Wednesday August 25th, 2010Security as a managed service
Belgacom monitors and manages network for Emmaüs
The firewall that controls the network access for Emmaüs is located at a Belgacom datacenter. The healthcare group purchases the security as a managed service. Thanks to this approach, Emmaüs - with hospitals and care facilities at over 20 locations, chiefly in the province of Antwerp - always has access to the most up-to-date solution, without having to invest in additional internal expertise. The managed service delivers improved performance of the IT-environment for the employees thanks to secure Internet access on-site and secure VPN-access remotely.

Thursday July 15th, 2010Videoconferencing applied to the healthcare sector
Experiences of the St. Elisabeth Clinic in Namur and the Maria Middelares Academic Hospital in Ghent
In the field of healthcare, videoconferencing has become an essential structural solution for meeting the growing need for multidisciplinary meetings, both inside and outside the hospital. At the same time, the rationalization of resources, the workload, mobility problems and the loss of time due to travel are just a few reasons for resorting to videoconferencing.
During the ICT Healthcare Seminar, two hospitals presented their experiences in this area.
Representing the St. Elizabeth Clinic in Namur, Project Manager Sophie Leruth discussed the applications of videoconferencing within her institution, and the methodology implemented for choosing the solution and for its adoption by future users.
Marc Monballieu, Information Technology and Communication Manager at the Maria Middelares Academic Hospital in Ghent, presented the initial results of a pilot project, a first in Belgium, which aims to actively involve GPs in multidisciplinary oncology meetings via videoconference.
