13. Healthcare WiFi Standards Recommendations, Codes, and Compliances

14. BICSI-004 - Medical Grade Wireless Utility Wireless Design Guide for the Healthcare Industry - Wireless communications is a unique type of “Utility” in hospitals - MGUW is the implementation of a wireless infrastructure that doesn’t require costly and disruptive above ceiling change mgmt. - It is recommended that the wireless environment be characterized Prior to design and installation of cabling Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

15. BICSI-004 Medical Grade Utility Wireless Standard continued… • Growth in hospital wireless needs • The increase in wireless medical devices • The increase in consumer and enterprise use of the WiFi network • Requires a reliable and robust WiFi infrastructure • A wireless infrastructure that involves no above ceiling modifications Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

16. BICSI-004 Medical Grade Utility Wireless Standard continued… • Implementation of Wireless • Below ceiling installation of WiFi access points is a better alternative to above ceiling • They should be installed in a cabinet flush with or below the ceiling, or wall mounted. • MGUW can help prepare the hospital for the changing healthcare IT environment and future wireless technologies Reference: BICSI-004 MGWU

17. TIA 1179 – Healthcare Facility Telecommunications Infrastructure Standard (Policies and procedures to mitigate Airborne Infectious Disease) • Once ceiling tiles are closed, adding or changing cabling could jeopardize infection control measures • Restrictions on removing ceiling tiles impacts adds, moves and changes, and adds significant cost when the need arises to access the ceiling • It is recommended that the wireless environment be characterized prior to and installation of cabling Reference: ANSI-TIA-1179

18. Infectious Control Risk Assessment (ICRA) Lifting or removing ceiling tiles requires the installer to: • Use Negative Air Pressure Enclosure (NAPE), or “tent off” the work area - Use a HEPA air filter Very Costly

19. HIPPA Compliance – Physically Secure the Endpoints • This rule sets national standards for protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of electronic protected health information. • Physically lock access points for security 164.301(a)(1) implement policies and procedures to limit physical access to its electronic information systems… while ensuring that properly authorized access is allowed.
