Healthcare organizations seeking high-end availability for their clinical applications have a new choice with Orion Health and Stratus Technologies, which offer continuously available access to patient data via the Orion Health portal running on Stratus servers.
Stratus Technologies combines proven industry applications with Medical Grade fault-tolerant Stratus® ftServer® systems, layered software, and solution services to deliver field-proven continuous availability solutions. Stratus servers ensure that critical applications like Concerto Physician Portal, http://www. orionhealth. com/concerto/ (http://www. orionhealth. com/concerto/) which holds critical patient data, are always accessible.
Medical Grade ftServer systems offer the healthcare industry 99.999 percent uptime reliability, which in the medical field is critical as record keeping and patient care functions move to electronic formats. The availability of data becomes a critical concern.
"Physicians and healthcare organizations have a unique concern when it comes to accessing electronic data - if critical patient data cannot be accessed when needed, it can lead to devastating consequences including increased patient risk, financial loss, and damage to physician and hospital reputations," said John Lightfoot, Chief Technology Officer, Orion Health North America.
"Orion Health is pleased to find a great technological fit for its Concerto Physician Portal - one that works without additional configuration during deployment and offers customers a simple, easy-to-use solution that is proven to protect against data loss."
"The medical grade ftServer platform has a growing presence on the front lines of healthcare information systems as medical practices computerize their patient care systems," said Alan Gilbert, healthcare practice leader for Stratus Technologies. "Orion Health customers must have the highest levels of data and systems availability possible, and Stratus ftServer systems ensure this."
Stratus Technologies offers three models of continuously available servers: the entry-level ftServer 2510 System; the mid-range ftServer 4410 System, a dedicated business processing application server that is also ideal for space-constrained data centers; and the high-end ftServer 6210 System for transaction-intensive enterprise-class applications. All ftServer systems employ quad-core Intel processor technology, are easy to deploy and manage, and deliver the highest levels of uptime reliability in the industry today
The Orion Health Concerto Physician Portal provides a universal, easy-to-use solution that delivers accurate patient information and results where and when clinical staff needs it to increase diagnostic accuracy, improve patient safety and reduce costs. Data integrated and viewed can include up-to-date lab results, treatment and medications orders, and clinical notes, all enabling physicians to deliver the highest quality of care possible, responding quickly and efficiently. This can eliminate unnecessary tests and procedures, reducing costs and streamlining patient care from admission through to follow up.
