The Manuel Piti Fajardo Hospital, according to the scope of health services it provides, has a system for Hospital Management, the Galen Clinica. This system requires a well-structured network design, with the appropriate equipment that responds quickly and efficiently to the traffic generated in the network. In line with this objective, a cost-benefit study was carried out, after applying the LAN design methodology and calculating approximately the traffic generated on the network in the main departments of the hospital, whether it be the Matrix or the Unit. Surgical and Imaging. With this, the result was to locate the network backbone, and determine the network components that should be replaced according to the financial budget of the hospital, a better response to the requests made by users and according to the evolution of technologies. of information and communications. 2021 2021 88 98 10.54216/IJWAC.020204 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/20/show/813
