  "The network is now the lifeblood of our organization," says Russ Branzell, chief information officer for Poudre Valley Health System (PVHS), a 430-bed non-profit healthcare provider in Fort Collins, Colorado.
  
  Branzell has already upgraded PVHS to modern IP networks for both wired and wireless communication, and it now enjoys multiple benefits from the new technologies.Branzell, however, realizes there are many more opportunities to capitalize on his organization's investment."We are trying to figure out what we have not even thought of yet," Branzell says.
  
  Branzell says use of PVHS' network will likely increase dramatically as his group finds more ways to connect devices and information for ubiquitous access.In particular, the growing need to transmit medical-grade images for everything from X-rays and CAT scans to MRIs and ultrasound images is making a robust network essential.
  
  The organization's doctors and staff can now access its PACS (picture archiving and communications system) from anywhere there is a broadband connection.During a recent snowstorm, for example, many doctors were able to examine images from their homes to avoid driving on dangerous roads.
  
  Ultimately, Branzell says, IP networks can help "break down siloed portions of healthcare," so the whole system can share information more effectively."We've got a long way to go to get everyone to talk together," he says.
