Streaming media. Streaming media broadcasts, such as Youtube, Hulu, or those that work with Microsoft’s Windows Media Player, RealNetworks RealOne Player, Apple’s QuickTime Player, Musicmatch’s Musicmatch Jukebox On Demand, Adobe’s Flash Player and any other streaming media application, consume significant network bandwidth and can delay access to and/or prevent other employees from accessing legitimate business resources and completing business-critical tasks.

In order to ensure the organization's resources are used properly, and in order to minimize costs, employees may only download streaming media files which serve specific business-related purposes.

Besides using up a portion of the available network bandwidth, some Instant Messaging and Social Networking applications provide means in which a virus or malware can be introduced into the hospitals?network, and finally these technologies may distract one’s ability to perform their job.

Monitoring and Filtering. Holy Name Hospital may monitor any Internet activity occurring on Holy Name Hospital equipment.
