Problem Statement Five doctor offices have decided to join each of their buildings to a network. With this, each office will have access to each of the other four offices’ information. This would greatly benefit them and their patients, allowing them to pull up a patient’s medical and billing information from a central server for easy access. However the central, east and west offices are each on their own LAN. The three LANs are similar in design for connecting each workstation and for hardware and software. The eastern and western offices have already been in a partnership with their own peer-to-peer with remote access network along with shared billing and insurance management software. The north and south locations are running standalone workstations that are various ages. Each office has no kind of network compatible hardware and runs the billing and insurance software on one dedicated computer, each with its own attached printer. Patient information is stored on several computers throughout the offices and patient records are filed manually on paper.
Future Growth All five doctors hope to have their new business setup to grow. They hope to have added up to four more doctors, a number of nurses and an office manager to watch over the administrative operations of all five offices to add to their current team. Since the doctors are concerned with the maintenance of their technology, it may be a good idea to have a small IT staff at the ready for maintenance, updates and troubleshooting.
