This connectivity allows the transferring of data directly to a patient's chart and makes it possible for doctors to view a patient's EMR as well as extensive amounts of clinical data including lab results and radiology image files, and this transportation of communication makes it possible for physicians to share and update patient information with hospitals, nursing homes, and other physician groups across their organization and all this would be impossible without network connectivity but his connectivity comes with a price as most existing facilities need to be reconditioned for developing reliable networks.
Project Description.
Information technology is identified as the installation, implementation, and development of applications and computer systems, which include software, hardware, networking and communication tools. Distribution plans for data will indicate which type of network architecture needs to be employed to benefit the healthcare organization and this network architecture will specify how workstations and computers will be installed/linked together through network servers and communication lines; the following points need to be taken into consideration as they affect such installations [5]:.
• Central mainframe architecture.
• Client/server architecture.
• File/Server architecture.
• Distributed processing architecture.
There are many benefits of networking within a clinical integrated system. Some of those benefits are as follows:.
• Increased collaboration - allows healthcare providers and hospitals to operate as a team .
in their efforts to improve quality, patient and family satisfaction, and safety.
• Improved efficiency - does away with healthcare redundancy and waste and makes it .
possible to give seamless care between and among providers.
• Payer partnerships - improves the quality of clinical processes, patient care, and reduces costs.
