Healthcare DPS is Going Green
Green Initiatives Improved Sustainability at Healthcare DPS
Garden City NY - May 22, 2009: Healthcare DPS, a provider of comprehensive Health IT solutions, announced a switch to e-signature and e-fax technology while reducing its energy dependence by running its primary datacenter with its lights out as part of its initiative to go “Green”. “The initiative was designed to lower the environmental impact of operating Healthcare DPS while increasing efficiency and reducing costs,” said Jason Nocco, Vice President and General Manager.
Healthcare DPS specializes in the development and management of customized, powerful, premium solutions for all healthcare providers’ technology requirements that empower providers to improve profitability and to increase their clients’ quality of care. The broad solution portfolio includes: Electronic Health Record (EHR) and Practice Management, Paper Scanning, E-mail Archiving and E-Discovery, Medical Image Archiving, Data Backup and Storage, Network Monitoring, Internet Service, Telecommunications, and HIPAA Compliance Documentation.
As part of a pilot project to conserve energy and reduce costs at Healthcare DPS, the company started running its non-collocated, New York datacenter with its lights switched off during both operating and non operating hours. The result was a 26% savings in energy costs at that facility during its first “Green” month. “The lights don’t need to be on,” Nocco continued, “our servers, environmental systems, UPS, and network are all monitored 24*7*365. As a result, we would be immediately alerted to any abnormal issues.”
Healthcare DPS has also implemented electronic fax technology and is also taking advantage of modern electronic signature technology. “From an efficiency standpoint, e-signature allows contracts between our partners and clients to be executed within minutes. From an environmental aspect, we eliminate the need for paper used in printing, duplicating, and faxing both original and unsigned documents, eliminate the need for paper used in file folders, courier envelopes, and banker/filing boxes as well as reduce the fuel used by couriers and shippers,” said Nocco.
The environmental savings will be profound. For example, one 30 page printed document sent to 5 recipients could expend enough energy to keep a light burning for 37 days straight! Healthcare DPS is proud to benefit the environment by moving towards more sustainable and eco-friendly business practices.
