The ProStor InfiniVault is the most cost-effective storage system for the long-term retention of data and images. ProStor InfiniVault integrates information management software, online disk, and RDX® removable disk to simplify retention management, while automating disaster protection and compliance. A ProStor InfiniVault is the perfect target for:

  • Electronic Medical Records (EMR)

  • Healthcare business systems

ProStor InfiniVault is delivered as an integrated storage system, which attaches to any existing network. The included information management software simplifies the management of data, by combining all tiers of storage in one system. Additionally, a ProStor InfiniVault manages the retention and disposition of the data for any length of time and to any legal or compliance requirement.

Electronic Medical Records

ProStor InfiniVault is a scalable, secure, and affordable solution for medical records and images. It provides the performance and accessibility of disk-based archives, with the cost and scalability of traditional tape or optical alternatives. ProStor InfiniVault manages medical records or DICOM objects over the network, and can retrieve them on request.

Healthcare Data Preservation

In addition to storing EMR, an added capability for storing DICOM objects is available. ProStor InfiniVault is designed to automate compliance with the most rigorous business rules, whether driven by corporate policies, government regulations, or legal requirements. With a simple one-time setup, data stored in ProStor InfiniVault is automatically retained for the required length of time, and then deleted. All the while authenticity, immutability, accessibility, and confidentiality are maintained. The system supports eDiscovery activities, can make multiple copies, and provides complete audit trails for determining chain-of-custody. ProStor InfiniVault is a flexible healthcare archive solution that is capable of meeting compliance needs at no additional costs for hardware, software, or infrastructure changes.

ProStor InfiniVault-DICOM is optimized for the HITECH Act’s stringent requirements.  Are you?  

 

The HITECH Act adds new requirements concerning privacy and security for health information that materially and directly affect many more entities, businesses, and individuals in more diverse ways than HIPAA. 

 

Beginning February 17, 2010, the HITECH Act fundamentally changes the enforcement of HIPAA violations and extends these penalties and liabilities to business associates – newly defined as persons and organizations that perform activities involving the use or disclosure of individually identifiable health information, such as claims processing, data analysis, quality assurance, billing, and benefit management, as well as those who provide legal, accounting, or administrative functions.
