Access to broadband increases the ability to use electronic medical records, wireless medical devices, and capacity to collect and analyze patient information. Broadband can provide real-time data to providers, allowing for faster diagnosing and treatment, thus improving patient care.

Electronic medical records can reduce redundant treatment, eliminate time-intensive paperwork, and expand research and data capabilities. In addition, UConn Health Center can become a top tier academic medical center from state-of-the-art broadband technologies that Governor Dannel Malloy is proposing.
