Director
Norton Healthcare
Louisville, Kentucky
“By building the NOC and
the data center the way we
did, we were able to increase
our workload at least by 100
percent in the NOC without
increasing staff, and the
centralized monitoring
system has reduced help desk
calls by 20 percent.”
Doug Lauterback
Director of IS Imaging

Baycare Health System
Tampa Bay, Florida
“We knew early on that we
were going to go with Liebert
precision cooling from
Emerson Network Power,
and there are advantages
to using a single vendor
for the power and cooling
infrastructure.”

Altoona Hospital
Altoona, Pennsylvania
“All of a sudden the help
desk got quiet. The problems
that we were experiencing
because of the un-optimized
operating conditions just
ceased.”
“The hospital’s investment
in upgrading the system has
paid off immensely.”
Digital Hospital and Your ICT Infrastructure
INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUE
What Is Happening?
Progressive Healthcare Industry
 More and more devices are being used in the hospital space, bringing high density to the data center.
 Availability risks
Healthcare Challenge: Data Center “Hot Spots”
Impact Of Digitization
EMERSON SOLUTION
 Rapid deployment of blade servers to support and improve healthcare functions
- Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS)
- Electronic Health Medical Record Systems (EMR).
 Precision Cooling: The best way to counter hot spots
- Easy to deploy and moved to suit changing requirements and temperatures.
- Converts sensible heat to sensible cooling.
- No latent removal of heat that saves costly re-humidification
Liebert XD
Liebert XD refrigerant-based cooling modules work as a system to support the hot aisle/cold aisle
approach to high heat density data center cooling.
The modules provide focused rack cooling, complementing room-based precision cooling.

High heat-density cooling modules
Mount above, between or on racks
Use pumped refrigerant technology
Require little or no floorspace
IT is Everywhere
In almost all areas of the healthcare facility, IT devices are indispensable. These equipment all rely on
clean, continuous power to be able to address the critical needs of a healthcare system.
 Efficiency is being driven by the transition from Paper
to the Digital World
 Operations and support systems have become
dependent on digitization
 The Computer Room/ Data Center has shifted to the
core of operations
Space Constraints
Dynamic IT in these areas of the hospital:
 Image Stations
 PACS Imaging
 Operating Rooms
 Patient Rooms
 Nurse Stations
 Diagnostics Rooms
 Laboratories
 Pharmacy
 Hospital Administration
IT also used in:
 Hospital Information Systems (HIS)
 Electronic Medical Records (EMR)
 Procurement and Logistics Records
 HR and Payroll Administration
 Finance and Accounting Database
 VoIP, Wi-Fi, Mobile Networks
 Tele-Medicine using Video Conferencing and other
essential ICT devices

Access, Control and Management
Visibility at the Healthcare Facility
 Monitoring is a critical aspect in managing the data center infrastructure.
 IT managers are responsible for visibility of what’s going on in the data center, to ensure security and
continuity of the hospital’s IT system.
Healthcare Challenge: Predictive VS Reactive Monitoring
 Existing monitoring platforms offer a reactive solution rather than predictive.
 IT managers only react to incidents after it occurs: risk of downtime
 A predictive monitoring solution enables the planning of specific points of defense in any future
eventuality.
 The Avocent MergePoint Unity™ : provides IT administrators a complete remote management
solution to access and control servers and other devices.
 The Avocent AutoView switch : includes access for one or two digital users and access for a local user
in a single solution
 The LCD Console Tray family: offers a variety of features that simplifies and provides ease of access to
servers
 DSView 4 management software : enables secure, out-of-band, centralized management of all
connected IT and network devices– physical and virtual.
 Avocent Data Center Planner: a visual infrastructure planning and management solution within the
Emerson Network Power strategic framework for data center optimization. It provides data center
management with accurate and complete information about where devices and equipment are
located, their current capacities and future changes.
Protection: Critical Healthcare Operations
 Backup power offers protection of operations during power outages and disasters.
 Hourly cost of downtime for the healthcare industry is estimated at $640,000
 Ensuring the reliability of the hospital’s back up power system is essential with the proliferation of
highly critical loads in this environment
 Hospitals are focused on maximizing their core
product: Helping People Get Well.
 As such, optimal space is dedicated to this activity,
beds , clinics, critical facilities.
 As pervasive as IT now is throughout the hospital,
physical infrastructure must operate in less than
optimal “make do” space.
IT Infrastructure
Healthcare Challenge: Uninterruptible Power
 Power systems need to undergo regular testing in order to comply with regulations
- BUT… Hospitals cannot afford to shutdown during testing
 Need: Transfer switches for:
- Efficient testing without interruption to the hospital’s operations.
- Ensure seamless switching to emergency power in case of outage
Connectivity Critical to Healthcare Operations
 Communication devices ensure the efficient flow of operations and services.
- Ensures quick response to patients’ needs
- Ex. Voice over Internet Telephony (VoIP)
 Continuous and uninterrupted power is required to ensure security and integrity of data.
Healthcare Challenge: A robust IT infrastructure
 The rising demand for IP-based devices has led to the need for support from a robust IT infrastructure
- To address the density in communication data and security.
- To ensure the continuous flow of information.
- Monitor patient’s safety
- Improve quality of service
ASCO Switches
 Reliably transfer business-critical loads to emergency sources
 The ASCO 7000 series power transfer switch features switched or overlapping neutral options. This
product is available in the conventional, two-position transfer configuration, plus closed or delayed
transition modes of operation
 ASCO ‘Automatic Switch Company’ was established in 1888, making switches since 1920
 High MTBF ASCO Switches are typically designed for a minimum of 12,000 transfers. In most
applications (2 transfers/week), this equates to 1,000,000 hours (approx 115 years)

Protection: High-Density of Critical Equipment
 Diagnostics and imaging equipment utilize a considerable high amount of power thus emitting more
heat in the room environment.
 Medical equipment such as, CT Scanners, MRI, PET Gas Chromatographs and Cryogenic
Compressors, require a specific power and cooling conditions.
 Diagnostic, Imaging and Clinical equipment have
specific power, cooling and thermal requirements for
their proper operation.
 With the ongoing digitization in healthcare and
the need to achieve maximum efficiencies to remain
“competitive, non IT applications have become as
critical to the overall performance of the facility.
Healthcare Challenge: Precision cooling is critical
 Exceeding temperature specification can cause costly repairs and downtime:
- Sudden shutdowns
- Interruption of operations
- Damages on expensive equipment
 Building air is not enough
- Fluid temperatures and flow rates are not designed for these sensitive equipment.
Process Fluid Chiller
 Sensitive equipment requires year round operation, precise temperature-regulated water flow and a
clean circulating loop
 These features are only available with an equipment matched, factory tested, dedicated chiller.
UPS
 Sensitive equipment are prone to power problems such as surges, spikes and sags
 A Reliable UPS System is essential in protecting your hospital’s sensitive – and expensive diagnostic
and imaging equipment from wear and tear or damage caused by these power problems
