How Customers Adapt to Healthcare Demands with
NetAppAt HIMSS17, NetApp will showcase how its customers
adapt to healthcare challenges with confidence, leveraging data
management solutions to simplify healthcare IT and reduce total
cost of ownership.
Tucson Medical: Providing Always-On Access for Digital
HospitalsFaced with rapidly growing data volumes from its
core Epic software and from retention of data for HIPAA guidelines,
Tucson Medical Center (TMC) partnered with NetApp on a solution.
Clinicians require constant access to life-saving data, so TMC has
no tolerance for outages.
“With NetApp, we have not had downtime, which gets overlooked
because it’s unheard of. But it’s a phenomenal statistic,” says
Drew Burnett, systems and network manager of TMC. “It makes my job
easier; it keeps my hair from going as gray.”
NetApp technology has been an instrumental tool in virtualizing
98% of TMC’s more than 700 applications. It also allows the
healthcare organization to support its 1,300 users concurrently, a
competitive advantage that improves the patient experience and
quality of outcomes.
Engage: Securely Backing Up Records to the
CloudSophisticated healthcare applications, data-intensive
technologies such as MRIs, new Internet of Things (IoT) sensors,
and personal devices are generating patient data faster than ever.
Healthcare providers feel challenged to meet requirements while
containing costs and improving patient care.
Engage, the technology division of nonprofit Inland Northwest
Health Services (INHS), helps medical centers leverage IT to
enhance both operational efficiencies and quality of care. When the
cost and time of maintaining its tape-based backup service began to
soar, Engage worked with NetApp to provide off-site replication.
That technology laid the groundwork for a new backup-to-cloud
service.
“NetApp technology is helping us help our customers direct more
time and money into patient care,” says Frank Tollefson, assistant
director of network services, INHS/Engage. “And that is what our
business is all about.”
