Every community in the world expects to have a high value of life. Therefore, budgets are pooling to the local healthcare unit to increase healthcare and medical services to their citizen. One common implementation in the healthcare system is a healthcare network, where all necessary information are transferred to safe patients’ lives. Various developments in medical equipments integrate communication circuit to enhance ability to transmit data direct from patients to medical staffs so that their lives can be safe in time. Since the implementation of wireless network is widely spread, this paper proposes the integration of the wireless network and wired network to serve a healthcare system under a management policy. The results have shown that the proposed architecture with policy has a better quality of services than another alternative solution using QoS standard metrics. Thus, the paper ensures that a qualified healthcare network can be achieved under the condition that the suitable architecture must be implemented and the right management policies are also applied.
