Disaster Recovery/Operational Continuance

The more your clinicians depend on technology, the more important it is to assure it's available to them. And it's equally important they know how to deliver care if that technology becomes unavailable due to disaster. It is critical to deal ahead of time with issues like fault tolerance (to eliminate any single point of failure), data retention and recovery, and downtime clinical/business procedures. The MEDITECH Solutions Group within Perot Systems can't guarantee against disasters, but we'll help you develop a business continuance strategy to minimize their impact and keep you functioning as efficiently as possible.

Overview
Healthcare organizations today can provide a level of care never dreamed of before, thanks to the emerging technologies that continue to redefine the industry. With that empowerment, however, also comes a considerable risk if your IT system were to suddenly become unavailable. Hospital leaders are well aware of the need for a formal strategy for operational continuance and disaster recovery in the rare event of a system failure. But it's not easy. The world has changed and hospitals must be prepared to carry on under even the most unimaginable circumstances.

The MEDITECH Solutions Group has worked extensively with MEDITECH to address these concerns, leading to our co-development of technology solutions that ease the consequences of system failure. Our suite of Healthcare Operational Continuance solutions provides comprehensive technology options, consulting, and - with the introduction of JSite - managed disaster recovery services to meet the needs of our MEDITECH clients.

Our breadth of offerings and experience provides healthcare organizations with disaster recovery solutions that are tailored to each hospital's unique demands, including the options to self-host the system or outsource it to a trusted MEDITECH provider. And, as an end-to-end service provider, we complement technology and managed service solutions with the consulting expertise necessary to develop operational continuance plans that can keep your organization up and running, even if your IT system isn't. Should a crisis actually occur, the MEDITECH Solutions Group can deploy our intermediary Disaster Recovery Support Services team to assist your staff and effectively address IT recovery.
