In today’s healthcare landscape, uninterrupted access to patient data is paramount. Disruptions, whether natural disasters, cyberattacks, or even power outages, can significantly impact your imaging organisation’s ability to deliver optimal patient care. Downtime can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment, frustrated patients, and even financial losses.

At AdvaHealth Solutions, we understand the critical nature of operational continuity. That’s why we’re proud to introduce our Business Continuity Plan (BCP), specifically designed for imaging organisations. Our BCP goes beyond hypothetical scenarios, offering a comprehensive solution to ensure continued operations and patient data security during challenging situations.

Disruptions aren’t just a possibility; they’re a reality. Consider these alarming statistics:

• 539 reported attacks on healthcare organisations between 2016 and October 2023, highlighting the prevalence of cyber threats.*
• Over 52 million patient records compromised, demonstrating the high stakes of data breaches.*
• Nearly 19 days of average downtime in 2023 alone, showcasing the significant financial and operational impact of disruptions.*

These statistics paint a clear picture: disruptions are a serious threat to healthcare organisations. Here are some reasons why a BCP is essential for your imaging organisation:

• Minimise Downtime: Our BCP offers strategies to minimise the impact of disruptions, allowing you to maintain operations and access to critical patient information.
• Protect Patient Care: By ensuring continued access to patient data, you can avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment, ultimately safeguarding patient well-being.
• Financial Security: Downtime can have a significant financial impact. A BCP helps you mitigate these risks and maintain a healthy bottom line.
• Reputation Management: Service outages can damage your organisation’s reputation. A BCP demonstrates your commitment to preparedness and patient care.

Our BCP is designed with your imaging organisation’s unique needs in mind, offering several advantages that simplify implementation and ongoing management:

• Scalable SaaS Solution: Our BCP is delivered as a cloud-native Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, making it scalable to fit the size and needs of your organisation. This eliminates the need for upfront software purchases or complex IT infrastructure management, freeing up your resources to focus on patient care. In other words, you don’t need to acquire any additional hardware to implement our BCP solution.
• Fully Supported by AdvaHealth Solutions: We provide comprehensive ongoing support to ensure your BCP remains effective and adapts to evolving threats. Our team of experts is there to guide you every step of the way.
• No Capital Investment Required: Our BCP solution eliminates the need for significant upfront capital investments, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of a robust BCP without straining your budget.
• Tri-synchronisation: Our BCP leverages a tri-synchronisation approach within the cloud-native environment to ensure data consistency and availability across geographically dispersed locations. This advanced data replication technique minimises data loss risks and facilitates a faster recovery process in the event of disruptions.
• Pay-As-You-Go Model: We offer flexible pricing options, including a pay-as-you-go model, making our BCP solution accessible to imaging organisations of all sizes.
• Disaster Recovery with Data Isolation: Our BCP incorporates a disaster recovery solution that is completely separate to your existing infrastructure. This adds an additional layer of security to your patient data, ensuring it remains protected even in the event of a catastrophic event affecting your primary systems
• Peace of Mind: Knowing you have a plan in place empowers you to focus on delivering exceptional patient care, even during unforeseen circumstances.
