“The rollout and support of electronic medical records and other clinical systems isn’t cheap or easy for most physician practices. However, some medical groups are finding they can stretch their limited IT resources further by virtualizing their applications and moving them onto the cloud.
Pentucket Medical Associates, a multi-specialty practice with five out-patient facilities in the Merrimack Valley region of Massachusetts, is saving time and money by having recently transitioned clinical systems to a software-as-a-service environment hosted by Global Data Systems. GDS has also virtualized Pentucket’s electronic medical record applications using software from vendor Install Free.”
