Patton-Fuller Community Hospital is known for specializing in surgery, medical care, physical therapy, radiology, pharmacy, labor, and delivery. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has been in business since 1975. The hospital’s main focus is to provide quality medical care to all of their patients both adults and children. Patton-Fuller Community Hospital is one of the first in Kelsey. The hospital is dedicated to providing many different services and programs that will help maintain the health of their patients.
How the information transmits within the hospital and externally are:
- The Network is segmented into two segments. One segment is administrative functions, and the other is clinical functions.
- All nodes attached to the administrative function segment is physically connected by CAT 6 cable and transmitting 1000 Base T.
- All nodes attached to the clinical function segment is physically connected by single mode fiber cable and transmitting 1000 Base F.
- The two network segments are connected by a network bridge.
- Workstations on the administrative function segment use a DHCP Server to obtain IP address. The network black/white and color laser printers are also DHCP but a static IP is set on the DHCP Server using their hardware MAC address.
- Nodes on the clinical function segment IP addresses are static IP’s.
- The DHCP service is run on the Exchange Server housed in the IT data center.
- DNS, for local name resolution, is also hosted on this server.
- If DNS cannot be resolved locally, it is forwarded to the gateway.
- All workstation nodes are joined to a domain.
- User account management in the domain is handled by Active Directory.
- Outbound data is relayed through a proxy
