Today, Shahid Shah, author of The Healthcare IT Guy blog, posted an article written by our own Joost Verhofstad, Director of Healthcare Solutions. To give you a quick overview, the article discusses the growing need and demand for safeguarding critical patient information to ensure that unplanned system downtime never comes between patients and their healthcare needs. Here is an excerpt:

“What is the single most reason given by Healthcare IT Administrators for improving IT infrastructure? Without question, Patient Care tops every list, followed closely by federal regulations and costs. With the rise in government mandated regulations such as HIPAA, identifying ways to encourage widespread use of electronic data interchange has resulted in a surge of activity within healthcare organizations from hospitals to pharmaceutical organizations looking for ways to streamline processes that improve patient care and reduce risk. In today’s world, it is imperative that no patient ever has to wait to receive care; especially not as a result of paperwork or technology issues.”
