Galway Clinic empowers patients with EHR

Editorial Type: News     Date: 11-2015    Views: 1682      






Galway Clinic is undergoing an ambitious project to become the first hospital in Ireland to enable patients access to their Electronic Health Record (EHR) by November 2016

To achieve this, the clinic has installed MEDITECH's latest EHR platform, MEDITECH 6.1, and is using BridgeHead Software's RAPid Data Protection suite to ensure that the MEDITECH system, as well as the rest of the hospital's data, is fully protected and recoverable in the event of a system outage, data corruption, loss, or major disaster.

"At Galway we pride ourselves in leading the way with healthcare technology," said Raphael Jaffrezic, CIO at Galway Clinic. "It's important to us that we empower our patients to take control of their own care and to become an active player in their own treatment."

As part of the project, Galway needed to ensure they employed a fully comprehensive data and system protection environment to safeguard the MEDITECH application as well as other data from across the healthcare enterprise. Galway selected BridgeHead Software's RAPid Data Protection, with the additional MEDITECH components, to create reliable, recent copies of all patient information that can be easily brought back into live production quickly and predictably, should it be required.

"BridgeHead was the natural choice for us when it came to backing up our entire data estate. They have a high level of integration expertise when it comes to the MEDITECH platform and they also provide us with great support to give us peace of mind that data from across the entire organisation, including all patient information, is always safe and instantly accessible should an outage ever occur," concludes Mr Jaffrezic.
