H3C Wired/Wireless Solution Deployed to Build Zhongshan
Hospitals Wireless Ward Inspection System
The Client
The Subsidiary Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University is a
comprehensive teaching hospital affiliated with the PRCs Ministry
of Health. Founded in 1936 and then affiliated with
the National Shanghai Medical College, Zhongshan Hospital was
the first large comprehensive hospital to be managed by Chinese.
Originally named Sun Zhongshan Memorial
Hospital in honor of Sun Zhongshan, the pioneer of Chinas
democratic revolution, it was later renamed Zhongshan Hospital.
Project Background
Wireless ward inspection is a hospital information system (HIS)
application. While electronic medical records (EMRs) have been
widely available in hospitals for years, medical
images and cardiograms have more recently been digitalized, and
now doctors can access them during patient diagnosis and ward
inspections via a portable tablet PC or PDA.
Many hospitals have deployed wireless ward inspection systems
for this convenience.
With a wireless ward inspection system, doctors can retrieve
patients medical records, medical advice, and various check, assay
and nursing information, or give medical advice
and record a change in the state of illness at the patients
bedside in real time; this data is then transferred to related
departments and the hospitals management terminals. A
wireless ward inspection system enables doctors to work more
efficiently and conveniently, freeing them from having to carry
around thick stacks of medical records and medical
certificates on every patient visit.
H3C Solution and Benefits
H3C designed and deployed an integrated wired/wireless solution
consisting of access controllers (ACs), Fit access points (APs),
Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled switches and
network management software to provide a wireless ward
inspection system for Zhongshan Hospital. This solution
simultaneously increased the security of the hospitals wireless
network while facilitating and simplifying the configuration and
management of network equipment. Most importantly, H3Cs Fit AP
solution supports flexible, fast Layer 3 roaming
that meets the HISs strict requirement for packet loss rate of
network data, and also provides a reliable network platform for
subsequent Wi-Fi voice service.
Employing 180 Fit APs and two WX ACs, the wireless ward
inspection system seamlessly covers the Digestion Department,
Hepatic Tumor Department, Integrated Traditional
Chinese Medicine and Western Medicine Department, Endocrinology
Department, Department of Respiratory Medicine and the Department
of Cardiac Surgery in Building 1,
Building 8 and Building 9. The two ACs work in redundant backup
mode and are responsible for:
Centralized configuration and management of 180 Fit APs; and
Authentication and roaming control for wireless users.
Omnidirectional antennas and APs are hidden in the ceiling, and
provide the following benefits:
Aesthetically pleasing environment;
Enhances the strength of wireless signals; and
Widens the coverage area of wireless signals.
The Hospital Information System (HIS) and Picture Archiving and
Communication System (PACS) store an enormous amount of personal
patient data, and
safeguarding this information is paramount. H3Cs wireless
network solution supports wireless intrusion detection systems
(WIDS) and wireless intrusion preventionsystems (WIPS), which can
detect illegal users and rogue APs in real time and deny access to
them, preventing unauthorized personnel from accessing or
corrupting the hospitalsdata.
