Planning Network Infrastructure for a New Medical Centre

Medical centre technology gets planned last and needed first. The drops, communications room and access control decisions belong in the drawings, not in the two weeks before opening.

Plan a drop at every exam room, admin station, check-in position and imaging device, plus spares. Size the communications room for the equipment plus growth, with power and cooling accounted for.

Access control on clinical doors, medication storage and records areas should be specified alongside the cabling so both systems share one infrastructure and one install schedule.
