Securing Data over Computer Networks
When designing a network, data security must be included in the design plan because protecting data while it is transmitted is very important especially if is is sensitive data. additionally, authenticating users when trying to open protexted pages is also very important to avoid stoling data. finally receiver must assure that the data is received as transmitted. the previous points are explained below separately.
When transmitting data across a network, many attackers exist that can intercept the data and read it. the data are transmitted in the form of binary signals. any one having a detector can read this pulses on the line. the data transmitted can be very sensitive especially in milattery applications.

Clinical Information Technology
The release of the 1999 Institute of Medicine (IOM) report on patient safety, titled To Err is Human, focused most healthcare providers on software products that regularly impact care delivered by physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals. These systems include electronic medical records, computerized practitioner order entry, pharmacy systems, medication administrations systems, and imaging storage and retrieval systems.
To foster patient safety and reduce medical errors, organizations implement a variety of clinical information technology tools to achieve specific results. These systems include applications that address accessibility of clinical patient information, medication management, and support the of the clinical decision-making processes.
