Summary:
Securing data in a healthcare setting is a daunting task. Although most
facilities contain up-to-date medical technology, many have antiquated
communication networks lacking the security and encryption required to
protect patient information. The physical structures of hospitals make it
difficult or even impossible to add wiring for adequate networking, which
is why many IT departments have opted for a wireless network. Implementing
a wireless LAN can be both more cost-effective and less problematic then
implementing a wireline network, but they are not without their
challenges. Security risks exist and connectivity is a concern while
roaming through buildings that contain elevators, radiology room
shielding, or other physical structures that “break” wireless network
sessions.
