-- Assess your entire server portfolio and identify critical and key points of failure that impact care. Identify the function and the process role of each server and assign a rating to the impact of a failure. -- Develop a strategy for server availability around a solid set of tools that minimize the cost impact. -- Align with a vendor that understands health care's requirements for availability. Sixty-eight percent of survey respondents felt that having a server vendor that understood the health care sector's unique needs was a critically important factor to them."Between the focus on health care at the national level and the federal funds available, there may never be a better time for healthcare organizations to convert to electronic healthcare records," said Karen Ramirez, Stratus healthcare sales executive. "They have a lot of anxiety about how to do it correctly and within their means. With the right combination of forethought, planning and product selection, healthcare IT can provide the reliability and performance that patient healthcare applications need to deliver cost savings and better quality care."
