Paper medical records are cumbersome, bulky and awkward to use. And, in the long run, digital records are far cheaper to manage. To be useful, digitally stored records and diagnostic images must be accessible in clinically appropriate time frames while meeting strict security requirements. And be reliable.
With proper infrastructure, storage solutions become more streamlined; without it, they become redundant and elephantine. When a data storage silo crashes, data is inaccessible until it is repaired; even then, the virtual film you recover may be corrupt. This means keeping redundant physical records.
As hospitals transition from paper and film to digital archiving, they are finding that their current IT infrastructure is not up to the task. And tight budgets mandate that IT departments do more with less.
The HP lineup of solutions
The HP Medical Archiving Solution offers a self-mending grid for hospitals, hospital groups and integrated delivery networks. Scaleable on-the-fly to two petabytes (2,000 gigabytes) of stored data, this solution supports distributed backups and cross-checking for file corruption. And best if all, current and legacy hardware often can stay online until replaced.
Identity management solutions can associate an individual's unique identifiers, profile data, scanned biometric and authorization data with different contexts and the role-authority the person has in that context, making security almost failsafe.
With HP Wireless Connection Manager and your HP iPAQ Pocket PC, you can control computers and peripherals without cords and cables to hinder you as you move from hospital, to office, to home.
