Value-based Care: Navigating the IT Challenges and Opportunities

By focusing on outcomes rather than actions, “value-based care" promises better patient outcomes at a lower cost. On the Healthcare IT Download podcast, senior healthcare strategist, Chris Logan, of VMware, spells out the challenges that providers face in moving toward this goal and how new technologies can make it happen, reliably and securely.

Baystate Health Transforms into Modern Healthcare Center of Tomorrow with VMware NSX Network Virtualization

Baystate Health needed a new secure IT infrastructure that would ensure optimal application performance for doctors and staff, contain costs, and accommodate ever-increasing healthcare demand. With the VMware NSX(tm) network virtualization platform and a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), plus guidance from VMware Professional Services, Baystate seamlessly converged three physical data centers into a single, logical three site "active/active/active" data center. This strategy saved Baystate an estimated $3.5 million and laid a stable, yet flexible, foundation for future growth.

Interfaith Medical Center Protects Patient Information with VMware vCloud Air

"Virtualizing our servers with VMware saved us approximately $2.03 million over a seven-year period, and we achieved 100% payback on vSphere in half that time," says Christopher Frenz, Director of IT Infrastructure, Interfaith Medical Center. "Without VMware, we'd need a lot more manpower, a lot more electricity and cooling, and a much bigger data center. VMware also helps us be more agile in deploying new projects, which is quite useful in a healthcare environment. We recently upgraded to vSphere 6, which went very smoothly and gave us an even better management interface."

Best Practices: Leveraging Infrastructure Investments to Deliver Clinical Results at Mercy

This IDC Health Insights study focuses on the best practices seen in a case study on the second phase of a multiphase strategic plan to create core competency around IT infrastructure and services at Mercy Health System, the nation's seventh largest Catholic health system. Mercy's subsidiary, Mercy Technology Services (MTS), was established to build the next generation of IT to support Mercy's own operations and diversify the health system by adding a technology service offering that would allow the ministry to focus its efforts on providing compassionate, exceptional care to patients in its hospitals, outpatient locations, and other settings such as home-based care.

Mercy’s Epic EHR Cloud Hosting Services

For its efficiency, flexibility and cost-effectiveness, cloud hosting is an attractive alternative to infrastructure-heavy enterprise data centers. But for health care, strict HIPAA patient privacy regulations, coupled with today’s mounting cyber threats, pose unique challenges and are fueling the need for health care-designed cloud hosting environments.

Providing Superior User Experiences in Hosted Environments

Healthcare organizations that are hesitant to invest in major implementations due to expense or risk often look to either vendor or private hosting methods in order to limit expenditures. However, a considerable number of healthcare facilities have found support and success integrating these solutions through health systems as hosts.
