Your hospital data…
Stored. Protected. Shared.
Data is the lifeblood of any hospital. Studies suggest that 30% of the world’s storage is now found in healthcare.* This is largely as a result of the huge upsurge in the creation of patient and associated administrative content from a vast array of application and system sources. With the increasing prevalence of medical images from multiple clinical departments; the adoption of the Electronic Health Record (EHR); the move toward ‘paperless’ environments; and the general uptake in office productivity suites; healthcare data has exploded. In fact, industry analysts believe that a hospital’s data footprint will continue to rapidly grow, further exacerbating the problem into the foreseeable future.
Today, healthcare organizations are ever more reliant on applications and systems for the smooth running of operations and the delivery of quality patient care. But the management of this exponential data growth presents hospitals with significant challenges.
