Health 2.0

LITTLETON, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/08/10 -- As electronic medical records, picture archiving (PACS) and other health information systems become increasingly integral to the delivery of quality patient care, it's critical that hospitals and health care organizations strive to achieve near zero downtime for these systems. Downtime can put patient health at risk, drive up IT costs and result in Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA) non-compliance. Marathon Technologies will explain a simplified approach to reducing downtime for critical health information systems including seven key steps IT professionals can implement to reduce the risk of downtime and protect the availability and integrity of patient data with automated availability.

In this live webcast, Michael Bilancieri will highlight:

-- How-to reduce the leading source of downtime -- human error

-- How-to protect against hardware, storage and network failures

-- Real-world examples of two healthcare organizations that significantly reduced downtime using Marathon's everRun® automated high availability software

According to research by Healthcare Informatics, just one percent of downtime per year costs more than $1.4 million for a typical 500-bed hospital. Moreover, if patient data is lost or corrupted, regulatory mandates and data protection requirements such as HIPPA and the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) could be at risk. Marathon's everRun software is used today by hundreds of health care organizations from local community hospitals to national health networks, who cannot afford any downtime or data loss of critical, patient-facing systems. The webinar will provide an overview of everRun's benefits for healthcare providers including a review of case studies.

Michael has more than 10 years of experience in high availability and disaster recovery software engineering, presales engineering, professional services, product management and product marketing with Marathon and DoubleTake Software.
