Dell eHealthcare Architecture

The U.S. Healthcare system has top-notch doctors and hospitals, excellent medical technology and cutting-edge research facilities. And yet, the actual delivery of patient care is often inefficient and outdated. Today's caregivers are often forced to make diagnoses and treatment decisions without adequate patient information or knowledge of the most up-to-date clinical protocols. In fact, while there are pockets of advanced technologies, the industry as a whole remains paper-based, isolated and disconnected.

 

At Dell, we're committed to helping you deliver the best care possible. By connecting your organization to the latest technology and cost-saving strategies, we can help to improve efficiencies and the quality of care across your entire healthcare operation.

 

Here at Dell, we understand that transforming your hospital system to a 21st century hospital is no easy task. Fortunately, we can help. From assessments to hardware, software to services, Dell has the technology solutions you need for your healthcare organization.

Today's healthcare organizations are awash in high-quality data. Every day, hundreds of thousands of patients interact with doctors, nurses, hospitals, health clinics and pharmacies. Imagine if access to this critical data was always at the caregivers' fingertips. With Dell eHealthcare Architecture, it can be. From admissions to ER to radiology, Dell technologies can enable care providers to have access to critical patient information when and where they need it most.

 

30% — Average percent of visits during which patient charts cannot be found^*.By improving access to critical health data via better technology, physicians and care providers can spend more time actually caring for patients.

 

 

With consistent and timely access to patient data, physicians can make better decisions that could help increase patient safety and, ultimately, save lives. Systems such as electronic medical records (EMR) systems and picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) can help in this quest to provide anytime, anywhere access to information. These advanced technologies can help:

Ultimately, these solutions can help care providers achieve fast and accurate diagnoses and treatments to deliver a high quality of care and help enhance patient outcomes.

 

 

The vast majority of data generated by the healthcare community — information that could lead to a better understanding of treatment options, adverse drug effects and outcomes — is often lost within disparate systems. Plus, many hospitals still have important records stored in paper files, which can compromise security and prevent easy access.Dell can help store and manage your critical data, everything from patient health records to billing information.

 

1/3 — Amount of the $1.8 trillion annual U.S. healthcare budget spent on duplicative or inappropriate procedures.^*By increasing access to critical health records via a reliable information infrastructure, preventable errors can be reduced.

 

 

By ensuring the availability of critical information, healthcare providers can potentially reduce the number of preventable errors, and thus, improve patient safety. A study shows that nearly 195,000 people died as a result of potentially avoidable medical errors in 2002.^*This is one of the many reasons why Dell wants to help bring 21st century information management into the healthcare community.

 

Dell eHealthcare Architecture can help you strengthen your IT infrastructure and simplify operations across your organization. With our high-performance server and storage solutions, you can efficiently store, manage and secure critical patient health records and administrative data. And since our solutions are reliable, scalable and highly available, you can meet your data needs for today — and tomorrow — without cutting into your bottom line. Our portfolio features:

Creating a secure information network helps you to effectively manage critical patient data, ensuring its availability at the point of care.^*

 

By using open standards for healthcare records and systems, the industry can get on the way to national interoperability. The ultimate goal: To ensure the availability of critical patient data at the point of care*. This aligns perfectly with the federal government's vision of a National Health Information Infrastructure (NHII).

 

 

The business of healthcare is in critical condition. Hospitals nationwide are losing money, and for this reason, are reluctant to make technology investments — even if they could pay off in the long term. At the same time, there's the added pressure of rising healthcare costs and an aging population. By helping you deploy affordable, reliable technology, Dell can help lower your IT costs and improve your overall operational efficiency.

 

4.04% — The average operating margin for the nation's hospitals, a 20% decline since 2003.^* By adopting IT best practices and standardizing technology across your operation, you can lower spending and focus on the delivery of care.
