Team-
Thought I would share the news we received today from QUALCOMM. GE Healthcare Clinical Services has been selected as a finalist in this years cdmaA-List Awards for deployment of our Wireless Mobility Platform. Back in May 2003, the Clinical Services Information Technology Team brainstormed possible solutions for our High-End Dispatching dilemma in meeting our high-end contract customer SLA's. After an in-depth analysis of multiple wireless carriers and "off the shelf" middleware solutions, a decision was made to enable our FE's with wireless mobile devices and streamline/automate our entire dispatching process. Just over 8 months after initial concept, we piloted our first wireless device in the field and received feedback/fanfare from our FE's that our tremendous efforts were und! isputedly a "Masterpiece of Teamwork". Without the efforts of the IT Project Management team led by Craig Stepien with a number of our TCS Associates, along with the functional support of Chris Dean and our Wireless Pilot team, we would have never achieved this level of stature with this project. My congratulations go out to the entire team for being selected as a finalist for this award.
The CS Technology Team has always been the Innovators and Leaders within GE Healthcare when developing these types of robust solutions....Not only have our successes been with wireless, but innovation have driven products like our CMT, ServeCost, PartsBuy, Mobility Platforms, CS and DI Physical Inventory, HPG Warranty Controls...etc.etc...
As always, our CS IT Team leadership is exemplary and will continue to drive these solutions hard for our FE's. Thanks to everyone on the entire team!!!!
