RESOLUTE Partners, a leading provider of Guest Internet access and fixed wireless communications solutions for government and commercial applications has been selected to provide Patient and Guest Wi-Fi service throughout the VA San Diego Healthcare System, La Jolla Village Drive campus.
The service will provide access in public areas of the 296 bed San Diego facility including outpatient clinic areas, inpatient wards, Canteen, community living centers, chronic care wards, and the VHA library. Making Internet access readily available is one of the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs Patient and Family Centered Care Initiatives designed to create a positive, holistic experience for both patients and their families.
RESOLUTE will design and engineer the system to work within the unique VA medical environment, co-exist with medical infrastructure and support future expansion. RESOLUTE is trained to pay special attention to infectious disease control policies and other procedures unique to the hospital environment to limit risks during the installation process. RESOLUTE Partners will work closely with the medical staff to minimize any disruption or impact on staff activities and patient care. Once operational, RESOLUTE Partners will monitor the health of the network and provide all necessary ongoing service and support to keep the network up and running.
"The VA sees the Internet as way to enhance the quality of life for injured and disabled service members during a stay at a VA facility. It provides a way for these Veterans to remain in contact with family, friends, and loved ones. It also enables them to manage finances; seek employment; and research education and benefit opportunities online. For today's new Veterans, Internet access is a necessity RESOLUTE is pleased to provide." said Aaron Ezrilov, RESOLUTE Partners Director of Federal Solutions.
The network is scheduled to be completed and operational this February.
