ClearDATA Co-Founder and Chief Privacy Officer Chris Bowen to Speak at 21st Annual WEDI National Conference

Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) April 30, 2012

ClearDATA Networks, Inc., the leading healthcare cloud computing platform and service provider, today announced that its co-founder and Chief Privacy Officer Chris Bowen will be a featured speaker on the topic of PHI and Cloud Computing at the 21st Annual WEDI National Conference being held May 1-3, 2012 in Tampa, Florida. Healthcare leaders from across the nation attend the WEDI (Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange) Conference to learn about and address issues of primary concern to the healthcare industry.

Securing data and patient information is a top priority in our industry and many are concerned of potential security risks associated with moving PHI to the cloud, said Chris Bowen, Chief Privacy Officer for ClearDATA Networks, Inc. While safeguarding PHI in the cloud does introduce new security issues, it can also reduce or eliminate many security threats. Done properly, PHI in the cloud can effectively be more secure, and definitely more cost effective, than storing PHI onsite for a healthcare provider.

WEDI Conference Session Title: PHI and Cloud Computing

Wednesday, May 2, 2012 from 3:25 PM 4:55 PM

Grand Hyatt Hotel Tampa Bay, White Ibis Room

Abstract: Cloud Computing has become a popular choice to move/store data while leveraging speed and cost effectiveness. However, covered entities, business associates and all others responsible to keep sensitive date (including PHI) protected and secure have a lot to consider when moving into the cloud environment. Vendors are offering cloud technology; the federal government is mandating its business to move towards the cloud and NIST has been releasing Special Publications regarding cloud computing and security.

ClearDATA EMR Cloud Hosting Service Saves Advanced Arthritis Care Practice Over $30k in Server & Support Costs

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) May 09, 2012

ClearDATA Networks, Inc., the leading healthcare cloud computing platform and service provider, today announced that Advanced Arthritis Care and Research (AACR), a Medical Group Practice located in Scottsdale, AZ is hosting its EMR software on the ClearDATA Private Cloud at the companys datacenter. AACR needed to upgrade its EMR software to be compatible with a new billing system, but the upgrade would have taken 2.5 months and required a new server for more than $ 30,000, plus monthly support and maintenance fees. After researching its options, AACR decided to have both its EMR and billing software hosted at the ClearDATA data center, which took less than one week for the entire implementation to be up and running efficiently.

Private cloud hosting of EMR software is one of the fastest growing trends in healthcare due to the significant costs associated with increased server and storage requirements, along with monthly maintenance and support fees. ClearDATA is targeting its secure, HIPAAcompliant EMR Cloud Hosting Service to small-to-large healthcare practices across the country and has performed successful implementations with software from most of the major EMR vendors.

EMR Cloud Hosting is an area of tremendous growth for ClearDATA, said David Bean, executive vice president of sales and marketing, ClearDATA Networks, Inc. Healthcare providers are increasingly moving their EMR and EHR software to the cloud because of the significant savings in hardware expenses and support, eliminating the need for multiple servers and substantial storage. And due to increased market demand, EMR software companies are partnering with us to cloud enable their software as well as hosting their EMR solutions on our ClearDATA Cloud Computing Platform.

After multiple phone calls with ClearDATA over the course of several days and even visiting their data center, I felt very confident in going with a cloud hosted solution, said Liza Altman, administrator and office manager for Advanced Arthritis Care and Research. I actually feel more secure with their hosted solution than having the data in our office. Also, we were pleasantly surprised that our performance running GE Centricity is much faster now through the cloud than it was on our local server, and the system has never been down.

About ClearDATAs HIPAA Compliant EMR Cloud Hosting Service

In response to growing market demand, ClearDATA has developed a secure, HIPAA-compliant, and cost effective solution for EMR software delivery that features a pre-configured combination of ClearDATAs private Cloud services, HPs state-of-the art server and storage solutions, and EMR/PM software images to form a single solution delivered as a service.
