Assignment 1 Case Study: Memorial Hermann Health System
Key Concerns:
Memorial Hermann Health System conducts some of the latest concept medical procedures in the country, such as organ transplants, robotic surgery, top-quality rehabilitation, cardiac and burn patient programs. Safety systems and equipment in their hospitals include wireless infusion pumps, laptops in operating rooms for transplant patients, complete digital imaging, voice recognition for physician reports, bar coding medication and supply chain administration, and computerized physician order entry.
Memorial Hermann Health System embarked on the journey of evaluating its needs for wireless infrastructure in the fall of 2012. The organization authorized a solution that would provide greater turnout to support voice and video, and provide a solid flexibility platform for the numerous mission-crucial medical devices and equipment that function wirelessly. The provider had applied Cisco and Aruba for five years, and the technology lifecycle was up, convincing the healthcare organization to re-examine its needs.
The outcome of its assessment created the awareness that a complete reform was needed to reinforce contemporary applications. In addition, the IT team planned to advance from its legacy …show more content…
Memorial Hermann Health System has also successfully applied wireless applications from AeroScout to track and manage inventory of medical equipment using Radio Frequency Identification, and to wirelessly track and manage medication and supplies, such as surgical kits in operating rooms. Memorial Hermann Health System was able to install a secure network from Aerohive for HIPPA requirement, as well as patient privacy and protection. With built-in features in the HiveOS and HiveManager, Memorial Hermann Health System could easily manage administration of Citrix-powered internal Web-based applications, preventing data to be downloaded into wireless devices, and thus protecting patient data in a situation devices were stolen or information was
