BROOMFIELD, Colo., April 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Level 3 Communications, Inc. (NYSE: LVLT) today announced that it has been selected by Collaborative Telecare Networks (CTN), a provider of network connectivity for the healthcare industry, to improve the efficiency, security and reliability of the company's network capabilities.
Based in Denver, CTN offers healthcare organizations "enterprise-medical-grade" network connectivity. CTN will rely on Level 3's IP (Internet protocol) and colocation services to ensure these organizations have reliable, secure and scalable high-performance bandwidth access with minimal latency in support of their increasing data demands and emerging telemedicine applications.
"Collaborative Telecare is dedicated to ensuring healthcare providers have the bandwidth performance capabilities, redundancy and security necessary to support cutting-edge technology applications in telemedicine," said Steve Ward, CEO of Collaborative Telecare Networks. "Level 3's advanced IP services are industry leading in terms of latency performance. They enable us to provide a better customer experience and provide us access to a truly global network backbone capable of expanding as our customer base and needs grow."
The emergence of telemedicine applications is changing the way healthcare organizations provide medical services, increasing the need for network solutions that are capable of ensuring low-latency, secure and redundant connectivity. Moreover, the healthcare industry is in the middle of a fundamental transformation in the way it stores, shares and manages patient information, medical research, telemedicine applications and other medical data. The industry continues to struggle with the demands of explosive data growth as it attempts to transition patient information to digital data that can be stored and shared seamlessly over communications networks. The federal government's HITECH (Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health) Act has incentivized the transition to electronic health records and included time-bound conditions in order to promote the swift, widespread adoption of and conversion to digital health information.
"Given the advances being made today in mobile healthcare and telemedicine, healthcare organizations increasingly need network partners that can help them deliver critical services as efficiently and securely as possible, while ensuring their ability to scale to meet any future demand," said Karl Strohmeyer, senior vice president of Sales for Level 3. "Level 3's network is uniquely designed to provide the communications solutions necessary for healthcare organizations to remain nimble, grow and succeed in this dynamic industry, and we are delighted to work with Collaborative Telecare Networks to help support their healthcare customers."
