Assessment Brief

 

Part 1:

 

Assignment Description

For this coursework, you are required to design and justify the implementation of a network infrastructure for “HealthCareNet Solutions.”

Task: Design and Implement Network Infrastructure for “ HealthCareNet Solutions “

Brief:

Company:  HealthCareNet Solutions

Industry: Health Sector

Objective: Develop a robust and scalable network infrastructure to support the increasing demand for telemedicine services, electronic health records (EHR) systems, and remote patient monitoring.

Background:

HealthCareNet Solutions is a national healthcare provider offering telemedicine services, electronic health records (EHR) systems, and remote patient monitoring. The organization is expanding rapidly, and its current network infrastructure is no longer sufficient to support high-volume video consultations, large-scale data storage, and secure patient communication.

Requirements:

1. Bandwidth
2. Security
3. Scalability
4. Reliability

 

Expected Outcomes:

• Enhanced user experience for medical professionals and patients.

• Secure, compliant data management in accordance with healthcare regulations.
• Scalable infrastructure to support future growth of the organization.

 

 

 

Part 1: Justify a Network Infrastructural Strategy (LO1)

Tasks:

1. Bandwidth: Ensure smooth, high-quality video consultations for remote patient care.
2. Security: Implement robust data encryption and secure access to patient records.
3. Scalability: Design the network to accommodate future expansion, both in terms of services and user base.
4. Reliability: Ensure continuous service with minimal downtime to avoid disruptions in patient care.

 

Deliverable (Part1): A detailed report presenting the proposed network infrastructure strategy, including justifications for each component.

 

Component	Maximum Mark
Assessing organisation’s needs	10
Network strategy	20
Security measure	15
Research and report writing	5
Total	50

 

Part 2: Apply Networking Principles and Protocols (LO2)

Tasks:

1. Network Design: Develop a practical network layout tailored to the needs of the healthcare provider.
2. Protocol Configuration: Set up networking devices (e.g., routers, switches) using appropriate protocols such as OSPF for routing and VPNs or IPSec for secure communication.
3. Testing & Validation: Simulate the network and confirm it supports required services like video consultations, secure patient data transmission, and efficient storage access.

 

Deliverable (part 2)

• A practical network implementation plan.
• A demonstration of the network setup in a simulated environment – PacketTracer.

 

 

 

 

Assessment Criteria:

Accuracy: Solutions meet the requirements and address the given problems.

Justification: Clear and logical reasoning behind the proposed strategy and implementations.

Technical Competence: Correct application of networking principles and protocols.

Documentation: Detailed and clear documentation of the strategy, implementation steps, and testing procedures.

 

Part 3: Personal Reflection

 

Write a critical reflection on the outcomes of the assessment – in relation to your personal, academic and professional development. (200-250 words)

 

Marks Distribution	Component	Maximum Mark
Part 2	Network design	20
	Configuration	10
	Testing and validation	10
Part 3	Personal Reflection	10
	Total	50
