Healthcare DPS Announces Medical Image Archiving Solution
Medical Image Archiving overcomes storage and regulation challenges faced by the medical community.
Garden City, NY – April 17, 2009: Healthcare DPS, a provider of comprehensive Health IT solutions, introduces the addition of Medical Image Archiving as a solution to overcome the storage and regulation challenges faced by the medical community. A centralized medical image archiving solution allows providers to achieve long-term accessibility and security for all their medical data, reduce recovery time during disaster situations, and reduce long-term costs.
Typically, electronic archiving of medical images requires dozens of terabytes (TBs) of digital storage and rapid access to all the images. As the amount of medical information continues to grow exponentially, retrieving information quickly and reliably becomes a challenge, especially during a medical emergency, where speed and accuracy are critical. Increased regulatory requirements, such as HIPAA, are mandating the retention of medical images as well as specifying rules regarding the security and privacy of this information. Maintaining archive capacities sufficient for increasing medical storage needs that comply with all the regulations becomes a budget challenge as well as a burden for practitioners.
Using Healthcare DPS to store, protect, and manage growing volumes of medical images provides several advantages. The Medical Image Archiving solution efficiently consolidates medical images, improves storage, and quickly restores necessary medical information while reducing compliance risk.
To reduce costs, medical data is assigned to the most cost-effective storage tier based on specified criteria, such as recovery time requirements. To improve recovery, all data is self-contained which enables the system to quickly respond to a restore request. Additionally, the archiving solution supports HIPAA and regulatory requirements for disaster recovery planning and the storage, transmission, and protection of patient data. For example, the archiving solution produces a “destruction certificate” confirming that backed-up data was destroyed as required under the HIPAA security rule.
