The Oregon Clinic Extends Patient Care Services Across Metro Portland with tw telecom’s Metro Ethernet Service

tw telecom has announced the successful installation of metro Ethernet connectivity to The Oregon Clinic’s West Hills Gastroenterology and West Side Surgical facilities in West Portland. The addition of these two new offices in West Portland and the Beaverton area brings to 12 the number of locations where The Oregon Clinic provides critical medical services.

"The reliability and performance of tw telecom’s metro Ethernet solution at our existing 10 sites in Portland motivated us to extend our network to our West Portland facilities," said Lee McMillian, CIO for The Oregon Clinic in Portland. "When tw telecom built fiber to that part of town, we were very pleased to add these two clinics to our metro network and upgrade the level of service we provide our patients. Each 500 Mbps metro Ethernet circuit allows us to deliver patient data to physician screens within seconds."

"This capability raises our level of care to what is normally associated with large, infrastructure-intensive hospitals," said McMillian. "Additionally, it opened the door to completing a business continuity disaster recovery (BCDR) project that will reduce our recovery time by 98 percent, from hours to minutes."
