Success in action

Hospital makes patients (and their experience) better

Wirral University Teaching Hospital can now deliver the levels of service its patients demand – and meet future demands – using a new core-to-edge solution.

Challenge

Wirral’s aging, outage-prone wired network was expensive to maintain and couldn’t support mobile devices at patient bedsides, as well as other emerging technologies to enhance patient experience.

Solution

Wirral leveraged HPE expertise to deploy an integrated HPE and Aruba core-to-edge network solution with zero downtime for maximum patient impact.

“The HPE Pointnext Services team actively engages in knowledge transfer to empower our internal team on how to manage and get the most out of the solution.”

Phil Scott, Delivery Manager Head of Informatics, Wirral University Teaching Hospital

Result

The new core-to-edge network solution has maximised electronic records, ensured a seamless experience and knowledge transfer, minimised downtime and disruptions, and prepared for future growth.
