NetApp (NASDAQ:NTAP), empowering its customers to change the world
with data, today celebrates JFK Medical Center, part of the
Hackensack Meridian Health Network -New Jersey’s largest and most
integrated health care organization. Teaming up with NetApp®, JFK
has been able to quickly modernize its aging infrastructure with
new NetApp technology, including all-flash systems to increase
stability and reliability and to achieve a higher level of
performance for its critical infrastructure. As a result, JFK can
now turn its focus to a strategic next-generation data center
initiative that aims to allow caregivers access to secure patient
records at any time, in any location, on any mobile device.
JFK is dedicated to providing exceptional
healthcare services to residents in the central New Jersey region.
In a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape, JFK continues to
transform to meet patient and care provider needs, leading the way
in advanced treatments and procedures. JFK Medical Center is the
home to the JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute, ranked among the
best in the nation; and the JFK Neuroscience Institute, one of New
Jersey’s most comprehensive programs for the diagnosis and
treatment of neurological disorders.
Like so many healthcare organizations, JFK found
itself spending vast amounts of time and money supporting an aging
infrastructure slowed by the burden of burgeoning patient data. To
prepare for projected growth of 2PB by 2018, JFK’s IT team fully
replaced its legacy data storage system with NetApp technology,
including NetApp all-flash systems. As a result of
modernizing its infrastructure, JFK simplified management and
lowered total cost of ownership.
Today, JFK can quickly move, manage, and protect
all records for its primary hospital, rehabilitation center,
neuroscience centers of excellence, and satellite emergency room,
as well as numerous physician practices, several long-term care
facilities, and remote radiology offices. With fast and reliable
access and insight into a patient’s complete health record,
caregivers can scan and upload additional documentation, results,
permissions for treatment, and other key treatment and medical
record information, with confidence that the record is legal, fully
redundant, and automatically backed up. With NetApp, JFK can now
meet its disaster recovery business continuity strategy with ample
off-site storage, and is poised for planned data warehousing
capabilities.
“With our new infrastructure in place, we are now able to focus
on innovative new ways of delivering exceptional healthcare
services,” said Miroslav Belote, Director of Information Technology
Infrastructure at JFK Medical Center. “For example, we are now
working on a proof of concept with NetApp SolidFire®, to transform
the way our caregivers will access patient information and deliver
services by enabling them to access their desktop from their phones
or tablets, no matter where they are, in an expedient, consistent,
and reliable fashion.”
Looking to the future, JFK plans to continue to innovate, create
new revenue streams, optimize operations, and actively seek out new
ways to improve patient outcomes. In the coming year, JFK may
migrate to the cloud with the help of NetApp, as part of its new
analytics data warehouse initiative.
