In today’s fast-paced healthcare industry, EHR and network downtime can be a frustrating but inevitable reality. These disruptions lead to financial losses and, more importantly, can significantly impact patient care. Therefore, healthcare organizations must have comprehensive downtime solutions that can easily accommodate planned or unplanned downtime, regardless of its level or severity. dbtech understands that every second counts when it comes to healthcare operations. That’s why our downtime solutions offer two methods to tackle downtime events: system outages and network outages. This post will discuss how these solutions work to ensure your organization has access to critical information throughout network and system downtime events.
System vs. Network Outage: What’s the Difference?
Although both system outages and network outages can disrupt healthcare operations, they vary in terms of the level of severity and impact. System outages, although frustrating, do not necessarily have to result in a catastrophe. However, network outages can bring everything to a screeching halt, impacting everyone within the organization. The key difference between the two is the level of access to information. Without a functioning network, even the most robust system is rendered useless. Therefore, ensuring that healthcare organizations have comprehensive downtime solutions is crucial to keep operations running smoothly.
