Question 1

□ What are some things we should consider when securing a wireless network?

© 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Cisco 6

Control WLANs Before They Control You

Protect your networkA corporate controlled WLAN eliminates 99% of rogue APsDeploy strong authentication and strong encryption

Protect mobile clientsMobile clients are exposed to hostile networks more often (think hotels, airports, coffee shop hot spots)

Keep mobile clients “honest”Use Network Admission Control (NAC) to make sure clients have the latest patches and AV definitions

“Endpoint systems are vulnerable and represent the most likely point of infection from which a virus or worm can spread rapidly and cause serious disruption and economic damage.”

Burton Group


Mapping Wireless Security Policies to the Wired Network

Multiple WLAN security policies

Data vs. voice vs. legacy devices vs. guest access, depending on device capabilitySSID to VLAN mapping—provides appropriate wireless L2 segmentation

Permits mapping WLAN security policies to wired security policies

No dependence on WLAN device capabilityUse security features on the interface which terminates wireless trafficCan enforce the necessary access security, regardless of access method (guest, unencrypted/voice, WEP/etc.)

AP Channel: 6SSID “Data” = VLAN 1SSID “Voice” = VLAN 2SSID “Visitor” = VLAN 3

To Distribution/Core Layer


The Business Agenda

Protecting sensitive business and customer data is the key focus of regulatory compliance requirements

HIPAA

PCI

Maintain Administrative, Technical and Physical Safeguards To:a) Ensure the integrity and confidentiality of patient informationb) Protect against threats or hazards; unauthorized uses or

disclosures of patient information

Any Merchant (Including Electronic) Using Payment Cards, Must:a) Build and maintain a secure networkb) Protect and encrypt cardholder datac) Regularly monitor and test networks, including wireless

Sarbanes-Oxley

All Publicly Traded Companies Must:a) Maintain an adequate internal control structure and procedures

for financial reportingb) Assess the effectiveness of internal control structures

Business and Security Compliance Is Top of Mind for Executives

Management


Real-time Asset Management

ChallengeMaintaining par levels for equipment throughout the hospital departmentsEfficient management of the decontamination process of medical devicesEquipment orders must be fulfilled on time so that not to delay procedures and drug administrationLoss and theft of mobile devicesLow asset utilization rates result in excessive and unnecessary purchasing and rental of medical devices

SolutionAutomated real-time inventory and location reportsFull control of rental equipment inventory and items out for repair/maintenanceAutomated par level maintenance and control of equipment at specific locations (e.g. shortage/surplus of pumps in clean/soiled utility rooms and on medical devices leaving the facility/area)Identify trends in equipment availability and utilization


Preventive Maintenance

ChallengePatient equipment must be maintained periodically in order to have highly functioning equipment for quality patient care and JACHO regulatory compliance.Equipment cannot be located on time leading to non compliance with regulatory requirementsValuable staff time spent on searching for assets due for PM

SolutionTagged equipment is located immediately according to preventive maintenance pickup scheduleAutomated maintenance alerts include equipment location, enabling biomedical engineers to perform work in a timely mannerStored tag location and event history for audits


Temperature Monitoring

ChallengeNursing, lab and pharmacy staff must perform manual temperature monitoring and logging several times a day (blood, drugs, vaccines, food, tissue samples)JCAHO requires to maintain daily records and continuous temperature monitoring for storage refrigerators and freezersLogging mechanisms are unreliable (lost data and gaps in records) and utilize labor inefficiently

SolutionTemperature Sensor Wi-Fi Tags placed in refrigerators provide automated 24x7 constant temperature readsNo hard wires and easy to installAlert on exceeded temperature readings Maintain temperature historical and alerts data


Patient & Staff Safety

ChallengeNo effective way to determine the location of medical emergencies that occur out-of-roomHospital staff may often work with patients that pose a risk to staffAt-risk patients (Psychiatric ward, Alzheimer, elderly, etc.)wandering and elopement

Solution Patients wear call-button tags, and press the button in case of an emergency to signal medical staff immediatelyStaff can carry call-button tags which they can press upon encountering an emergencyPatient movement between zones (exit event), into a specific restricted area (entrance event), or away from confined area triggers immediate alert to closest on-call staff.


Workflow & Resource Management

ChallengeNon optimal process & resource management results in patient, staff and equipment delays in hospital departments (e.g. OR/ER)

SolutionOnline equipment/staff/patient tracking required for proceduresPatient workflow tracking from admission to dischargeAlert prior to a procedure if any necessary equipment is missingLocation information is automatically sent to scheduling system, enabling procedure prioritization in real-time based on location and statusThroughput analysis (wait times, bottlenecks, fixed asset utilization)

Question 7

□ What are the advantages of using the Wi-Finetwork for tracking assets and people throughout the hospital?


A Ubiquitous Standard Network for Visibility

Healthcare visibility problems are distributed throughout the entire hospital campus and outside hospitals

Requires a standard ubiquitous solution throughout the healthcare facilities that will:• Leverage existing networks• Keep management and maintenance costs low • Keep TCO as low as possible

Wi-Fi-based Active RFID


Using Wi-Fi for Location

Non-Wi-Fi Infrastructure:Single-purpose Active RFID readers for location add unnecessary infrastructure.

Wi-Fi based Infrastructure:The existing WLAN is the location system, often without the need for additional hardware.

How Does it Work?

Wi-Fi-Based Active RFID tags send a tiny wireless 802.11 signal at a regular interval

Tag’s messages consume less than 1/2msec, tags do not associate with Wi-Fi access points and do not require thousands of IP addresses

Signal is received by the Wi-Fi access points, and is sent to a Location EngineThe Location Engine determines the tag’s location, and sends it to the visibility softwareVisibility software uses location data to display maps and reports, enable searches, create alerts, manage assets, etc.
