Nexus, a leading provider of advanced technology and network integration, announced the launch of a focused Healthcare Practice. Healthcare is one of the fastest growing industries today and currently generates a large percentage of Nexus' revenue.

Nexus will have focused Account Managers, Healthcare Transformation Specialists, and Engineering resources geared towards the Healthcare Practice.

Nexus will improve the patient care experience and workforce efficiencies through the use of new Nexus Healthcare offers including Core Foundation Services, Distance Care Services, Point of Care Workflow Management Services, and Patient Hospitality Services. These offers are supported by Cisco Unified Communications, TelePresence, WebEx, Digital Media Systems, Medical Grade Network Infrastructure, Mobility, Security, and Data Center technology.

Nexus will also leverage its partnership with EXTENSION to provide additional solution offers in the Healthcare space.
