The top five benefits of cloud-based enterprise imaging
Find out how Hyland Healthcare’s cloud solution can provide better security and higher availability.
In an era of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), it might be unsustainable for each healthcare facility or enterprise to buy, operate and maintain its own IT imaging solutions.
As a result, the adoption of cloud-based medical imaging solutions will accelerate as IT managers search for more cost-effective and flexible solutions to help manage their stakeholders’ growing enterprise imaging needs.
The volume of medical images — DICOM and multimedia — continues to grow at an accelerated pace, and advances in digital imaging have led to ballooning file sizes of all types. These converging trends demand more storage capacity at a time in which most health systems find their capital funds constrained. It also takes skilled resources to manage the various data centers and facilities that comprise the organization.
With Hyland’s cloud-based enterprise imaging solution powered by AWS, healthcare organizations can address the many challenges they face with resource constraints, the needed skill sets to manage the imaging platform, ongoing security concerns, and the cost of data centers and upgrading clinical applications. Healthcare organizations will no longer have to guess how much storage they need, as they will have the scalability to expand on demand, reallocate resources to other areas, leverage expertise in cloud security, compliance and application/infrastructure management, and position themselves for growth.
Hyland manages the imaging infrastructure, and you can concentrate on delivering the best patient care.
(Hyland’s) Acuo VNA is core architecture to our enterprise VNA strategy. What we do with Acuo, it’s the central ingestion point for all of the data. It allows us to expose that data to Epic and other systems.
