  8. How Wireless is Transforming the Healthcare lndustry

  9. WAP Density Demand is Increasing in Hospitals - Critical • “High density” Wi-Fi design in hospitals - Double the amount of APs installed in the room/area • The Healthcare WiFi infrastructure must accommodate many users, much greater densities and be more robust(BICSI 004) • Tremendous growth: (BICSI -004 Medical Grade Wireless) - Healthcare apps - Wireless sensors for health monitoring - Handheld mobile devices - Inpatient medical devices • Considerations for Hospital Enterprise Wireless and Consumer Wireless • Cell based offloading to WiFi Reference; BICSI – 004 MGWU

  10. Healthcare Drivers - Demanding High Bandwidth Wireless Networks • Growth in Wireless Healthcare Apps • Use of wireless hand held mobile devices for • clinic technicians • Surge in Wireless medical devices • Infusion pumps, smart beds, Clinic monitors, • etc. • Growth of wireless medical sensors • Smart phones, laptops, tablets Reference; BICSI – 004 MGWU

  11. Healthcare Wireless Drivers cont… • Wearable Wireless Devices (WWDs) • Patient in-room monitors • Patient and visitor use of the WiFi network • Devices that interact with EMRs • (Electronic Medical Records) • Real-time access to X-Rays, MRIs • RTLS (Real Time Location System) Reference; BICSI-004 MGWU

  12. Healthcare Wireless Drivers cont… • More and more devices are finding their way onto the WiFi Network • Medical devices transitioning from proprietary networks to the • WiFi Network • Increases the number of devices that require a robust WiFi network • Designers will face new challenges in wireless design and deployment • - Network Capacity • - Scalability • - Device Coexistence • - Mobility • - Power consumption • Installers will face hardware deployment • Challenges. considering Healthcare • Codes, Compliances, Procedures Reference; BICSI-004 MGWU

  13. Healthcare WiFi Standards Recommendations, Codes, and Compliances

  14. BICSI-004 - Medical Grade Wireless Utility Wireless Design Guide for the Healthcare Industry - Wireless communications is a unique type of “Utility” in hospitals - MGUW is the implementation of a wireless infrastructure that doesn’t require costly and disruptive above ceiling change mgmt. - It is recommended that the wireless environment be characterized Prior to design and installation of cabling Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

  15. BICSI-004 Medical Grade Utility Wireless Standard continued… • Growth in hospital wireless needs • The increase in wireless medical devices • The increase in consumer and enterprise use of the WiFi network • Requires a reliable and robust WiFi infrastructure • A wireless infrastructure that involves no above ceiling modifications Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

  16. BICSI-004 Medical Grade Utility Wireless Standard continued… • Implementation of Wireless • Below ceiling installation of WiFi access points is a better alternative to above ceiling • They should be installed in a cabinet flush with or below the ceiling, or wall mounted. • MGUW can help prepare the hospital for the changing healthcare IT environment and future wireless technologies Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

  17. TIA 1179 – Healthcare Facility Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard (Policies and procedures to mitigate Airborne Infectious Disease) • Once ceiling tiles are closed, adding or changing cabling could jeopardize infection control measures • Restrictions on removing ceiling tiles impacts adds, moves and changes, and adds significant cost when the need arises to access the ceiling • It is recommended that the wireless environment be characterized prior to and installation of cabling Reference: ANSI-TIA-1179

  18. Infectious Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Lifting or removing ceiling tiles requires the installer to: • Use Negative Air Pressure Enclosure (NAPE), or “tent off” the work area - Use a HEPA air filter Very Costly

  19. HIPPA Compliance – Physically Secure the Endpoints • This rule sets national standards for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information. • Physically lock access points for security 164.301(a)(1) implement policies and procedures to limit physical access to its electronic information systems… while ensuring that properly authorized access is allowed.
