According to Ms. Connor, “Protecting data gathered in an EHR (electronic healthcare record) is critical. This includes data not only in the data center infrastructure, but of endpoint devices as well, such as desktops, remote servers and laptops. Additionally, healthcare companies must have a disaster recovery plan that lets them recover data quickly. This plan may include offsite backups, which prevent all copies of a practices’ data from being destroyed in a single catastrophic event or continuous saving of changes to a disk-based device where it is later copied to tape for offsite transport. This webinar will offer insights into how to securely protect critical data in light of the new electronic healthcare records mandate.”

 

“As requirements increase for EHR systems to improve patient service and systems efficiency, healthcare providers must find faster, more flexible solutions that preserve and enable access to all medical data,” said Mr. Kramer. “An advanced disk-based data protection solution overcomes technical challenges to simplify EHR data management. The resulting benefits to healthcare providers include lower cost of storing patient record data, simplified management practices, assured availability of data through local and site disasters, and better capability to meet growing demands to share EHR data with other healthcare providers.”
