Business Continuity — Provide a Life Support Strategy for Your Critical Systems

Systems such as electronic medical records, enterprise scheduling, Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE), and corporate email form the "central nervous system" for healthcare organizations like yours. Patient safety can suffer if any of these critical systems are unavailable or unresponsive.

In addition to confidentiality and integrity, HIPAA requirements also mandate that these systems be highly available. Your healthcare IT team must install disaster recovery (DR) contingencies that are reasonable and appropriate to ensure that these mission-critical systems are available and reasonably safe from the prospect of disaster.

The Business Continuity Practice at Logicalis helps you develop a life support strategy for your critical systems so you can be confident that the patients are safe, your users are supported and the regulators are satisfied.

Logicalis takes a service-oriented approach—as opposed to a hardware, software, and systems approach—to business continuity. Because our approach is vendor independent, Logicalis allows its clients’ environments to determine the technology required, rather than force fitting a specific set of tools.
