Healthcare IT Infrastructure - Planning & Set-up

HOW TO ?


22

To reap real benefits of IT ,Information & Communication Technology systems need to be thought of as one of the FIRSTS in the planning phase of a modern healthcare setup


Most of the hospitals still believe that IT is mostly to do with Hospital Information System (HIS/HMS) or streamlining the billing & financial system; it is the New-age Modern Healthcare Organizations that have started thinking much more comprehensively


23


Healthcare Grade Networks


24

The art is to strike a balance between optimum data throughput by use of appropriate transmission medium and switching technology while ensuring the Network Security by deploying Firewalls, Content Filters, Intrusion Detection/Protection system and Network Admission Controls

Network Switches & Servers


26


A new perspective to IT in modern healthcare organizations is to bring along almost all the different services together in the IT domain thus maximizing their potential and making them part of integrated healthcare IT delivery system.

Broadly speaking Telecommunications system, Internet services, Patient Bedside Monitoring system, Pneumatic Chute System, Patient Live Video Transmission system, Hospital Information System, Medical Equipment Integration, Information kiosks, Hospital Paging & Annunciation system, Nurse Call System, CCTV Security system and many more would work as a Single Integrated System.

To host and support these multiple services a well-planned Data Center or Server Room is a necessity for any modern setup to ensure central deployment of software applications and services.
