When healthcare systems experience an outage, downtime can quickly impact patient care, clinical decision-making, and operational efficiency. Having a reliable downtime solution in place ensures care teams can continue working with confidence, even when primary systems are unavailable.
dbtech Downtime Solution Overview
dbtech’s downtime solution is a purpose-built, healthcarefocused system designed to provide uninterrupted access to critical patient information during EHR, network, or system outages. Using dedicated, stand-alone downtime workstations, dbtech ensures clinicians always have access to essential data such as patient census information, clinical documentation, and key workflows, without relying on the live production environment.
These workstations can be isolated from the primary network, making them both reliable during outages and inherently more secure. Because they are not dependent on real-time connectivity to core systems, they remain available when hospitals and clinics need them most.
How the dbtech Downtime Solution Works
dbtech’s downtime workstations continuously receive essential patient census updates through a secure, connection, only required information is sent. This keeps critical information current while maintaining isolation from the main network. When a system disruption or outage occurs, staff can immediately log into the downtime workstation and continue clinical operations without delay.
During downtime, clinicians can document vitals, medications, treatments, and clinical alerts electronically, eliminating the need for paper workflows. Once primary systems are restored, this information can be exported back into the EHR, helping reduce reconciliation time and documentation gaps.
Downtime Solution Activates Within Seconds
dbtech’s downtime solution can be activated within seconds of detecting an issue, ensuring minimal disruption to healthcare services. There’s no complex setup or manual switching required, access is immediate. This rapid activation helps care teams maintain continuity, avoid workflow bottlenecks, and focus on patient care rather than system recovery.
