infrastructure. The hospital required a major upgrade in information systems and medical equipment. LPCH’s high standard of care and research put incredible demands on their telecommunications and network infrastructure. Not to mention that all of the hospital’s IT systems converged onto the network.
Solutions
TEECOM designed the telecommunications infrastructure using a standards-based approach to support all systems from legacy to the latest technology. The cabling plant was designed and built for the most rigorous and high-bandwidth applications the hospital could foresee, with room to grow. Throughout the hospital, digital wayfinding, patient room technology, Real-Time Location Systems, and a child-friendly broadcast studio enhance the daily lives of patients in a world class care environment.
Additionally, the hospital boasts over 3.5 acres of gardens, where Movie Night in the Emerald Garden is held on warm evenings. Thanks to an entertainment system of TEECOM’s design, with a huge inflatable movie screen, patients, visitors, and families are able to view movies from the lawn in rows of terraced seating.
