1. A supervision network system for efficiently handling requests from multiple end users across multiple industries, the supervision network system being implemented on a private enterprise intranet over a high-speed network that includes fiber optic and wireless segments, and the supervision network system comprising:

  • (I) a managed, authentication module comprising (i) an authentication server, (ii) a directory server, and (iii) an application server, wherein the authentication module is configured to;

    authenticate, using the authentication server, end users, including at least (i) supervisor end users, (ii) supervisee end users, and (iii) data-providing end users, through a certificate authority process in which the authentication server provides a public key and a private key to each end user, wherein the authentication server has a non-routable, private intranet IP address that is identifiable through a National Address Translation framework, andin response to receiving single sign-on requests that are initiated from wireless and wired devices belonging to end users;

    identify, using the directory server, data, from among at least five independent channels of data, to which each end user has rights to access, andwith the application server, provide access to the identified data, wherein the single sign-on requests are received through a single firewall, and wherein the directory server has a non-routable, private intranet IP address that is identifiable through the National Address Translation framework;

    (II) a managed, machine module comprising a Java-enabled machine that is configured to communicate with multiple different systems, wherein the machine module is configured to;

    receive data from authenticated users,separate the data from the authenticated users into the at least five independent, managed data channels, including;

    (i) a first data channel of audio or video data,(ii) a second data channel of record data,(iii) a third data channel of real-time diagnostic data,(iv) a fourth data channel of treatment data, and(v) a fifth data channel of administrative data,standardize, in XML, the received data that is not already in XML, andprovide the received data associated with the data channel that is already (i) separated into the at least five independent data channels, and (ii) in XML, to a respective intelligent router that is associated with each data channel to be routed to a respective switch associated with the data channel;

    (III) a managed, control central database module comprising (i) central application programmatic interfaces, (ii) a central server, (iii) a central database, and (iv) a redundant backup database, wherein the control central database module is configured to;

    receive, by the central application programmatic interfaces and from the switches that are associated with the data channels, the data that is (i) separated into the at least five independent data channels, and (ii) in XML, andstore, by a central server that is associated with the central application programmatic interfaces, the data in chronological order and synchronized to the end users, both (i) in the central database and (ii) in the redundant backup database, wherein the central server has a respective non-routable, private intranet IP address that is identifiable through the National Address Translation framework;

    (IV) a network management module comprising (i) Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agents and (ii) an analytics module for generating alerts and guidelines based on real-time diagnostic data indicating an abnormal condition, wherein the analytics module comprises an online analytical processing server, a data mining server, or a neural network server with forward chaining, wherein the network management module is for managing the supervision network system, including the authentication module, the machine module, the control central database module, the analytics module, and the at least first through fifth independent data channels, and wherein the network management module is configured to;

    in response to receiving one or more inputs from one or more administrator users that are monitoring the supervision network system to eliminate network problems, using statistical information exposed by the SNMP agents;

    adjust a respective right of each end user to access the data of the at least first through fifth independent data channels,filter the received data that is separated into the at least five independent data channels; and

    (V) a supervision graphical user interface module that is configured to output a visual representation of data that each end user has rights to access, in a respective, pre-designated user interface region that is reserved for each of the at least five independent data channels, wherein the alerts, the guidelines, and any output of the analytics module are output in the user interface region that is reserved for the fifth data channel of administrative data.
