The deployment of this system made it possible to reduce "considerably the connection times to clinical applications and optimize the time dedicated to attending to patients", highlights this technology company. Last year, Children's Hospital of Alabama provided medical care to minors from 46 states and seven countries, managed more than 675,000 outpatient visits and 15,000 hospital admissions, and also hosted the pediatric program of the University of Alabama-Birmingham ( UAB).

"Data is not only essential, it is inherent to our mission", explains the director of Information of this center, Bob Sarnecki, who adds that "the information that we store, process and give to our doctors and medical teams is essential to provide evidence-based care and, furthermore, it is the basis for making decisions that can change a child's life forever ”.

Alabama Children's Hospital screened multiple providers and chose Pure Storage. "Quickly, it migrated all of its VDI to the new platforms and the speed of access to all critical clinical applications improved dramatically, such that the time required to connect to the VDI went from two-five minutes to just 20 seconds", underlines this company.

Critical patient data

In addition, Pure Storage details that the full availability of the systems helped make critical patient data always accessible. These improvements allow physicians to spend more time with patients, helping to improve outcomes.

“All of Alabama Children's Hospital's efforts are focused on achieving the best possible outcomes for its patients, and technology and data are essential to this mission. Critical healthcare IT systems must be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and must function optimally - making life-saving information available to healthcare professionals to enable them to focus on what who do best, take care of patients, "says Pure Storage Vice President of Global Healthcare Technology Strategy Josh Gluck.
