Healthcare is one of the most appropriate environments for wireless LANs with its naturally mobile population of doctors, nurses and other caregivers. Wi-Fi networks can bring about great benefits to staff and patients, and help healthcare institutions meet goals of reducing preventable medical errors and streamlining patient care and billing. Due to strict HIPAA requirements, care must be taken to properly secure the wireless LAN network. Beyond using the built-in measures provided by the wireless LAN system vendor, healthcare institutions should consider a third party security monitoring system to prevent common and malicious vulnerabilities. Wireless intrusion prevention systems can monitor the entire corporate air space, ensuring that only authorized devices and authorized Wi-Fi connections are made, guaranteeing security and helping to enforce HIPAA requirements.
