Implementing a nursing administration local area network.

Abstract

Several factors should be considered in planning and implementing a nursing administration Local Area Network (LAN). Initial support from nursing management and your organization's information systems department are key to successful acceptance by hospital administration. Involvement of all users and support staff in the process will assure acceptance and an efficient roll-out. Flexibility is critical as the best-laid plans suffer delays when a large project is initiated. Adequate support will assure a smoother process for implementing and maintaining a nursing LAN.
