High-Speed Wi-Fi Systems that Support Mobile Tablets

These unified communications infrastructures are considered to be "latest greatest" technology suites because nurses and doctors are able to use a single, mobile tablet that serves all of their needs, without having to carry another device. Personal cell phone excluded.

The medical tablet is used "at the bedside," which improves the efficiency and accuracy of patient care delivery. The user can send and receive voice calls from and to the device, access and manage patient records, disseminate information digitally, and access authorized applications-including video and educational resources. Recent mobile tablet advancements in battery life, computing power, weight and screen-size have all made this "single computing device" concept a reality.

When deploying Wi-Fi mobility networks, Tall Umbrella uses the following core products. The entire system is highly reliable and considered medical grade. Critical care considerations have been taken into account at every level.

Tall Umbrella's high-speed, wireless access points (antennas) known as MultiCells^TM provide:

• More Bandwidth: Each access point delivers far superior bandwidth throughput capability - "a faster network" - roughly 28% higher bandwidth throughput than competitor's access points.
  
  
• Bandwidth Shaping: This dynamic and automatic technology is available only from Tall Umbrella, and addresses RF noise areas that are common in many healthcare facilities - and delivers additional bandwidth where it is needed most.
  
  
• Larger Coverage Area: A geographical coverage area proven to be in excess of coverage areas provided by other wireless access point providers.
  
  
• Unique Quality of Service (QoS) Controls: Typical networks can quickly reach capacity. When this occurs, users experience a slowdown in information access, calls that do not sound clear, and even a loss of information. With unique BandwidthMax technology from Tall Umbrella, large video files will not slow your network down, nor will MRIs or other large files. BandwidthMax helps prioritize traffic for ideal results.
  
  
• User Migration Without Dropping: A user can roam anywhere under the Tall Umbrella network coverage area of multiple Multi-Cells^TM without dropping the connection. Since most other WiFi networks do not have this technology, wireless "handoff-attempts" such as this result in lost connectivity...leading to dropped VoIP calls, loss of videoconference connections, and data corruption.
  
  
• Tall Umbrella Runs on Accepted Technology Standards: There is no proprietary technology required by end users, and therefore no obstacle to gaining access to the network with proper authorization or verified online billing. HIPAA compliance is managed through advanced encryption protocols, and EMR (and other patient file) access is only permitted through the use of authentication via the Wi-Fi network, not while on cellular mode.
  
  
• Fully Redundant Meshed Network With Centralized Management, But No Central Controller: The technology advances that Tall Umbrella has brought to market have created more reliable network coverage—so your staff stays connected even if one access point is unplugged accidentally or fails. In addition, Tall Umbrella's systems need fewer parts, and no controller. In most Wi-Fi network architectures, a controller serves to manage the access points, and presents a "single point of failure." Should the controller fail, all access points stop functioning throughout the facility—affecting every user. Tall Umbrella's advanced technology has no controller; since our access points function independently, we prevent 90% of the possible failures that other Wi-Fi systems encounter. Tall Umbrella's systems are also more eco-friendly because fewer hardware parts are needed, leading to fewer maintenance calls and associated costs.
  

Cloud Computing Systems that Support Mobile Tablet Systems

Cloud computing allows the applications running on the tablets to be provided with the lowest cost structure and least amount of hassle for IT staff members. Tall Umbrella's complete cloud offering, called RainMaker^TM, supports the use of mobile tablets and the applications that run on each. Our cloud suite supports our clients' existing applications via a cloud model. In addition, new applications running on Tall Umbrella's cloud can be provided to our clients in a flexible and economical way.

Tall Umbrella's cloud is comprehensive, encompassing all three categories of cloud (SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS ) applications, platforms and infrastructure. This assures our customers of the highest standards of flexibility and security...at the lowest cost.

