Patton-Fuller Community Hospital has been in business in the City of Kelsey since 1975. Patton-Fuller Community hospital structure from an IT network perspective includes logical network, administration network details, radiology, RIS data center, OR/ICU/Ward floor systems, and IT data center.  
Identify how data is transmitted within the hospital and externally.
Patton-Fuller network structure for the entire hospital is 1000Base T using CAT 6 cable. Some departments are using a network structure of 1000BaseF using single mode fiber. The administrative side of the hospital is mostly using the 1000BaseT (Hospital Executive Management, Human Resources, Operations, Facilities, Finance, and IT Data Center). The clinical areas are those that are using 1000BaseF (Radiology, Operating Rooms, Wards, ICU’s, Emergency Room, Labs, and Pharmacy). Patton-Fuller has a complete power backup system that is a large diesel motor generator that automatically takes over in a power failure. Patton-Fuller uses a network bridge to connect logical networks. Patton-Fuller Community hospital structure from an IT network perspective includes logical network, administration network details, radiology, RIS data center, OR/ICU/Ward floor systems, and IT data center.   The Data is being transmitted throughout Patton-Fuller Community Hospital by using a network bridge. Each workstation in the administrative function segment uses an DHCP Server to obtain IP address. The clinical function segment IP addresses are static IP’s. All workstations are connected to an internal domain. The outbound data is going through a proxy server.
