vCom Success Story - Stanford Hospital & Clinics
Background

Stanford Hospital & Clinics (SHC) is known worldwide for
advanced patient care provided by its physicians and staff, particularly
for the treatment of complex disorders in areas such as cardiac care,
cancer treatment, neurosciences, surgery, and organ transplants. SHC
is consistently ranked among the top institutions in the U.S. News &
World Report annual list of “America’s Best Hospitals”. “Our IT group       Challenge
is charged with leveraging technology to benefit patients, ensuring
                                                                            •	   Manage multiple carrier network

The Challenge
                                                                            Solution
Stanford Hospital & Clinics’ IT department provides support and             •	   Consolidate management of voice

network; electronic health record systems; and other clinical                    data services to support telemedicine
                                                                                 initiative

all carrier relationships directly – ordering, implementing, and            •	   Design, source and implement fully-
                                                                                 redundant network architecture
providing service and support. Costs, billing and contract validation
were hard to control; while reconciliation of rates and inventory was       Benefits
almost impossible. When clinics moved or technology changed, it
                                                                            •	   An extended IT team consisting of

was needed, and what inventory to disconnect. With more than
                                                                            •	   A single invoice for all telecom
fifty monthly invoices, it was difficult to allocate costs to the various        expenses
business units. Consequently, those business unit leaders had trouble       •	   Cost and time savings due to the
controlling their budgets because they couldn’t see the details on the           visibility and automation provided
costs they were allocated.                                                       by vManager software

In addition to managing existing infrastructure, the IT team also
had a couple of major projects on the horizon. First, they wanted to
take on a new state-of-the-art telemedicine project to interconnect
multiple clinics to the hospital and to one another. They lacked the
internal resources to evaluate multiple network solutions to see which
would provide the best technology to deliver optimal bandwidth for
the initiative. Second, SHC needed to build a new advanced network
infrastructure, with full carrier fault-tolerance, as part of migrating
all its applications and data warehouses to three new geographically
diverse data centers.
The TRANSFORMATION

vCom’s initial project for SHC was to take over the management
of the voice and data services that connected all of the clinics.
This consolidated not only the billing, but also the complete
management of multiple carriers across the technologies employed
at each site. It also allowed SHC to automatically allocate costs
to the business unit leaders so they could better understand and
control costs.

                                The next project vCom completed
                                was to manage the implementation
                                of a high speed data network to
                                support the telemedicine project.
                                Finally, vCom worked with SHC
                                IT to architect, source, and manage    “vCom has a fantastic account team,
                                the implementation of the entire       project managers, engineers and
                                network infrastructure underlying      support structure. And the vManager

professional services team managed the carrier implementation
and migration with minimal disruption to SHC. “vCom                    		             Mike Henderson

team to lay out and execute the plan for a multi-site data center
migration, bridging the gap between the data center company and
the ISP, negotiating build schedules, and ensuring services were
delivered correctly,” said Elizabeth Williams, Technology Delivery
Manager. “I can’t imagine managing multiple telecom carriers
through a complex implementation, and making all of the pieces
of the project come together without vCom.”



   “Our vision is to leverage technology to improve the quality
   of care for our patients, and we are extremely selective in the
   partners we choose to help us execute that vision.
   vCom Solutions meets those high standards.”

   		              Carolyn Byerly,
   		              Chief Information Officer
The RESULTS

The vCom team is now an extension of SHC’s IT team,
providing specialized expertise in the latest technologies to
meet Stanford’s future business requirements, while pushing
the carriers to make solution enhancements on SHC’s behalf.
The new network architecture supports 100% uptime and
SHC’s stringent requirements for latency and redundancy.

vCom’s vManager software consolidates all of SHC’s telecom
expenses into a single invoice, and provides full visibility into
inventory and services. In addition to all the efficiency that
SHC has gained, and the associated soft-savings, this new-
found visibility has resulted in $33,000 in annual savings from
disconnecting unused lines alone. Automated GL coding and                   “vCom was instrumental in supporting

