When it comes to our healthcare, the last thing anybody wants to hear about is the variety of difficulties organizations charged with our well-being are forced to deal with. In the same way most of us don’t really want to know what’s in a hot dog, we’d likely be unnerved by hearing the stories of what’s happening behind the scenes at a hospital near you.

Fortunately, many healthcare providers are finding things easier to deal with, thanks to the addition of wireless technology placed throughout their facilities.

To help uncover much of what’s available to these healthcare providers in this new wireless world, today’s Polycom on Demand features our conversation with Polycom Service Marketing Specialist Jonathan Cherry.

In addition to its curriculum, staff, and unique global focus, Fuqua stays ahead of the pack by incorporating new technologies into the school’s business practice.
