Health

Hospitals and medical practices have a natural flow of external visitors and patients.  Whether it's a visiting physician, family visiting a patient or the patient themselves, people spend a lot of time at hospitals.  In today's healthcare environments, mobile staff working with wireless access have provided productivity gains for staff and ultimately a better service for patients.  With amigopod, health care institutions will be able to utilise that infrastructure to further simplify the management of external visitors as well as open up commercial opportunities to provide network access to patients and their visitors alike.  The security challenges are obvious, but the potential for offering services to visitors and patients is compelling.

amigopod provides a simple web based interface which allows your staff to easily and simply create, edit and manage visitor accounts.  With strict regulations and security controls enforced in healthcare environments, customers can be sure that amigopod operators can only manage visitor accounts based on strict and pre defined security policies.  This allows non technical staff to deliver value added services to patients and visitors alike without compromising network security or taking up valuable and typically limited IT resources.  By centralising visitor accounts on the amigopod radius database, it also ensures the complete separation of temporary visitor accounts from the internal user database such as Active Directory.

amigopod can be used to provision visitor accounts, generate scratch cards for handing out to long term patients or even run a commercial hotspot with real time credit card processing.  Its simple web based interface is designed specifically to be operated by non technical staff and automatically adhere to existing and centralised security policy.
