Business Continuity/Downtime Support

Hospital Downtime Support for IT Continuity

Patient data must be highly available at all times to ensure patient safety and quality of care. But the reality is that healthcare organizations experience both planned and unplanned HIS downtime. You need a thoughtful, cost-effective solution to support continuity with clinician access to vital patient information – even when core HIS applications are unavailable. 

The cost-effective answer for downtime support

Our integration platform includes a data repository that is logically and physically independent of the systems feeding it data. So your clinical information is replicated without sharing the software and hardware vulnerabilities of your existing systems. The result is downtime protection—at a much lower cost than a fully redundant HIS.

From a web portal or mobile device, your care teams can continue working when your core systems are not. Access to medication administration and other critical clinical data is available. So physicians and other care givers throughout your organization have access to clinical information as current as the point of downtime – anytime and anywhere.

Retire legacy systems with historical data loading

For systems that are supported only for the historical data they contain, save maintenance costs by loading historical data into the PatientKeeper repository.  Information will remain available, and older systems can be discontinued. 

Why PatientKeeper?

  • Uninterrupted availability of clinical information – right up to the downtime event – for all clinicians and nursing staff.
  • Smart, efficient and cost effective redundancy
  • No need for expensive application replication or complicated data mirroring and synchronization
  • Automatic access to historical patient information with historical data loading

With access to clinical results and other information during downtime events, PatientKeeper keeps your clinicians up and running. And access to historical data gives you the cost advantage of retiring older legacy information systems for significant savings. The result is a full longitudinal patient record without interruption.
