Patton-Fuller Community Hospital Network Diagrams Overview The Patton-Fuller Community Hospital intranet Web site contains seven network diagrams. These are titled:        Top View Logical Network Administration Network Details Radiology RIS Data Center OR/ICU/Ward Floor Systems IT Data Center Each of the diagrams is described in detail on the following pages of this document. Top View Network Diagram The top view network diagram represents the hospital structure from an Information Technology network perspective. The diagram visually distinguishes between the hospital’s clinical areas and its administrative functions. The clinical areas are:         Emergency Rooms and Operating Rooms Pharmacy Labs Radiology Doctors personal offices Wards Outpatient examining rooms Intensive Care Units The administrative functions are:       Information Technology Department Admitting/Discharge Facilities Human Resources Hospital Senior Management Finance The backbone network structure for the entire hospital is 1000 BaseT. Individual sections of departmental networks such as Radiology use different standards such as 1000 BaseF. The entire hospital has a complete power backup system with automatic cutover to a large diesel motor generator set. Individual departments have local UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) as depicted on the individual department network diagrams. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) is rigorously enforced. All patient data files are encrypted for storage using AES (Advanced Encryption Standard). All access to patient data files requires identification and authentication of each user. In all Radiology modalities the DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) standard and PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) are standard. Logical Network The Logical Network diagram provides an overview of the logical network interconnections for the hospital. At the center of the diagram is a Network Bridge. Two networks are shown as being connected through the bridge. One network contains the administrative functions of the hospital and the other network contains the clinical areas of the hospital.
