01
Define the operating scope
Include hospital and clinic Endlets, EHR, PACS, pharmacy systems in a representative operating scope.
Healthcare
Clinical service continuity · Briefing
Define the operating requirements for clinical service continuity.
Maintain protected connectivity for EHR, PACS, pharmacy, and care-delivery systems as underlay paths degrade.
Primary capability
Slip-Routing + DEFT
Operational outcome
Define the operating constraint, systems, and decision.
Keep care-delivery applications reachable when a carrier, circuit, or regional path degrades.
02
Trace the protected path
care-site Endlets → identity-bound fabric admission → protected clinical-service paths → continuous transport health evaluation → policy-approved failover
03
Review the decision
Determine whether clinical services can remain available without weakening segmentation or machine-assurance policy.
Outcome readiness
Define the systems and constraints for clinical service continuity.
Give network, security, and operational teams one service path to review and one decision to make.
Include hospital and clinic Endlets in the selected scope.
Include EHR in the selected scope.
Include PACS in the selected scope.
Include pharmacy systems in the selected scope.
Include identity services in the selected scope.
Include primary and alternate transports in the selected scope.
Inputs
hospital and clinic Endlets, EHR, PACS, pharmacy systems, identity services, primary and alternate transports
Path
care-site Endlets → identity-bound fabric admission → protected clinical-service paths → continuous transport health evaluation → policy-approved failover
Evidence
Endlet admission state, path-health telemetry, route transitions, service reachability, policy enforcement, and recovery timing
