Medsphere, an open-source platform, which is strengthened with healthcare security measures, now offers community hospitals a unique cost-effective option for easily and effectively managing their medical data.
Medsphere Systems has announced that it is transferring its CareVue EHR software to cloud infracture offered by Amazon Web Services. The announcement was made at HIMSS18 on Wednesday in Las Vegas.
CareVue EHR is an open-source software that is subscription-based and its OpenVista technology has been derived from the VA’s original VistA system. It is now offering rural and small community hospitals a unique platform-as-a-service opportunity to effectively manage their medical data. This would be reinforced with extra cybersecurity measures along with AWS’ own dependable security protections.
In a statement Medsphere CEO Irv Lichtenwald said, “Our goal has been to balance out the tension between security and system access, and we’re confident that CareVue Cloud creates peace of mind without putting unnecessary burden on clinicians.”
It goes without saying that numerous hospitals and healthcare systems have always kept deep skepticism related to the security vulnerabilities presented by the cloud-based Health IT systems. Interestingly, in recent years more and more technology decision-makers were increasingly convinced about the strong data protection of the cloud offers and its ability to enable speed and cost-effectiveness.
AWS Global Business Development Healthcare, Life Sciences and Agriculture Technology Director Mark Johnston agreed that there has been a unique tipping point of some sort that has effectively changed the minds of a lot of people concerning the cloud.
“We have a really significant portfolio of security services now that people can basically take as Lego bricks and just put together. It helps organizations build more robust, scalable, secure, compliant solutions, with a fraction of the effort they would if they were to host it in their own data centers,” said Mark Johnston.
