Ensuring Performance and Availability of Your EMR Application
In the U.S., the CDC reported that the electronic medical record (EMR) adoption rate had steadily risen to 50.7% at the end of 2010. As healthcare providers transition from paper to digital records, data-intensive EMR have dramatically increased storage requirements and impacted application throughput due to I/O performance issues. With limited visibility into SAN I/O, IT managers face a significant challenge ensuring that the IT infrastructure meets its stringent performance and uptime SLAs.
In this exclusive webcast, healthcare industry experts from Virtual Instruments will discuss how IT managers in EMR environments can address these issues with the VirtualWisdom® infrastructure optimization platform - to maintain high performance and continuous availability of EMR clinical applications.
Join Chris Carlton, Virtual Instruments Application Engineer and former Storage Team Lead & Sr. SAN Engineer at a leading Texas-based Hospital network and Nick York, Principal Architect at Virtual Instruments as they discuss how to:
- Understand the link between EMR core applications and the infrastructure that supports them
- Properly size the IT infrastructure
- Create a correlated, real-time application-infrastructure view
- De-risk the infrastructure in preparation for EMR applications
When: Wed. Feb 29 2012
Time: 9:00 am PT; 12:00 pm ET
