Scalability, reliability, and redundancy appeal to IT personnel dealing with healthcare mandates in the long-term care industry
Dallas, TX (May 30, 2013) –Global colocation solutions provider CyrusOne (:CONE, news) is pleased to announce its data center facilities were selected by Prelude Services, which provides information technology (IT) services for senior living and long-term-care organizations.
Prelude Services has been servicing senior living, long-term care, and home- and community-based organizations for more than 15 years. With the rise of electronic health records (EHR) and mandates surrounding the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Health Information Technology Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, organizations need uninterrupted access to electronic protected health information (ePHI). Prelude Services’ expertise in this area, along with its consulting and risk assessment services, provides clients with a bulletproof approach to IT management and security. Organizations are better able to understand their legal and financial exposure, mitigating areas of risk due to potential noncompliance with governmental mandates.
“Prelude Services is bringing our current and future senior-living clients IT systems supported by exceptionally high levels of scalability, reliability, and redundancy,” said Joe Traynor, director of sales and marketing at Prelude Services. “We chose CyrusOne and its Hamilton, Ohio, location due to the redundancy built into their facility for power, cooling, and connectivity, as well as their proven track record of availability and uptime. With our selection of the CyrusOne facilities, we will be better able to give our clients uninterrupted access to their critical business applications and the data needed to provide the quality care they give to their clients.