All of Tall Umbrella's software systems are provided via a cloud-computing model. Cloud computing saves money and it allows customers to avoid major hardware capital expenditures up front, in advance of growth events. In the traditional model, firms pay a great deal for purchases, installation, and maintenance of hardware prior to the usage of that hardware. With Tall Umbrella's scalable cloud model, the software and hardware are only purchased as each is needed, and "trigger events" are used to alert the customer of the need for more hardware resources. New resources are provided on the fly via the cloud, and are dynamically available in minutes. This takes hardware purchases, set up, configuration, power, and training off of the shoulders of local IT managers-and places these responsibilities on Tall Umbrella. This saves a great deal of time for IT managers.

Tall Umbrella does all of the management of the software and hardware resources for the customer. We manage your software demands via RainMaker^TM, Tall Umbrella's suite of cloud computing technologies. Customers appreciate that the cloud model is the best way for their firm to keep the highest level of software and hardware resources running—at the lowest monthly cost.

Tall Umbrella customers also receive hardware as a part of the installation, which is included as part of the all-inclusive suite of systems (parts, applications and support) provided in our "rental model." This fee-based model frees our customers from both the burden of installing and maintaining hardware, as well as from cost of associated IT personnel. Further, the flat, all-inclusive monthly fee helps executives sleep better, knowing that no 'surprise fees' are part of the arrangement.

Secure Network Infrastructure Systems Integrated to the Wi-Fi Networks

Tall Umbrella owns all of its technology. Since no expensive third-party royalty fees or licenses are involved, we can price our suite competitively. Tall Umbrella's leading software application suite, the Smart Network Suite^TM(SNS), ensures the lowest initial cost and the lowest network maintenance cost for your business. The software console provides advanced business reporting on a wide array of activities from patient billing to voice calls placed. The "SNS" also provides customized business views of the entire network by grouping systems and applications together intelligently to manage them more effectively. The SNS^TM shows how the network infrastructure in each business unit is performing, provides business metrics from each part of the network, and even details of users' activities. The complete console gives network managers all of the required information to maintain the network at the lowest cost point, with more than 200 screens of technical detail—all provided in real-time.

Tall Umbrella has also taken another advanced step to simplify reporting for executives and managers, b y providing an easy "quick screen view" called The CEO Dashboard. This dashboard is a fully customizable, quick screen view of any/all aspects of your entire business, showing events as they happen—such as revenues and nurses' attendance, and any other key performance indicators that a manager needs. Custom CEO Dashboards are provided by Tall Umbrella's team, and changes are be done by Tall Umbrella or the executive, at the customer's request. Our Dashboard saves time by eliminating the need for managers to chase after information.

Some of the other features that SNS^TM provides are listed below:

• CEO Dashboard - Customized LIVE reporting
  
  
• Tracking availability
  
  
• Real-time monitoring
  
  
• Management of every device
  
  
• Real-time activity reporting
  
  
• Real-time activity billing.
  

Electronic Medical Records, EMR / EHR and Applications

Tall Umbrella's open source EMR (also referred to as electronic health records, EHR) is our version of the popular, free medical practice management, electronic medical records (EMR), prescription writing, and medical billing application. Tall Umbrella's EMR is licensed under the General Gnu Public License (General GPL). Prior to custom versions that Tall Umbrella will apply to your firms' specific needs, the "basic application suite" is a free open source replacement for medical applications such as Medical Manager, Health Pro, and Misys. It features support for EDI billing to clearing houses such as Availity, MD-Online, Capario and ZirMED using ANSI X12.

Medical claims and accounts receivable can also be managed through SQL-Ledger, which Tall Umbrella has customized for our clients. Calendar features include categories for appointment types, colors associated with appointment types, repeating appointments, and the ability to restrict appointments based on type. There are customizable medical encounter forms, support for voice recognition software, and electronic or scanned digital document management for records.

The open source community is dedicated to guarding the basic OpenEMR's status. The goal is to keep it as a free, open source software solution for medical practices. Its members are comprised of software developers, as well as physicians and those with extensive medical and billing knowledge, all with the common goal of making OpenEMR a viable alternative to its proprietary counterparts.
