The American Hospital Association Extends Its Exclusive Endorsement of Data Center Hosting Services from CareTech Solutions
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 10, 2013 -- The American Hospital Association (AHA) today announced it has extended its exclusive endorsement of Data Center Hosting Services from CareTech Solutions. Following the AHA Signature Due Diligence Process™, AHA Solutions, Inc., a subsidiary of the AHA, awards the AHA Endorsement to products and services that help member hospitals and health care organizations achieve operational excellence.
More and more, hospitals and health care organizations opt for an off-site data center, not only to upgrade the processing facilities that run critical systems but to make better use of capital that would otherwise be required to invest in the hospital’s data center.
“Hospitals and other medical facilities need a robust and scalable data center infrastructure to handle the influx of health IT implementations,” said Anthony Burke, president and CEO, AHA Solutions, Inc. “CareTech Solutions’ data center hosting has demonstrated its continued relevance and value to the health care field by helping hospitals leverage needed power, cooling and space and the expertise it takes to manage critical clinical systems.”
CareTech understands the critical nature of the hospital’s clinical systems and business objectives with its solid understanding of today’s operational challenges of health care facilities. CareTech Solutions SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 compliant data center in a LEED gold certified green facility is specifically designed to meet health care’s information management needs. CareTech services are designed and managed to provide high-availability and secured services for health care clients 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
“Data centers are the vital backbone to any clinical IT operation, and any hospital that is investing in electronic health record (EHR) applications must also plan for the proper IT infrastructure to be sure patient data is safely housed in a highly available, secure environment,” said Jim Giordano, president and CEO of CareTech Solutions. “Through AHA Solutions’ rigorous selection process, CareTech, with its SSAE 16 SOC 1 Type 2 compliant data center and LEED gold certified green facility, was ultimately chosen as a leading data center hosting solution for health care.”
