BridgeHead Software and Dell Offer Storage and Data Management For Hospitals
September 2010 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
BridgeHead Software and Dell are offering hospitals a new way to store their medical and administrative data. The Medical Archive solution combines the strength of Dell’s hardware offerings with the pedigree of BridgeHead’s healthcare data management software to create a holistic and fully interoperable enterprise solution for hospitals looking to take control of their digital patient and administrative information.
The joint solution addresses one of the major data management challenges currently facing hospitals all over the world, namely the upsurge in healthcare data resulting primarily from the increasing volume of medical images (created across a range of modalities, from digital radiology to mammography, to name a few) as well as the adoption of the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) and the move to a paperless environment (including the retroactive scanning of historical patient information).
The Medical Archive integrates the data from disparate clinical and administrative systems into a central, scalable repository that wholly understands healthcare data types and standards. Not only does this make interoperability easier across hospital applications, but it radically simplifies the protection and security of digital information. Furthermore, hospitals can dramatically reduce the data management burden in terms of both resource and cost.
The underlying technology for the joint solution consists of BH MediStore and BH OfficeStore from BridgeHead and the DX6000 Object Storage Platform from Dell.
This joint storage and data management solution is available for purchase immediately.
