Patient files, test results, prescriptions, billing \u2014 everything that circulates on a clinic's network is health data, the category of information most protected by the GDPR.<\/p>\n
A data breach is not just a technical problem: it is a CNPD proceeding, the difficult phone call to patients, a reputation built over years unravelling in a week. And the most common entry point for problems like this is, precisely, a Wi-Fi network set up \u201cjust to work\u201d without any thought given to security.<\/p>\n
The golden rule is simple to state: Anyone in the waiting room can never be on the same network as the clinical software<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In practice, a well-set-up clinic has three networks: the patients' network (simple, isolated internet), the staff's network (clinical software, diary, billing \u2014 protected and monitored), and the equipment network (printers, cameras, connected medical devices). Each in its own space, unable to see one another. It is this separation that turns a potential incident into an impossible one.<\/p>\n There is a cost of bad Wi-Fi that few clinics measure:<\/p>\n DataRoad manages the IT for clinics and doctor's surgeries<\/a> \u2014 including cases like the Lambert Clinic<\/a>. The process: we assess the current network and risks, we design the network separation, We install professional equipment<\/a> outside of consultation hours, and we manage and monitor \u2014 with clinical data backups and an SLA-guaranteed response. The clinic looks after the patients; we look after the network.<\/p>\n A chat before making a decision<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re tackling a specific problem, planning a move or simply looking for a second opinion, we always start in the same way: by understanding your situation before making any suggestions. No obligation, no jargon and no catalogues.<\/p>\nSpeed is query time<\/h2>\n
