PFCH Network Design Plan Checklist

Your Learning Team has been selected to consult for Patton-Fuller Community Hospital (PFCH), a prestigious health care organization. At their last meeting, the hospital board asked your team to develop a proposal on how the organization might upgrade its telecommunications network to improve the quality of health care delivered to hospital patients.

The board requires that the proposal be in two parts:

o The paper must include a minimum of eight outside sources, in addition to the course textbooks and Electronic Reserve Readings, to support your position.

Sections of the paper must conform to deliverables in the table below.

• Network Design

• Network Typology

• LAN, WAN, and Infrastructure

• Network Security

o The paper must be formatted consistent with APA guidelines.

A 15- to 20-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation

o The presentation must include title and reference slides.

Sections of the presentation must conform to deliverables in the table below.

• Network Design

• Network Typology

• LAN, WAN, and Infrastructure

• Network Security

o The presentation must list major points on the slides, with detailed explanations in the speaker notes section that correlate to each point.

The presentation should include videos, audio, photos, diagrams, or graphs as appropriate.

The presentation must include the same references used in the paper to support your position. Include these references on the last slide of the presentation.

The presentation must be formatted consistent with APA guidelines.
