focus on Patients

“With the right technology solution you'll have more time for the things that matter most."

Despite all the high level enthusiasm for digital medical records the reality is you’re not in a position to hire an IT team to integrate your office. Let’s face it your time and resources are already stretched and although long term, digital medical records will make your practice more efficient there are startup costs and training that are beyond the scope of most practitioners.

Up until recently there have been two primary ways to provide digital medical records, the most common being a “hosted software” from the vendor, software as a service or secondly the purchased software model. Using the software as service model your practice is tied directly to one vendor for both hosting and software delivery on a web page. Changing vendors can be just as difficulty as starting all over again. In the latter, owning the software license and hosting it on your own internal server gives you total control over the data, but also the responsibility to keep your server running and updated. There is however an emerging route to going digital that gives you the practitioner the best of both worlds.

Hosted Desktop Applications

Hosted desktop applications are a new hybrid way of having the best of both worlds; software delivered to your practice as a hosted service and the benefits of owning or leasing the software license. With the hosted desktop application model you own all of the data and can access the data at anytime and since the host provider does not own the license you are free to use any host that can manage your application. It’s like having your own private server without the hassles of maintaining the server in your practice, for all maintenance is provided by Iasun.

No Capital Expense

As a practitioner you realize that resources could be used for other more pressing matters that have a direct bearing on your patients. A hosted desktop is a leased service, with no high upfront costs to acquire, install, and test computer related hardware and equipment. Unlike other solutions a hosted desktop application allows you to use older PC’s and devices that you would normally have to upgrade. Your practice can run on inexpensive “thin clients” or diskless computers that do not require a technical person to operate, with simple plug and play setup and no maintenance.

• Mobile – Work from any location that has an Internet connection, connect your office system with the data center using a cell phone during emergencies.(Dedicated connection, Wi-Fi, wireless, cellular, satellite)
• Support – A technical staff that keeps your application running 24/7/365.
• Simple – Plug and Play simplicity, select from a library of pre-configured software that can be added to your hosted desktop.
• Powerful – Use only what you need, knowing that the hosted desktop can expand to meet your growing needs in the future.
• Private– No other application or environment allows you the same security. With dynamic and unrelated IP address configuration for each instance and clean sweep browser protection.
• Flexible– Add or remove programs and users as your needs change over time. Deactivating a program for future use without the need to find the install disks at a later date.
• Storage Capacity– As the volume of digitally stored charts increases the hosted environment is elastic and can grow as required to meet your demands without buying additional hardware.
• Automatic Backup and Recovery– All of your digital charts are stored on a master RAID 5 hard drive with daily backups stored on tape drives and weekly backups on offline media for total disater recovery.
• Disaster Recovery– All offline media storage for disaster recovery is stored independent of the data center in a vault for total protection should the data center be targeted.
