This discussion requires you to use the scenario presented in the first discussion in this unit:

You are proposing a network solution for ABC Health Services Clinic. Patient charts, lab results, x-rays, and medication information must be accessible to medical stafffrom laptops while in the patients' rooms. There are new servers in a first-floor data center in a secure area of the clinic, where there are also patient rooms. These servers must be available at all times.

• One server houses the database of all patient records. All lab work, x-rays, and prescriptions are performed within the clinic and there is no need to exchange data with third parties outside of the clinic.
• The billing department invoices patients and processes credit card payments. Billing must also access the Internet to exchange data with insurance companies and Medicare.

Thirty-five laptops are available for use by the health care providers on the clinic's wireless LAN (WLAN).Patient rooms are on three floors of the clinic. The health care providers must be able to access patient records via their laptops on all rooms on these floors. The IT director wants to maintain strong network security as these changes are made.

Completethe following:

• Discuss public and private addressing for this scenario.
• Discuss authentication, authorization, and accounting requirements for the health care providers accessing the network and retrieving patient health care information.
• Discuss communication encryption requirements.
• List questions would you ask the IT Director about the current redundancy of the system.
