Virtualisation
Healthcare today is increasingly sophisticated, with more cost pressures and operational complexity than ever before. In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, the pressure to implement electronic health records (EHR) is greater than ever. Healthcare providers need secure access to technology that enables them to quickly obtain and manage treatment information, patient histories and other clinical resources. Seconds make a difference for patient safety and quality of care, and the tools used to access data must be dependable, nimble and flexible.
The true benefits of virtualisation in the clinical environment are time saved, flexibility, and new efficiencies created. Virtualisation overcomes the traditional barriers that dedicated computer systems create for the healthcare industry. With this new approach, you can:
- Facilitate information portability
- Establish foundation for EHR "meaningful use"
- Strengthen information security
- Reduce onsite IT support requirements
- Eliminate redundant login requirements
- Reduce the impact of equipment failure
Why Virtualisation?
In the “traditional” environment where you purchase desktops, storage and physical servers to deliver solutions, you typically face the following:
- Challenges in matching capacity to demand
- Large fixed cost investments are capital intensive
- Distributed models create administrative and security challenges
Dell Services’ new virtualisation solutions help you breakthrough these challenges, and in the process may help you to more effectively:
- Place technology in the hands of healthcare professionals at the point of care, improving clinical decision-making and use of EHRs.
- Simplify data management by storing patient records, images and other information in a virtual environment that is built to suit your needs.
- Reduce capital outlays, making compute power a variable expense by aligning technology to business needs.
Solutions
Our new virtual technology solutions enable healthcare workers to provide a higher level of care to their patients, are far more end-user friendly, and provide a highly reliable and secure environment.
Mobile Clinical Computing. Our cost-effective and easy-to-use virtual desktop solution creates a single, centralised and standardised suite of applications accessible from anywhere. Users can freely move from patient to patient or hospital to home accessing critical information seamlessly. All information is centralised and managed to help you reduce costs and ensure greater regulatory compliance.
Virtual Server Platform. Our server solution provides scalability for your organisation, eliminating the need for capital investments in expensive, fixed servers. Instead, you purchase only what you need, but retain the flexibility to grow as quickly as your organisation requires.
Hosted EHR Solution. Our virtual EHR solution will make adoption easier by eliminating the need to purchase, deploy and maintain hardware and software onsite. Our solution can reduce up-front capital requirements and accelerate time to positive ROI.
Virtual Medical Archiving Solution. Our virtual storage solutions simplify the complexities of data management by allowing your organisation to store software, applications, records, and other information in the virtual or cloud environment.
