IP-based Network Connects MetroHealth with Partners April 17, 2007 Quincy, MA. – Videré Conferencing a leading provider of video, audio and AV integration solutions, announced today that it has assisted The MetroHealth System, a leading provider of health services in Cleveland and northern Ohio, with the design and implementation of an IP-based video conferencing system. Videré designed and implemented a conference room for MetroHealth’s newly renovated Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, integrating video conferencing, audio conferencing and collaboration from a single source, securely through a protected link. In addition, Videré worked with MetroHealth’s network team to test the solution and then launch it for general use across the MetroHealth video conferencing network. Videré optimized every aspect of the project, from best practices development, to product selection, installation, training, maintenance and support. The move to IP-based conferencing allows MetroHealth to realize significant savings over an earlier approach using specialized ISDN lines which involved dedicated wiring, monthly telephone company charges, as well as long distance charges. The conversion enables MetroHealth to take advantage of the trend toward internet based video conferencing and expand the access of its medical professionals to organizations across the globe. “This conferencing and collaboration technology Providea introduced to MetroHealth provides a cost effective approach to programs for resident physician education and community outreach,” said Bob Ross group manager at MetroHealth System. “We selected Videré as our video conferencing system because of their experience and expertise, and we are already realizing the benefits of their technology insight and their understanding of the needs of organizations like MetroHealth.” “Videré’s goal was to provide the MetroHealth IT staff with the latest technology and engineering while at the same time addressing the needs of doctors and administrators who want to leverage this technology,” said Kent Ramsay, general manager of Videré’s Midwest region. “This is another example of Videré’s success in enabling organizations like The MetroHealth System do their jobs better through the power of today’s conferencing solutions.” Videré is now working with MetroHealth System on future plans that include mobile surgery video conferencing, adding video conferencing to conference rooms, desktop applications, and evaluating multipoint bridging alternatives.