Stanford Hospital Telecom Transformation

  • 1. vCom Success Story - Stanford Hospital & Clinics Background Stanford Hospital & Clinics (SHC) is known worldwide for advanced patient care provided by its physicians and staff, particularly for the treatment of complex disorders in areas such as cardiac care, cancer treatment, neurosciences, surgery, and organ transplants. SHC is consistently ranked among the top institutions in the U.S. News & World Report annual list of “America’s Best Hospitals”. “Our IT group Challenge is charged with leveraging technology to benefit patients, ensuring • Manage multiple carrier network the best practices in the industry, and deploying the most sound • Track inventory and validate rates and cost-effective infrastructure,” says Carolyn Byerly, SHC’s Chief • 50+ invoices per month Information Officer, describing her team’s mission. • Limited resources for major network infrastructure projects The Challenge Solution Stanford Hospital & Clinics’ IT department provides support and • Consolidate management of voice connectivity to approximately fifty clinics in the San Francisco and data services under vCom Bay Area; supporting their access to the public switched telephone • Source and implement high-speed network; electronic health record systems; and other clinical data services to support telemedicine initiative applications from the hospital. Prior to vCom, SHC IT managed all carrier relationships directly – ordering, implementing, and • Design, source and implement fully- redundant network architecture providing service and support. Costs, billing and contract validation were hard to control; while reconciliation of rates and inventory was Benefits almost impossible. When clinics moved or technology changed, it • An extended IT team consisting of stressed the system further to determine and track what inventory vCom’s experts was needed, and what inventory to disconnect. With more than • A single invoice for all telecom fifty monthly invoices, it was difficult to allocate costs to the various expenses business units. Consequently, those business unit leaders had trouble • Cost and time savings due to the controlling their budgets because they couldn’t see the details on the visibility and automation provided costs they were allocated. by vManager software In addition to managing existing infrastructure, the IT team also had a couple of major projects on the horizon. First, they wanted to take on a new state-of-the-art telemedicine project to interconnect multiple clinics to the hospital and to one another. They lacked the internal resources to evaluate multiple network solutions to see which would provide the best technology to deliver optimal bandwidth for the initiative. Second, SHC needed to build a new advanced network infrastructure, with full carrier fault-tolerance, as part of migrating all its applications and data warehouses to three new geographically diverse data centers.
  • 2. The TRANSFORMATION vCom’s initial project for SHC was to take over the management of the voice and data services that connected all of the clinics. This consolidated not only the billing, but also the complete management of multiple carriers across the technologies employed at each site. It also allowed SHC to automatically allocate costs to the business unit leaders so they could better understand and control costs. The next project vCom completed was to manage the implementation of a high speed data network to support the telemedicine project. Finally, vCom worked with SHC IT to architect, source, and manage “vCom has a fantastic account team, the implementation of the entire project managers, engineers and network infrastructure underlying support structure. And the vManager more than 100 clinical applications. tool is fantastic for providing usage and vCom’s engineering and design inventory trends for my management team formulated a fully-redundant and fault tolerant solution. Its and other departments.” professional services team managed the carrier implementation and migration with minimal disruption to SHC. “vCom Mike Henderson collaborated with our IT consultants and the SHC internal Unified Communications Manager team to lay out and execute the plan for a multi-site data center migration, bridging the gap between the data center company and the ISP, negotiating build schedules, and ensuring services were delivered correctly,” said Elizabeth Williams, Technology Delivery Manager. “I can’t imagine managing multiple telecom carriers through a complex implementation, and making all of the pieces of the project come together without vCom.” “Our vision is to leverage technology to improve the quality of care for our patients, and we are extremely selective in the partners we choose to help us execute that vision. vCom Solutions meets those high standards.” Carolyn Byerly, Chief Information Officer
  • 3. The RESULTS The vCom team is now an extension of SHC’s IT team, providing specialized expertise in the latest technologies to meet Stanford’s future business requirements, while pushing the carriers to make solution enhancements on SHC’s behalf. The new network architecture supports 100% uptime and SHC’s stringent requirements for latency and redundancy. vCom’s vManager software consolidates all of SHC’s telecom expenses into a single invoice, and provides full visibility into inventory and services. In addition to all the efficiency that SHC has gained, and the associated soft-savings, this new- found visibility has resulted in $33,000 in annual savings from disconnecting unused lines alone. Automated GL coding and “vCom was instrumental in supporting AP posting saves time and empowers business unit leaders to our network implementation.
