A friend of yours has just finished her medical degree at a western U.S. university and has successfully passed the state medical board examination at that state and also here in Florida. Your friend with a few of her colleagues from the university is going to open a practice here in Florida, in the Crystal River area. After hearing of your completion in this class, they want you to come on board with their medical practice as an IT and security adviser . They will have a small private practice office with a reception area, a laboratory area, two offices that will be shared by the physicians and NPs, 6 examination rooms, and several closets for storage. Your friend wants to reduce networking costs by using primarily a wireless LAN within the office. Each examination room as well as the receptionist desk, laboratory room, and the two doctor’s offices will all have computers connected to this network, with a central combination Web and file server that will be wired to a local Internet provider and serve as the primary wireless AP. They will accept both credit card and cash payments from their patients, but no checks. What federal regulations is this new medical practice required to comply with? What other compliance requirements does this medical practice have (in addition to federal)? Specify what your friend will need to do to become compliant with any healthcare specific regulations you have specified.
