Scheduling and procedure continuity when your EHR goes offline

For healthcare organizations seeking to mitigate the rising threats from cyber and ransomware attacks, the challenges are daunting. Organizations face daily losses in the millions of dollars and total costs beyond $100M. Downtime solutions from prominent vendors still fail to protect even the most advanced IT organizations from extended downtime, causing immense risk to patients and a PR nightmare.

Existing downtime approaches have left many well-known organizations without access to both their EHR and their patient data. One HIPAA Journal survey showed only 2% of organizations were able to recover all of their data after a ransomware attack. That is a risk you cannot afford to take.
