Every second counts in a medical environment
In a hospital or clinic every second counts – that’s where we start.
When a doctor needs the patient record, when a clinic accesses a medical history or when images and laboratory results are processed, there is no room for unforeseen situations such as “the system is down” or “the server is not responding”.
As a result, the IT infrastructure must be as reliable as a medical team, namely, available, secure, and fast. This can only be achieved through a private cloud solution, configured specifically for the particularities of the medical field.
Complexity isn’t the problem… unreliable systems are
You would be tempted to say that medicine will maintain its analog character, being the last stronghold in the path of digitalization, but in the book “The Checklist Manifesto”, surgeon Atul Gawande tells how a simple checklist implemented in operating rooms reduced mortality by more than 30%.
“It is far easier to make mistakes in complex systems. But it is also far easier to prevent them with the right systems in place.”
The conclusion would be that it is not complexity that is the problem, but the lack of a reliable system to manage that complexity. Just like in a modern clinic, where dozens of applications, databases, files and systems must work perfectly, without breaks and without compromises.
Why do hospitals and clinics need a private cloud?
Patient data protection
The electronic medical record, the results of investigations, the history of treatments, the tax documents, all represent sensitive data.
According to the legislation (GDPR and Law no. 95/2006), this data must be:
• stored in a secure way
• accessed only by authorized personnel
• Encrypted and audited
With a private cloud solution, each clinic retains full control over its data, meaning:
• End-to-end encryption
• complete isolation of the infrastructure
• Automatic Backup and Fast Restore
• Permanent monitoring and auditability
Quick access, regardless of location
Whether you are in a county hospital, in a private center or in an ambulance equipped with an electronic system, the data must be there, instantly.
A private cloud solution guarantees:
• 99.95% SLA uptime
• Active Replication
• fast connections via dedicated networks or VPNs
• Possibility of secure access from any device
Concrete scenario for a private network of clinics
A network of clinics with more than 30 locations can opt for a private cloud solution with the following strategic needs:
• Centralization of medical records
• Reduce costs with local servers
• Fast access to data without compromising privacy
Result?
• Processing time of medical records decreases by 60%
• the possibility of restoring information in the context of a cyberattack
• eligibility with GDPR rules
Direct benefits for the medical field
| Critical need | Private Cloud Solution |
|---|---|
| Health data protection | Private cloud isolation, encryption, complete control |
| Quick access from anywhere | Secure VPN, guaranteed uptime, NVMe storage |
| Operational continuity | Automatic backup, replication between data centers |
| GDPR compliance and internal audit | Logs, granular access, monitoring systems |
| Reduced infrastructure costs | No hardware investment, dynamic scalability |
The Checklist Manifesto and infrastructure reliability
In hospitals and clinics there is no room for improvisation. Patient data cannot “wait for the server to restart” and one’s life cannot depend on a fragile infrastructure.
“The Checklist Manifesto” shows us that lives can be saved with simple but safe processes. Likewise, IT infrastructure becomes invisible, efficient and reliable when it is well thought out, well secured and well automated.
Through a private cloud solution, hospitals and clinics in Romania can have exactly that “system that doesn’t make mistakes”, regardless of the time, location or workload.
