Secure, Reliable Connectivity to Power Critical Healthcare Systems
Healthcare organizations require constant connectivity to support the applications and devices needed for each aspect of patient care. Digitally tied together, they are constantly adding new technologies to the network which can increase the likelihood of a disruption.
These bandwidth-intensive applications, such as IoT devices, Electronic Medical Records (EHR) and Picture Archiving Systems (PACS), are critical to healthcare organizations, but place a strain on the network.
Opengear ensures the secure, always-on availability needed to meet strict regulatory requirements, decrease costs and improve patient experiences.
To learn more about ensuring maximum uptime for your organization,Healthcare systems consist of multiple facilities such as hospitals, labs and urgent care centers. Each having multi-point connectivity requirements, creating a need for higher capacity WAN. If one of these points loses connectivity, without the proper solution in place, the entire network could go down, costing an average of $8,600 per hour in revenue.
Outages can be causes by a variety if reasons:
If a disruption occurs, engineers are at a disadvantage without the proper network visibility. Opengear solutions ensure network resilience, enterprise-grade security, and always-on connectivity during a disruption.

The healthcare industry has unique compliance and security challenges because of the large amounts of sensitive patient data that is collected. These organizations must meet the wide variety of Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards.
The HIPAA security rule requires each healthcare organization to create a contingency plan to ensure that during a disruption, critical business processes are uninterrupted and ensure that electronically protected health information (ePHI) is safeguarded.
Opengear solutions are the foundation of a contingency plan. Lighthouse Enterprise provides full network visibility while Smart Out-of-Band enables engineers to monitor, manage and remediate IT issues at any remote site. Paired with Failover to Cellular which provides always on availability with 4G LTE, they are able to continue normal business operations while the issue is remediated.
