Global Forum Achieves Technical Success With Dedicated Support Engineer Program 2007-11-01 Microsoft

The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum needed to be able to go into a venue and within 24 to 36 hours get the IT systems up and running.

To ensure successful IT operations, the APEC IT team turned to a Dedicated Support Engineer (DSE) from Microsoft Services. The DSE provided the IT team with the expertise it needed to quickly deal with emerging problems, identifying the root cause of the issue and solving it before it could affect operations.

Paramedics Use Tablet PCs to Send Patient Information to Hospitals During "Golden Hour" 0000-00-00 Microsoft

Healthcare authorities in Ireland and Dubai are commissioning mobile solutions in ambulances to help optimise use of the "Golden hour" after paramedics collect patients. Valentia Technologies has been commissioned by the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council of Ireland and the Dubai Ambulance Centre to deploy a solution for the real-time transmission of patient data from ambulances to hospitals. Using "Ruggedised" mobile tablet PCs and the Windows XP operating system, the solution works both on standard public mobile networks and TETRA. The solution gives emergency departments more visibility of inbound patients prior to arrival. Paramedics are relieved of the burden of paper records and receive a more structured patient-care workflow. Healthcare authorities can use the standardised data on pre-hospital emergency care practice for analysis and evaluation.
