# Healthcare network infrastructure

Clinical systems, patient records and staff communications all run on the network. We design and deploy it for specialty practices, outpatient clinics and regional hospital systems.

[ Healthcare challenges ]

## Infrastructure challenges in healthcare

### Regulatory compliance

HIPAA and other regulations set requirements the network has to meet.

### Infrastructure reliability

Clinical systems, imaging and patient records stop when the network does.

### Data security

Patient data needs segmentation, access control and monitoring to prevent unauthorized access.

### Legacy infrastructure

Many practices run on aging equipment that has to be replaced without interrupting patient care.

[ Case study ]

## Healthcare infrastructure in practice

### Bone & Joint Surgery Center case study

We designed and deployed a new network for a healthcare provider with seven locations, replacing its legacy vendor stack and segmenting clinical systems in line with HIPAA.

- 7 locations across Central Wisconsin
- ~80% cost reduction vs. legacy vendor stack
- $0 recurring licensing fees
- HIPAA-aligned network segmentation
- Hub-and-spoke SD-WAN with local internet breakout
- Redundant UXG Enterprise gateways at core

[ Security posture ]

## Compliance does not equal patient security

HIPAA sets a baseline for protecting patient information. Meeting it does not, on its own, make a network secure.

We design around the threats that patient systems, clinical equipment and operational networks face, and treat the compliance checklist as the minimum.

[ Engineering services ]

## HIPAA-aligned network engineering

We align the network with HIPAA's security requirements and make it more reliable along the way.

### Network segmentation

Separate networks for clinical systems, administrative systems and guest access.

### Secure wireless infrastructure

Wireless for clinical mobility, with security controls built in.

### Firewall & security configuration

Firewall policy, intrusion detection and monitoring aligned with healthcare security practices.

### Audit & logging infrastructure

Logging and monitoring that support audit and compliance requirements.

[ Environments ]

## Healthcare environments

### Private practices

Networks for patient scheduling, records systems and secure wireless.

### Specialty clinics

Segmented networks for imaging systems, diagnostic equipment and patient data.

### Regional healthcare systems

Multiple locations on secure links, managed from one place.

### Medical offices & outpatient facilities

Networks for clinical operations and patient services.
