Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Services With the daily use of key clinical, billing and other mission-critical data, it’s essential for health and human services organizations to protect themselves from downtime and disasters – whether caused by natural means or human error. How much would it cost your organization to lose even a small amount of data and information? As organizations move to a paperless environment, they must ensure their data can be recovered quickly and completely in the event of a natural disaster, software corruption, security breach, virus attack, deleted files and other causes of data loss. Netsmart has partnered with Vision Solutions to offer Data Protection and Disaster Recovery Services to Netsmart customers to foster maximum operating system availability and business continuity. This service helps Netsmart customers meet HIPAA data disaster recovery requirements and mitigates the effects of unplanned downtime, such as inability to access clinical and billing systems, interruption of electronic prescribing capabilities and delays in reporting and reimbursements. It can also reduce costs associated with downtime or data loss, including the inability to assist consumers, delayed billing cycles, interruption of cash flow, negative impact on revenue, added expense of manual recovery, staff overtime and loss of staff productivity. In addition to data protection and recovery, these services provide an additional return on investment by allowing providers to use replicated data for development, testing, reporting, training and tape back-ups.
