Founded in 1936, Vancouver Clinic provides high-quality private
healthcare, urgent care facilities, and regional and neighborhood
clinics to patients across the Southern Washington area. Its
existing network was unable to support the requirements of a
mobile-first healthcare environment.
“Our outdated infrastructure made it difficult to add modern
healthcare services and deliver reliable connectivity for staff,
nurses, and doctors to access patient records and utilize medical
devices,” said Eric Davis, IT Infrastructure Architect, Vancouver
Clinic.
Working with leading solutions provider Structured,
Vancouver Clinic deployed Aruba Access Points and Mobility
Controllers, Access Switches, AirWave for network management and
visibility, and ClearPass for full wireless and wired Network
Access Control (NAC). These solutions help manage and secure the
infrastructure for all locations from a central point of
control.
Aruba’s ArubaOS 8 was also a key factor in
Vancouver Clinic’s decision to select Aruba. With Mobility
Master, which has the ability to do hierarchical folders and
clustered controllers, the Clinic can perform live network upgrades
without interrupting connectivity for staff, nurses, and
physicians.
Pervasive Wi-Fi for Employees and Guests
In addition to secure connectivity for Vancouver Clinic’s
medical devices and computers, employees can securely onboard their
mobile device of choice. From their devices they can communicate
with other staff through their messaging app,
Telemediq, and can update patients’ health records
with the Epic mobile app. Additionally, the wireless
network enables mobile scribe applications for physicians’
assistants to take notes and smart pagers.
Because more than half of the devices that connect to Vancouver
Clinic’s network belong to patients and their visitors, the Aruba
infrastructure also delivers a simple-to-use guest connection that
keeps guest traffic separate from the Clinic’s infrastructure
traffic.
Vancouver Clinic is also using Aruba remote APs
(RAPs) to provide call center employees with a pre-configured,
secure connection from their home office. Instead of managing VPN
software client connections, the employees can seamlessly and
securely connect to the Clinic’s corporate network using the RAP as
a VPN appliance to assist patients more efficiently.
ClearPass Provides IoT Security Across the Wired and Wireless
Network
A key factor in the IT team’s decision was Aruba
ClearPass, which addresses Vancouver Clinic’s security
concerns as they add more IoT devices to their network including
portable EKG machines, heart rate monitors, temperature sensors on
vaccination refrigerators, and wireless cameras. ClearPass allows
the IT team to quickly and easily create policies for
authenticating and onboarding these devices.
“With ClearPass, we want to be able to take control of the
network by authenticating and authorizing each device individually,
whether they are wired or wireless,” said Davis. “By integrating
ClearPass with the rest of our Aruba mobile-first network, we can
embrace IoT, adding new types of devices quickly and easily.”
Moving forward, Vancouver Clinic is confident that its new Aruba
infrastructure will help the organization meet its current and
future requirements, including the organization’s new neighborhood
clinic locations.
Said Davis, “With our Aruba mobile-first network in place, we
can address our challenges and adopt a next-generation approach to
healthcare.”
