Introduction Agenda State of healthcare IT today Integration or segregation? Breakdown by discipline Where does the ITS industry fit-in? Creating efficiencies How standards are helping Questions
Background Introduction The slow march toward integration Standards
State of Healthcare IT Today Where do we stand? Is it happening and where? Example: Sault Area Hospital

Design Keys The Key to any healthcare networking solution is the capacity to cost-efficiently, promptly and securely generate, collect, retrieve and share communication information of all types with humongous throughput needs. Health care information exchange needs evolve and expand rapidly, the Key is to provide enough room and designated spaces to support all types of infrastructures. The Key is long term planning, it s a much less intrusive approach for MACs. Initial robust installations with high quality and high bandwidth efficiency is the Key. The Key for design is to planned with type of area and zone density needs (Low, Medium and High) The Key is to sketch for initial growth of 100 % + and proposed p larger facility to accommodate telecom rooms than a typical office ST rooms. The Key is to work in close relation with applications needs approach
