We recently announced a new VMware reference design called VMware AlwaysOn Point of Care™ solution. This new solution is built to handle the last mile of Electronic Medical Record (EMR) delivery by providing constant availability to patient care applications. As healthcare providers continue the migration from paper to digitized records, Healthcare IT is under tremendous pressure to deliver extreme levels of availability to these applications from a variety of end point devices. This solution not only addresses the availability issue but also protects patient data with strong yet lightweight security – security that does not affect mobility.
Learn more about this solution this week in Las Vegas at HIMSS12. VMware will be showcasing our Point of Care solutions built to solve today’s real world Healthcare IT challenges. Hear a short presentation from Bill Hudson, CISA – Corporate Director, Information Technology at Kettering Health Network (KHN) Tuesday, February 22 at the VMware Booth #3862. Learn how his talented team was able to implement this solution using HP Converged Infrastructure at KHN and how they continue to innovate by recently introduced iPad tablets for doctors to access their Epic EMR for supreme mobility. Look for an announcement around this and more info in the next few weeks – KHN is rockin’ it!
Bill will also be conducting an education session at HIMSS12 on Friday, February 24 at 11:15AM -12:15AM in Casanova #503 titled “Data: Take it or Leave it”. In this session he focuses on how KHN, a multi-hospital network addresses the needs of clinicians, compliance and IT when implementing an enterprise-wide clinical data retention program. Not to be missed!
Make sure you stop by the VMware booth # Booth 3862, MP25 at the Sands Expo Hall February 20 – 24 and see all of the VMware Healthcare demos and learn how we are transforming the cost, quality and delivery of patient care.
