Study Notes
Optical Ethernet in National Networks
- Optical Ethernet facilitates connectivity across a network of cities.
- Each facility requires an Electronic Medical Record (EMR) for inter-facility connections.
- Hospitals are already equipped with EMRs, leveraging Optical Ethernet capabilities.
Virtual Private Network (VPN) Benefits
- VPNs significantly reduce networking costs, with maintenance handled by Internet service providers (ISPs).
- Cost reduction through VPNs allows for streamlined network management.
Gateway Functionality
- Gateways connect different network types, enabling city networks to interlink with one another.
Longitudinal Record Service
- Essential for gathering data from registries, repositories, and other information sources, promoting comprehensive data collection.
Cloud Computing Advantages
- Smaller hospitals and medical practices can access affordable, on-premise IT solutions without hardware or software investments.
- Eliminates the need for internal IT staff, allowing practitioners to focus on patient care.
Impact of Big Data Analytics
- McKinsey estimates that big data in U.S. healthcare can yield over $300 billion in annual savings.
- Approximately 8% reduction in national healthcare expenditures represents two-thirds of the estimated savings through data-driven efficiencies.
