Sunninghill Hospital Gets ASP-style Disaster Recovery Solution
by Lisa Anderson-Morshead
Sunninghill Hospital X-ray department’s ASP-style project, driven and installed by Pro Med Computer Services, links Sunninghill Hospital X-ray to a disaster recovery solution, which is powered by GE Centricity Enterprise Archive and hosted by Internet Solutions. This allows Sunninghill Hospital X-ray to run a completely redundant solution on an outside server.
Corresponding to radiological advances in the digital era, it is clear that more emphasis is being placed on data security and redundancy in radiology practices countrywide. Sunninghill Hospital X-ray converted to a digital environment more than five years ago and has accumulated over 7 TB of data. Pro Med has now installed an off-site, online disaster recovery solution. The result is that Sunninghill Hospital X-ray’s patient information also resides in a safeguarded, off-site server, making the information available in the event of losing critical local data. The mirrored data is hosted at Internet Solutions where it is fully protected against any disaster. Pro Med’s integration of the Centricity Enterprise Archive provides exceptional long-term storage capabilities with a scalable, flexible platform that supports stand-alone, multi-site and off-site applications. The system automatically uploads all daily images over a dedicated line to a managed server within the DICOM standards, thereby preserving the full integrity of the system. Patient care and premier service standards have always been the highest priority for Sunninghill Hospital X-ray. The installation of the ASP-style Disaster Recovery Solution by Pro Med has only served to affirm their endeavours to have the best possible radiology solution.
