Connectivity for physical therapy clinics

Plans of care, home exercise programs and remote visits. Appointments, records and payments all run on the connection, and customers notice the moment it fails.

Internet, wireless and security for physical therapy clinics

Each of the three has to be right, and they are usually bought from different companies. We compare them together.

Internet

Documentation and video visits need dependable bandwidth.

Wireless

Therapists chart on tablets across the gym floor.

Security

Patient records require privacy safeguards.

The video visit that kept freezing

By the Telecom Agency advisory team

Remote sessions let therapists see patients who cannot travel. On the clinic's connection the video stalls, and a session about movement becomes a session about waiting.

What a consultant changes

An advisor finds service with the upload speed video depends on, and Wi-Fi that covers the whole gym floor so therapists can chart beside the patient. Telecom Agency knows which providers serve the address and how each performs, which is hard to learn from an advertisement.
