Security Data Management is a top concern of global Hospitals. \u00a0In a survey taken by UK-based Bridgehead Software<\/a>, hospitals selected their top three priorities as follows:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. 44 percent – Disaster Recovery<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. 38 percent – Picture Archiving and Communication Systems<\/strong> (PACS)<\/li>\n
  3. 35 percent – Digitizing Paper Records<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    84 percent of the hospitals said more than 50 percent of the data they need to store is more than six months old, but only 26 percent said that they have data archiving capabilities that is capable of moving data to the appropriate storage tiers.<\/p>\n

    Two-thirds of the hospitals are expecting their data volumes to increase. \u00a065 percent said that images make up the largest part of their volumes while 45 percent thought that patient health records made up the biggest portion.<\/p>\n

    Right now, new technologies like cloud computing and green computing are off the radar at most hospitals. \u00a0Only 15 percent identified cloud computing as important to them right now, and only 12 percent mentioned green computing. \u00a0Most hospitals now are focusing strongly on moving away from paper to electronic data, and anything else is a distraction.<\/p>\n

    Tony Cotterill, CEO of BridgeHead Software said that “roughly 20 to 30 per cent of all the world’s storage resides in healthcare. Yet hospitals often find themselves accepting storage and disaster recovery solutions from other industry sectors that do not necessarily understand and accommodate the healthcare industry’s uniquely complex data environment. As hospitals continue transitioning towards fully electronic patient records, they would be wise to investigate storage, data management and disaster recovery solutions tailored specifically to meet their own organisational needs.”<\/p>\n
