Alpha Systems Disaster Recovery Solutions provide an easy and cost effective
EMR backup service for hospitals who need to meet regulatory, business continuity
and risk management requirements. Regardless of your clinical system, we capture
all of the necessary documents, (whether they are in electronic or paper form)
and load them into a clean and organized solution which is stored off site and
is available through our secure ASP connection.
Whether it's for disaster recovery or scheduled CIS down time, Alpha Systems
works with hospitals one-on-one to determine the specific legal and retention
requirements of the documents they want to protect.
Hospitals need to ensure they can produce a legal medical record quickly and efficiently, even if their imaging or clinical system is down. If they do not have a clean and organized back up, they are at risk, especially if the record is required for patient care, billing or litigation.
The natural disasters which have occurred in the Gulf Coast and Northeast have
exemplified the need for better back up mechanisms. The Department of Health
and Human Services (HHS) has made this a priority and will be aggressively seeking
solutions that will allow patients to access their own information in the
event of a disaster. HIPAA Regulations and Joint Commission requirements also
highlight the need for a well formulated disaster recovery plan.
