Q

What is operating system

A

part of software
o Windows, Mac OS, Android iOS, etc
o Executes application programs
o Manages resources
 For sharing internal memory and processor(s)
 Handles I/O devices
 Manages space on external storage devices

18
Q

aspects of networking

A
  • Telecommunications links
  • Modems
  • Routers
  • Hosts
  • Clients
  • Servers
  • Nodes
19
Q
  • Telecommunications links
A

how devices communicate

o Eg. modems, ethernet cables, fiber optic cables, radio for satellites

20
Q
  • Modems
A

allow you to connect to the internet through your ISP

o Eg. a modem connects your home network (LAN) to your ISP’s network (WAN) to get the internet

21
Q
  • Routers
A

create networks by allowing > 2 computers and the modem to connect
o Eg. it takes the signal from your modem and “routes” it to your devices
o Think of a wireless routers
o Eg. your computer connects to your wireless printers using a router

22
Q
  • Hosts
A

computers connected to networks

o eg. smartphones, laptops, iPads, etc

23
Q
  • Clients
A

are computers or programs that connect to a network and retrieve data

24
Q

servers

A

provide service for clients

o Eg. email servers, database servers, game servers

25
Q
  • Nodes
A

are any device that is attached to a network and transmits, receives, or forwards info
o Nodes can be clients and servers
o Includes hosts linked by modems, routers, etc

26
Q

LAN

A

Local Area Network (LAN)

  • Connects computers within a small building
  • May be wired (via network cables, often running ethernet protocol) or wireless
  • Requires network interface card
  • May include a router to connect to other networks
27
Q

WAN

A

Wide Area Network (WAN)

  • Connects computers far away
  • Requires host computers for network and communications management
28
Q

TCP/IP

A

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

  • Standard procedures for addressing and transmitting messages
  • Messages broken into data packets at source
  • Analogy: cut letter into pieces and put each fragment in its own envelope
  • Packets are routed independently
  • Packets are re-assembled into message at end
29
Q

IP Addresses

A
  • Unique identification for every computer (host) on a network (WAN, LAN, Internet)
  • Eg. 129.97.128.216 is the web server for the school at UW
  • Hierarchical allocation of addresses
  • 129.97.M.N allocated to UW by the central authority which is the Internet Corporation for Assigned Named and Numbers (ICANN)
  • Server for Domain Name System (DNS) consults registry to translate host names (eg. pharmacy/uwaterloo.ca) to corresponding IP addresses
30
Q

HTTP

A

HTTP – Hyper Text Transfer Protocol
- Communication protocol between clients and servers
- Utilized TCP to transfer information between computers
- Client/server model:
o Client: browser that requests, receives, displays
o Server: receives request and responds to them

31
Q

networking and secrurity

A

Firewalls and VPN

32
Q

what are firewalls

A

barriers between trusted networks (your home) and untrusted networks (the internet)
o Built into routers
o Can be added as antivirus software
- Even with firewalls, the most important thing you can do it not connect to untrusted sources

33
Q

VPN

A

virtual private network :part of security
allows remote users on the WAN to access a LAN
o Essentially a “secure tunnel”
o How you access the virtual lab computer off campus or patient records from home
o Need to act at home as you would in the hospital when you are on a VPN
 Do not leave screens open, do not show people records, do not talk about the records in a public space

34
Q

Authentication 101

A
-	Something you know 
o	PIN, password, pattern 
-	Something you have 
o	Smartwatch to open smartphone, FOB
-	Something you are
o	Fingerprint, iris 
-	Healthcare typically prefers multifactor authentication (2 or more options) 
o	Eg. FOB and password, smartwatch and fingerprint
35
Q

Encryption 101

A
  • Encryption is the process of mathematically converting info to render it unintelligible without a key to decode it
    o Sender uses algorithms to encode info and receivers uses same algorithms to decode
    o How a VPN creates the “secure tunnel”
    o Eg. caeser cipher, german enigma machine
36
Q

HTTPS

A
  • HTTPS = HTTP + security

- Provides data encryption and server authentication

37
Q

HL7

A
  • An international standard to allow the exchange, integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information
  • Provide messaging standard of certain common communication
    o Eg. MedicationDispense, MedicationRequest
  • HL7 message can be transferred through HTTPS to provide communication between different systems
    o Eg. EMR/HER/PMS
