Defining WANs and LANs
By Carol S. Miller; RN, MBA
Depending on whether the practice is housed in one or multiple-office locations and there is a need to connect multiple computers, either a local area network (LAN) or wide are network (WAN) should be part of the package consideration.
The LAN
The LAN is a computer network that covers only a small area (often a single office or building). The advantage of a LAN (besides connecting several computers to a network system) is the ability to configure one printer for multiple stations. The same may be said for sharing administrative, clinical, financial and operational data in real-time manner to support smooth office function.
The WAN
The WAN provides the ability to link data on one network for multiple office site locations.
