Abstract
Hospitals generate a large number of data sets of different types and formats and it is required to integrate these data sets for their rapid and simultaneous communication in order for a better treatment of patients and to cut the escalating costs. A better approach to meet this requirement is to have a distributed system linked all together with a high capacity LAN using an efficient integration method.
This thesis begins by studying the characteristic feature and suitability of Queued Packet & Synchronous Exchange (QPSX) network architecture. The network models are simulated for QPSX, Ethernet and Token Bus networks for the developed hospital model. The performance of all three networks are derived from their respective simulation model and then compared with each other. The validity of the results obtained by the simulation of these networks are also tested by finding out the confidence interval. The results indicate that the QPSX network has the superior performance characteristics compared to ethernet and token bus for this environment.
