Delivering Reliable Healthcare
Healthcare providers rely on WAN connectivity for clients and patients. This requires robust security, performance and reliability.
Healthcare Network Transformation
Traditional network architectures were not built for the growing demands of the today’s distributed healthcare organizations. The dedicated private network is rapidly being displaced with secure, agile and cost-efficient network diversity. Office applications, patient records and images that were exclusively stored in the data center, are now being accessed from cloud services.
Personal Health Data
The WAN is a primary source for cyber-crime in every industry, and the healthcare industry is no exception, and one that handles extremely sensitive patient records. Security breaches pose many risks for healthcare providers, and IT teams must ensure that security is integral to the WAN.
Distributed Healthcare Facilities
The preservation of healthcare data for doctors, clinics and hospitals, and their clients and patients is critical. The protection of patient health information going over the WAN requires a reliable and secure network connection, as it has direct bearing for compliance with HIPAA.
Quality Care Requires Quality Service
Telehealth facilitates the transmission of electronic information via telecommunications for long-distance clinical care, with information about patients and care givers. Telehealth uses videoconferencing and streaming media sent over WANs. Ensuring quality of service (QoS) for these real-time applications is paramount.
Secure Connectivity for Payments
Electronic payments require the office to have a secure network-connected payment device or ATM that follows PCI DSS regulatory compliance.
Mosaic SoftWave SD-WAN Supports
Healthcare
SD-WAN enables healthcare providers to grow bandwidth using diverse Internet links that are much lower in cost, compared to private circuits. SD-WAN brings additional required capabilities that enable WAN agility and optimized connectivity that supports HIPAA compliance. SD-WAN enables the control of individual traffic streams using business policies to improve security, performance and reliability.
Network Orchestration
SD-WAN enables automated policies, configurable rules, prioritizing applications, link performance, and capacity measurements. IT teams centrally manage network traffic and applications, and remediate WAN issues, rather than requiring technical staff at each branch.
Easy Provisioning
Edge SD-WAN devices are located in each branch office. When connected to the Internet with the zero-touch deployment, they automatically authenticate, connect, and receive configuration instructions from the centralized management portal. This simplified deployment process enables healthcare facilities to quickly add new offices to the WAN.
SD-WAN Traffic Isolation & Segmentation
Because healthcare traffic and applications are different, they need to be treated differently. SD-WAN segments traffic, isolates application types, and applies business policies to meet regulatory compliance. With SD-WAN, IT managers have complete control of this process. SD-WAN traffic isolation uses custom segments, such as HIPAA, PCI, etc., that are associated by location type, using profile templates. This keeps occupational therapy and other type of traffic separated from electronic medical records traffic.
Robust Security
Mosaic SoftWave SD-WAN includes integrated next-generation firewall provides granular application control, and easily integrates with best-of-breed security solutions like Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, Symantec, and Check Point. This provides the flexibility to easily implement the security solution that best fits you healthcare organization.
