Unity Network®
The power of Information Integration

The GE Medical Systems Information Technologies Unity Network® is a hospital communication link for the efficient sharing of clinical information between cardiology, patient monitoring, hospital information, and laboratory equipment. Available only from GE Medical Systems Information Technologies, it offers unprecedented convenience and flexibility for acquiring, reviewing, and managing patient information.

Our network is built using industry-standard equipment. Using IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) cabling means that we can integrate our equipment with the network that you already have. This allows us to use economies of scale when building the network. To use off­-the-­shelf hardware to build the system. Hardware that is used by mainstream computing vendors, and technology that is driven by an entire industry. Hardware that is already familiar to your networking specialists.

Industry standard communication protocols are used throughout as well. GE Medical Systems Information Technologies Unity Network uses protocols from the TCP/IP family. It's the same protocol family that is used to connect millions of computers across the Internet, and most often used to connect multi-vendor networks.

Our "industry standard" approach to networks allows us to build very large networks of patient monitors, printers, central stations, etc. We have several installations with over 350 connected bedside monitors - and the capacity for far larger networks.

GE Medical Systems Information Technologies uses this network to seamlessly collect, store, and analyze data throughout your health care system. To provide you with your patients' data where and when you need it. So you can make informed decisions regarding patient care.
