Tactical handsets, headsets and communication systems are crucial for all military, Special Forces, homeland security and police (SWAT) operations. Reliable and secure tactical communications are imperative to maintaining command and control for ground, air and marine operations. Communication Systems Engineering, 2nd edition, offers comprehensive coverage of the basic principles in the analysis and design of modern communication systems, and review of important mathematical foundation topics.It is primarily intended for use as a text for a first course in communications. His research interests include nonlinear dynamics, neural networks and adaptive filters and their applications in radar and communications systems. Haykin is the editor for a series of books on ’Adaptive and Learning Systems for Signal Processing, Communications and Control’ published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Communications Systems, Inc. Brings tradition and innovation together in a robust company focused on keeping people and businesses connected. Established as a regional telecommunications firm in 1969, CSI has deep roots in the Midwest and a global reach that extends to customers in more than 100 countries worldwide.
There are a great many different types of communication systems, due to the fact that each one has the potential to contain a vast array of components. There are, however, several categories that each type of system can usually be placed into. The types of communications systems are usually discernible by the primary medium through which the information is transmitted. Communication systems may also be classified as one-way, two-way, or multiple-way systems, depending on how many parties can exchange information through its various components.
One example is a radio communication system. The medium through which information is transmitted iselectromagnetic waves, and more specifically those with frequencies that are lower than the frequency of visible light. On one end of these radio systems is a transmitter that will take the information and electronically convert it into radio waves. These radio waves travel to the other end of the radio communication system, which is designed to detect and decode the waves and convert them to recognizable information. A simple two-way radio system may comprise of two handheld transceivers, for example, which are more commonly referred to as walkie-talkies.
Power line communication systems are used to transmit electronically from a source or array of sources to their destinations. A type of electronic system that often is referred to is cable television, widely known for its transmission of a plethora of channels throughout homes in addition to their use for providing Internet access. Power line communication systems are often used because of their relatively low cost, even though there are other systems that surpass them in quality and efficiency.
Optical communication systems offer many improvements over other types, and have also been responsible for revolutionizing the telecommunications industry. The main reason for this is because the medium used in optical systems is light, which allows for them to be faster, clearer, and more reliable than electrical or radio signals. These reliable signals are usually carried through optical fiber, although an optical signal can be sent over relatively short distances through the air, usually only over a couple of miles.
As mentioned, communication systems are far from simple and can contain a wide range of components to uphold continuous operation. In addition to the above systems, communications networks may utilize Internet, cellular, wireless, satellite technologies and more. Those systems which take advantage of two or more media are referred to as hybrid communication networks. Much research is being devoted to finding better ways of developing communications systems through countless combinations of all of these communications technologies.
Although there are many types of communication systems in healthcare, they generally fall into three categories – provider-to-provider, provider-to-patient, and internal. Internal communications include all forms of staff messaging, from requests to cover vacant shifts to emergency notifications.
In 2006, Dr. Enrico Coiera published an article in the Clinical Biochemist Review – Communication Systems in Healthcare – in which he wrote “if information is the lifeblood of healthcare, then communication systems are the heart that pumps it”. Inasmuch as the article was ahead of its time, it is unlikely Dr. Coiera could have conceived how quickly communication systems in hospitals would evolve.
Three years after the publication of the article, Congress passed the HITECH Act which incentivized the meaningful use of Electronic Health Records (EHRs). As a consequence, EHR adoption increased from 3.2% per year to 14.2% per year within six years. Then, in 2013, the HIPAA Omnibus Rule resulted in covered entities implementing communication systems that ensured the security and integrity of ePHI.Communication Systems in Hospitals Continue to Evolve
Communication systems in hospitals continue to evolve in order to improve the delivery of healthcare and enhance productivity. For example, there are now systems for processing referrals, test results, and prescriptions; and systems for collaborating on patient care and aftercare with the objective of reducing readmission rates – which are also incentivized under the Hospitals Readmission Reduction Program.
Generally the different communication systems in healthcare fall into three categories. There are provider-to-provider systems used (for example) for patient transfers, external clinical procedures, and insurance transactions. There are provider-to-patient systems such as telemedicine consultations and appointment reminders; and there are internal messaging systems which cover a wide range of scenarios from requests to cover vacant shifts to emergency notifications. Communication Systems In HealthcareProvider-to-Provider Communication Systems
In most cases, provider-to-provider communication systems in healthcare fall under the administrative, physical and administrative guidelines of the HIPAA Security Rule. This means covered entities have to protect the security and integrity of ePHI when it is sent or received in an electronic format and ensure the ePHI is not disclosed, amended, or deleted without authorization.
The rules regarding this category of communication systems in healthcare are extremely rigid. They include the necessity to implement ID authentication mechanisms, audit trails, and data encryption. The Department of Health and Human Services can issue substantial fines if the guidelines of the HIPAA Security Rule are not complied with – even if no data breach results from the HIPAA violation.Provider-to-Patient Communication Systems
The most common provider-to-patient communication systems in healthcare have already been mentioned – telemedicine consultations and appointment reminders – and, although these systems do not require the same security measures as provider-to-provider, their use falls under the HIPAA Privacy Rule inasmuch as patient consent must be sought before any of these systems are used to communicate PHI and, when consent is receive, communications are subject to the Minimum Necessary Standard.
In addition to provider-to-patient systems, there are also patient-to-provider systems. These can range from remote clinical consultation services (i.e. consultation by email) to nurse call systems that alert healthcare professions to changes in patients´ conditions. Patient-to-provider systems can also be integrated into EHRs in order to automatically update patient records – in which case they are subject to the technical safeguards of the HIPAA Security Rule.Internal Communication Systems
Whether or not internal communication systems are subject to the HIPAA Security Rule can depend on how they are configured. For example, systems that are protected by a firewall can be used to communicate unencrypted ePHI provided the Minimum Necessary Standard is complied with. In all cases, internal communications are subject to the HIPAA Privacy Rule – which can create challenges during emergencies, when patients have to be evacuated or a post-disaster surge occurs.
In these cases, healthcare organizations will be required to activate CMS´ mandated Emergency Preparedness Plans, which should stipulate how communications during an emergency are conducted. Unless the Department of Health and Human Services has waived HIPAA compliance, it is better for internal communication systems to support audit trails in order that accountability is ensured. This also applies to internal communication systems that automatically activate code calls.Compliant Use is Just as Important as Compliant SystemsCommunication Systems For Motorcycle HelmetsCommunication Systems Definition
Regardless of which category communication systems in healthcare fall into, their compliant use is just as important as the compliance of the system. Effective training and safeguards can reduce the risk of a HIPAA breach; and for further advice about using each of the systems mentioned above in compliance with HIPAA, it is recommended healthcare organizations seek professional advice.
