Why Careful Health IT Infrastructure Planning is Essential.

Properly planning upgrades to legacy health IT infrastructure solutions prevents compatibility issues and assures the IT budget is being used effectively. A successful health IT infrastructure comprises many layers. From storage to wireless networks, these solutions need to work together to ensure electronic health data is secure and accessible. IT infrastructure is made up of the solutions used to protect and access the information needed for an organization to run. Healthcare organizations typically run on an IT infrastructure that contains a wireless network, a storage server, and an operating system at a minimum. Infrastructure also contains the programs and apps used to collect electronic data and any cloud or virtualization solutions an organization chooses to deploy.
