Introduction

Hey guys... welcome to my blog!!!  This blog will be dedicated to IT in the healthcare industry.  Hospitals, medical offices, and other healthcare facilities use IT in a number of different ways and are usually home to the latest technological advances known to mankind.  This is why IT is critical in this type of setting because it is required that data is fast, reliable, and secure.  In a healthcare setting, it is imparative that the availability of the network is near 100%, therefore, downtime just isn't an option.  In this blog, I will not only introduce the latest and greatest but also explore the challenges we face in healthcare IT everyday, from meeting the demands of bandwidth intensive medical applications to ensuring that the security of data abides by HIPPA regulations.  Thanks for coming and enjoy my blog!!
