2 Healthcare Digital Movement 1970 s First computer usage for administration (billing, etc.) Early 90 s Integrated computers automation of order entry, results reporting Mid 90 s Emergence of Internet 2000 Availability of large-scale databases 2006 Evolution of Gov t regulations for Electronic Medical Records (EMR) 2010 TIA-1179 Standards for 2010 TIA 1179 Standards for Telecommunications in Healthcare

3 Agenda Market Drivers Government Initiatives Industry Standards TIA-1179 Recommended Cabling Practices Difference between Premises Networks and Healthcare Case Studies: Boston Medical Center and Tifton Regional Medical Health

4 Market Drivers Government Initiatives Industry Standards TIA-1179 Application specific vs. non-application based (568) Digital media (EMR) Long distance collaboration & education in real time IP Convergence

5 Exploding Bandwidth Requirements MRI Ultrasound 18 MB 39 MB Angiography 15 MB

6 Gov t Regulations HIPAA Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), enacted 1996 Addresses the security and privacy of health data Encourages the use of electronic data interchange in the U.S. health care system Establishes regulations for the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) and e-phi

7 Gov t Regulations ONCHIT Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) within Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) est Promote the development of a nationwide id interoperable healthcare information technology (HIT) harmonization process 10-year goal for total EHR

8 Gov t Regulations ARRA American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Stimulus package includes healthcare Promotes the adoption of interoperable electronic health records (EHRs) to develop a national health information network Ends September 2011 Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONCHIT) to continue to implement this plan

9 Gov t Regulations HITECH Act Health lhinformation Technology for Economic and Clinical l Health (HITECH) Act part of the 2009 ARRA Promotes exchange of health information on a national basis Provides incentives for entities that adopt Electronic Health Records (EHR) Widens the scope of privacy and security provisions of HIPAA

10 Joint Commission (Organization) ACCREDITATION Based on organization and df focus (Ambulatory, Behavioral, Critical Access, Home Care, Hospital, Lab, Long Term) CERTIFICATION Based on staff and responsibilities of service and safety STANDARDS Operational standards and manuals MEASUREMENTS Performance evaluations patient tracers and national safety goals. Periodic performance assessment

11 Newly Ratified Standard ANSI/TIA-1179 Telecommunications infrastructure intended to support a wide range of healthcare facilities and systems to include: Topology Pathways and spaces EF, ER & TR Requirements Cabling Recommendations Work area densities Ancillary devices

12 Pathway Guidelines Pathways should not compromise operation of the facility Enclosed pathway systems -- in air handling spaces to meet Infection Control Requirements (ICR) Segregation of cables for different networks & applications (due to safety protocols)

13 Entrance Facilities (EF) & Equipment Rooms (ER) Route diversity - two separate pathways from the entrance facility to the equipment room Demarcation point of outside access providers may be determined by federal or local regulations. Accommodation of other systems may increase size (BAS, nurse call, security, CATV, biomedical systems) Growth factor of 100%

14 Telecommunications Rooms (TR) and Telecom Enclosures (TE) Non-telecommunications services (i.e. gasses, fluids) not allowed Larger TR than office building -- 12m 2 (130 ft 2 ) or larger TE serves smaller floor area or where TR is not allowed (be aware of exposure of magnetic fields, radiation, chemicals, etc)

15 Centralized Optical Fiber Cabling Growing trend of optical lfb fiber in horizontal network applications Reduce installation costs Increase network flexibility, simplifies network management Allows cable runs to 300 meters

16 Backbone Cabling Needs to accommodate future equipment needs Minimum of two diverse pathways and cables to each TR or TE Recommended cabling: 100 ohm (Cat 6 or higher)* 850nm, LOMF (laser optimized multimode fiber) Single-mode *Notes: Cat 6A is recommended for new installations Cat 3 should be limited to analog voice

17 Horizontal Cabling Plan to accommodate future equipment needs, diverse and increasing user application-specific services Less accessible than backbone cabling During the design, reduce the probability requiring changes to horizontal cabling Recommended cabling: Category 5e; Category 6 or higher is recommended Note: Category 6A recommended d for new installations ti Multimode, 850 nm 50/125, 2-fiber or higher Single-mode, 2-fiber or higher Note: Bundled and hybrid cables can be used.

18 Work Areas Based on applications and usage requirements High density drops 11 Classifications: Patient Services Surgery/Procedure/ Operating Rm Emergency Ambulatory Care Women s Health Diagnostic and Treatment Caregiver Service/Support Facilities Operations Critical Care

19 Work Area Classification Tables Tables within the standard list the recommended work area configurations based on the functions at that t location: L = Low: 2-6 outlets per area M = Medium: 6-12 outlets per area H = High: >14 outlets in each area

20 Work Area Density Tables L = Low: 45% of 75 listed including: Waiting Room, Ambulance Bay, X-Ray, Patient Holding, Consultation, Mechanical Rooms M = Medium: 25% of 75 listed including: Registration, Patient Prep & Recovery, Exam & Evaluation, Nursery, Pharmacy, Administration, Food Service H = High: 30% of 75 listed including: Patient Room, Nurse Station, Intensive Care, Operating Room, Emergency Procedure, Out-Patient Surgery, Delivery Room, MRI, CT Scan, Lab, Security Office

21 Cabling Considerations for Work Areas MUTOAs: Recommended for renovations of existing facilities, not new construction Provides flexible layouts for spaces that are frequently rearranged Locate in open area, fully accessible Limit to serving a maximum of 24 outlets Multiple faceplates Color-coding Plan for PoE Note: CPs NOT allowed

22 Unique Cabling Installation Best Practice Recommendations High termination work area density recommended to use multi-fiber, preferably pre-term High-levels of EMI, high temperature and chemicals may be present Cabling products with unique attributes to comply with atmospheric conditions Use of colored cables, jacks and keyed connectivity i to maintain i segregation of the networks Become familiar with unique codes and regulations

23 Healthcare vs. Premises Broader scope of applicationspecific IP devices Sensitive installation environment Larger pathways Larger Telecom Rooms Work area classifications and densities

24 Unique Solutions for Healthcare FTP shielded cable (in radiation sensitive areas) High-density fiber (pre-term) High-density fiber cassettes TE vs. TR PoE (copper or fiber) --access points, security cameras, WAP MUTOA Color-coded cable and jacks to match TR and WAO Multi-media outlets with protective shutters Properly sized basket tray with cable separation Stainless steel outlets Floor boxes, poke thrus
