Dell and Perot Systems today announced a strategic alliance where their combined delivery teams will provide fully-integrated global IT solutions that unite their best-in-class technology and services solutions to provide virtualized desktop, storage and server solutions for hospitals, health systems and physician practices – virtualized on premises or hosted either off-site or in secure, private clouds. Dell, a leading technology provider to commercial enterprises around the world, and Perot Systems, the leading healthcare technology solutions provider in the U.S., are jointly introducing their first series of innovative solutions that bring desktop mobility and virtual storage and server scalability to the Healthcare Industry at the HIMSS Annual Event in Chicago, Ill. These solutions are designed to help improve patient care and to help healthcare organizations achieve the standard of “meaningful use” for EHRs established in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).
• New Solutions will Promote Electronic Health Records (EHR) Implementation
The News:
Mobile Clinical Computing
• Puts virtual technology in the hands of healthcare professionals at the point of care for improved clinical decision-making and efficiency
• Improves healthcare delivery with EHR implementation and usability
• Improves staff productivity by eliminating repeated, time consuming log-ins and improving application response time for remote users
• Can reduce up-front capital expense and improve TCO
Virtual Server Platform
• Simplifies the provisioning and scaling of health information systems, including servers and storage, by using standardized and virtualized public and private virtual computing environments
• Features structured technology assessment and consulting to optimize applications that will benefit most from virtualization
• Addresses technology obsolescence issues by enabling dynamic compute workloads
• Can reduce up-front capital expense and improve TCO
• Makes compute power a variable expense by aligning technology to business needs
Virtual EHR Solutions
• Dell and Perot Systems will create hosted and secure private cloud-based EHR alternatives to dedicated, on-premise EHR solutions
• Makes EHR adoption easier by eliminating the need to purchase, deploy and maintain hardware and software onsite
• Reduces up-front capital requirements and accelerates time to positive ROI
• Reduces burden of systems management for IT staff
• Simplifies the challenge of achieving “meaningful use” as defined in the ARRA
Virtual Medical Archiving Solution
• Simplifies data management by storing patient records, images and other information in a virtual or secure private cloud environment
• Reduces capital outlay and total cost of ownership with world-class advisory and consulting services
• Addresses myriad of healthcare archiving needs and budgets
• Scales as archiving requirements change
• Aligns cost and data availability to the regulatory requirements of various types of data produced in healthcare
What this means for customers:
• Healthcare today is more sophisticated, with more cost pressures and operational complexity than ever before. Healthcare providers need secure access to reliable, real-time and easy-to-use information technology that enables them to obtain and manage treatment information, patient histories and other clinical resources to improve productivity and patient care while reducing costs.
• These new Dell and Perot Systems virtualized solutions will address these needs while simplifying and reducing the cost of EHR adoption so that healthcare providers can more easily achieve “meaningful use” for EHR Medicare and Medicaid incentive payments under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
