Healthcare is becoming more connected—and more mobile. But the networks supporting clinicians, medical devices, and patient data weren't built for care that moves.

In this episode of Beyond the Blueprint, Gregg Malkary talks with Myron Wallace, President of ProMobix, and Dr. Allen Moore, Connected Healthcare Leader at T-Mobile, about where 5G fits into the healthcare technology stack. They dig into connectivity inside and beyond the hospital, clinical workflow, cybersecurity and resiliency, rural and critical-access infrastructure, and what health systems should consider as 5G adoption grows.

Ultimately, it's a conversation about more than bandwidth: How do health systems ensure new infrastructure reduces burden on clinicians, holds up under real-world demands, and actually delivers the outcomes they're paying for?

Key Takeaways

• Why connectivity becomes a clinical issue when clinicians, devices, and patients are in motion
• Where 5G can complement Wi-Fi across healthcare environments
• How unreliable connectivity drives clinician workarounds and undermines technology investments
• Why clinical workflows should shape infrastructure decisions—not the other way around
• How 5G can support connected care beyond the four walls of the hospital
• The role of connectivity in cybersecurity, resiliency, and continuity of care
• Why rural and critical-access health systems may have different infrastructure opportunities
• Building connectivity around clinical outcomes, care-team needs, and real-world performance
