Dedalus has moved six of its NHS EPR customers to the cloud, with 14 more NHS trusts destined to migrate and move in in the autumn.
Humber Teaching NHS Foundation Trust was the first NHS trust to enter live, with Norfolk & Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust; Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust University Hospitals; Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust; East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust; and South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust also now live on the platform.
Moving to the Dedalus healthcare platform means reduced complexity and risk, while data and applications remain available at any time.
The platform is hosted on Amazon Public Cloud and uses Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing Services and AWS Managed Services (AMS). The most common shared services on the platform include remote access, deployment automation, network security, and monitoring.
Already published trusts now benefit from the ability to flex and adapt their data processing power at the local trust level.
The move to the cloud has also had an impact on disaster recovery testing and the adoption of security patches, as there is no need to stop them. The result is that NHS trust can deliver a service focused on improved performance, new capabilities and an enhanced security layer. Global monitoring center services reinforce resilience and security, while there is an additional layer of security at the trust and data center level.
Colin Henderson, Regional CEO of Dedalus, UK and Ireland, acknowledged the role of cloud computing in the future of healthcare: “It provides proven and easily accessible capabilities, increasing the pace of innovation and unlocking the potential of health data. It is important to emphasize that the performance statistics of the system of our migrated clients have been very favorable, since the speed of access to the information is so important ”.
Lee Rickles, CIO, director of Yorkshire and Humber care programs, who was the first trust to migrate, added: as well as greater flexibility, performance, scalability and availability. The migration has been collaborative through Trust, collaborating with Dedalus, with minimal disruption. “
Dedalus recently bought DXC technology health business for £ 413 million, making it the largest healthcare IT firm in Europe.
Henderson continued: “Cloud computing opens up many more possibilities for data-driven care as we move into an era that is beyond traditional EPR, using open standards to share information easily. It’s much more dynamic. , since we do not have the usual terms of supply of hardware for the chain of supply ”.
