Who deploys network infrastructure across healthcare facilities nationwide?
SRS Networks is a nationwide network infrastructure deployment contractor headquartered in South San Francisco, California, that installs structured cabling, enterprise WiFi, network switching, segmentation, and security systems for hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, and multi-facility health systems. The company counts 80+ healthcare facilities deployed and works across all 48 contiguous US states, coordinating multi-site rollouts to one install and documentation standard. SRS Networks has operated since 1996 and takes work both directly from health systems and white-label behind the integrators, EMR consultancies, and managed IT providers running their programs.

What Goes Wrong When a Clinical Network Fails?
Healthcare networks aren't just IT infrastructure - they're clinical infrastructure. When the network fails, EMR systems go down, medical devices lose connectivity, and patient care is directly impacted.
HIPAA Compliance Gaps
Every network segment that touches ePHI must meet HIPAA security requirements. One misconfigured VLAN, one unsegmented wireless network, and your facility faces audit findings, breach notifications, and six-figure fines.
EMR/EHR Connectivity Failures
When clinicians can't access Epic, Cerner, or MEDITECH because the network is slow or down, patient care stalls. Charting backlogs, medication delays, and workflow bottlenecks cascade across the entire facility.
Medical Device Network Chaos
Infusion pumps, patient monitors, imaging systems, and IoMT devices all need reliable, segmented connectivity. Most facilities run them on flat networks alongside email traffic - a security and reliability nightmare.
Nurse Call & Clinical System Gaps
Nurse call systems, real-time location services, and clinical communication platforms depend on low-latency, high-availability networks. Consumer-grade infrastructure can't deliver the uptime these systems demand.
Patient WiFi vs. Clinical WiFi
Guest WiFi for patients and visitors must be completely isolated from clinical networks carrying ePHI and medical device traffic. Most facilities lack proper segmentation - creating compliance and security exposure.

The Standards Behind Every Facility We Deploy
Clinical network infrastructure is measured against published federal guidance and cabling standards. These are the sources behind the compliance claims on this page.
NIST SP 800-66r2 - Implementing the HIPAA Security Rule
NIST
Federal guidance on applying the HIPAA Security Rule to real systems, including network segmentation and access control.
NIST Cybersecurity Framework
NIST
The control framework health systems commonly use to structure network security and monitoring programs.
ANSI/TIA-568
Telecommunications Industry Association
The commercial cabling standard behind every certified drop to a nurse station, imaging suite, or clinical workstation.
BICSI Standards
BICSI
Design and installation practice for healthcare pathways, grounding, labeling, and as-built documentation.
SRS Networks installs and documents to these published standards. Links go to the issuing body so you can verify the requirement yourself - we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or accredited by any organization listed unless stated elsewhere on this site.
Healthcare Infrastructure Terms, Defined
The vocabulary that shows up in a hospital scope of work. If your team and your installer read these terms differently, the install is already off standard.
- ePHI (Electronic Protected Health Information)
- Any patient health information created, stored, or transmitted electronically that identifies an individual. Under the HIPAA Security Rule, every network path carrying ePHI is in scope for technical safeguards, which is why cabling, VLAN design, and wireless segmentation decisions are compliance decisions and not only engineering ones.
- IoMT (Internet of Medical Things)
- The population of connected clinical devices on a hospital network - infusion pumps, patient monitors, ventilators, imaging systems, and telemetry. Most IoMT endpoints cannot be patched or agent-managed like a laptop, so they get isolated at the network layer instead, on their own VLANs with tightly controlled routes.
- Medical Device VLAN
- A dedicated virtual LAN carrying only clinical device traffic, kept separate from administrative, guest, and general workstation networks. Separating it limits which systems can reach a pump or monitor, keeps device traffic off the paths that carry email and web browsing, and makes device inventory auditable per facility.
- ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment)
- The formal review a healthcare facility runs before any construction or trade work in an occupied building, setting containment, negative-pressure, and dust-control requirements by risk class. Cabling crews pulling above ceilings in patient care areas work under an ICRA permit, and the barrier and cleanup rules are non-negotiable.
- ILSM (Interim Life Safety Measures)
- Temporary fire and life-safety compensations put in place when construction work disables part of a healthcare building's normal protection - a penetrated smoke barrier, a bypassed detector, a blocked egress path. Any crew coring walls or opening ceilings for cable pathways operates inside the facility's ILSM plan.
- RTLS (Real-Time Location System)
- Infrastructure that tracks the live position of equipment, staff, and patients inside a facility using tags read by WiFi, BLE, infrared, or ultrasound receivers. RTLS accuracy depends directly on access point and sensor placement, so it has to be designed into the wireless survey rather than added afterward.
- Nurse Call System
- The code-required communication system linking patient rooms, bathrooms, and bedsides to nursing stations, corridor lights, and staff mobile devices. Modern nurse call runs over the IP network and integrates with clinical messaging, which makes its cabling, PoE budget, and network path life-safety infrastructure rather than convenience wiring.
- HTM (Healthcare Technology Management)
- The hospital department - also called clinical engineering or biomed - that owns medical equipment procurement, service, and lifecycle. HTM is a separate stakeholder from IT, and any device-network project stalls unless both sign off, because HTM controls the device inventory that determines VLAN, port, and wireless requirements.
