The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) holds healthcare organizations responsible for the privacy of confidential patient information. At the same time, doctors, mobile caregivers, technicians, and others demand instantaneous access to information and applications whenever and wherever the need arises. When one adds the need for highly integrated supply chain and customer relationship management applications – all on limited budgets and resources – the challenge of managing healthcare IT becomes truly daunting.
 

Key Benefits:

  • Doctors, pharmacists, and other medical professionals can access patient records from anywhere at any time

     

  • Caregivers and clinicians can get lab results or perform real time monitoring from any device, including: employee and company owned PCs, laptops, and PDAs

     

  • Billing companies and suppliers can access only those records and applications they are required and authorized to see

     

  • Ensure HIPAA compliance with security that protects information within the data center and keeps resources secure as they travel over WAN links to remote locations

     

  • Provide an instantaneous, always-on end-user experience regardless of location, maximizing the usage of productivity enhancing applications

     

  • Consolidate data center infrastructure, simplify management, and lower TCO by reducing the required quantity of servers point product solutions

 
 

Universal Access Control for Healthcare

Array's clientless SSL VPN appliances improve patient care and speed medical administration by providing secure, anytime anywhere access to critical information including patient records, lab results, real-time cardiac monitoring and radiology. Array secure remote access solutions support any application – Web, client/server, file transfer, terminal servers, and mainframe – on PCs, kiosks, laptops, or other Internet-enabled devices, making information and resources accessible when time is of the essence.

Array remote access solutions do not require changes to existing infrastructure and eliminate the need for installation and management of burdensome IPSec clients. A single Array appliance can scale to meet the needs of the largest healthcare organization and, in so doing, greatly simplify management and dramatically reduce total cost of ownership (TCO). In addition, an intuitive, low-latency end-user experience makes the SSL VPN technology transparent – allowing caregivers to focus on what is truly important: patients.

Last but not least, because security and privacy are now legal requirements, Array access solutions support the most comprehensive suite of SSL VPN security features on the market including: robust client-side security; granular authentication, authorization, and auditing; and a security-hardened operating system with integrated firewall. Built from the ground up to enable unmatched security and mobility, Array solutions allow healthcare staff to make faster and more informed decisions while remaining fully HIPPA compliant.

 

Application Delivery for Healthcare

Web-enabled applications help integrate healthcare systems so they share information and connect employees, physicians, suppliers, and administrators to automated business processes. Regardless whether the Internet is being used for financial, supply chain, customer relationship management, or other business critical applications, the essential requirements remain the same: without the appropriate level of performance, availability, and security, applications cannot deliver on promised returns.

Array traffic management and acceleration APV series appliances enable healthcare providers to fully maximize their investment in application infrastructure – reducing supply expenses, improving employee retention/recruitments, and enabling clinicians to better focus on patient care. Moreover, as patients demand greater access to data and services via Web-based self-help programs, the need for Array's performance, availability, and security enhancing products and solutions has never been greater.

High availability features – including intelligent layer 4-7 server load balancing, global server load balancing, and N+1 clustering – keep applications running non-stop during emergency situations. Connection multiplexing, compression, caching, SSL acceleration, and SpeedStack™ packet processing accelerate application performance to increase adoption and overall usage. Integrated WebWall™ security and the hardened ArrayOS™ play a key role in HIPAA compliance, guarding against both unauthorized access and malicious attack.
