Healthcare Industry Solutions

Wireless technology has exploded in healthcare, improving the efficiency & accuracy of information exchange, while lowering costs & providing better overall patient experience. Mission-critical applications as bedside medication administration, emergency registration, order entry, physician rounding and clinical documentation are becoming more important. However, maintaining the security, performance and reliability of a wireless LAN is challenging due to the uniqueness of an acute hospital setting. Motorola can help healthcare organizations roll-out reliable and secure wireless networks, ensuring immediate access to people and information. Motorola’s portfolio of wireless network solutions, make WLANs trusted so they can be used as the primary network for any vital applications.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US and similar regulations around the world require healthcare providers to take necessary steps to protect confidential patient information. The Motorola AirDefense solution, currently deployed by several large healthcare providers, is designed to secure the provider’s wireless airspace by eliminating rogue wireless devices, preventing wireless intrusions and facilitating compliance with policies such as HIPAA. By continuously monitoring your wireless network, Motorola looks for unauthorized "rogue" access points, improper configurations, malicious hacking attempts & network performance degradation, thereby providing complete protection for wireless networks. The Motorola AirDefense solution also provides centralized wireless network performance & remote troubleshooting capabilities that reduce WLAN management costs while improving overall wireless performance.

Motorola can help healthcare organizations secure their wireless LANs in a comprehensive fashion and provide the security management and incident reporting capabilities necessary to meet the requirements of HIPAA in an organized and labor-saving manner by:

	Supporting the security management process through constant verification and enforcement of security policies
	Providing configuration management support including ongoing inventory of equipment, verification of configuration (especially during expansion or maintenance) and continuous vulnerability assessment
	Providing intrusion alarms, audit trail information and event reporting capability
