Regional Hospital Relies on Persystent Software to Ensure Healthier PCs and Better Patient Care
Tampa, FL, December 4, 2009 – Persystent Software, developers of the fastest PC recovery solution on the market, today announced that Taylor Regional Hospital – a Jewish Hospital Health Network healthcare facility in Central Kentucky – is using Persystent Suite successfully to keep its PCs healthy and fully functional so that physicians, nurses and administrative staff can provide the best patient care possible.
As is the case with many hospitals and nonprofit organizations, Taylor Regional Hospital has a very small IT staff by comparison to the PC end users it serves. Add to that, in hospitals, ensuring that PCs are up and running 24/7 is standard operating procedure. For that reason, Taylor Regional Hospital chose Persystent Software to help them operate in the most efficient way possible and be on the cutting edge.
“There are only five of us on staff and we are responsible for 650 end users and 400 desktops,” says Gary Neat, Director of Information Technology at Taylor Regional Hospital. “In the past, we were getting too many day-to-day calls about broken PCs. When we saw a demo of Persystent Suite at an IT seminar, we were sold on the possibilities.”
Regarding the particularly critical for Persystent Suite, Gary adds, “We need our machines to be readily available, secure and operational in a patient’s room. Information is vital to the care of our patients, so we chose a technology to guarantee they’re available at the bedside. We use computers in our emergency room, operating room and cardiology unit – areas where minutes count. Fortunately, our Persystent equipped PCs work every time.”
Along with keeping computers up and running, Persystent Suite is helping the IT department at Taylor Regional Hospital roll out new and upgraded machines faster than they ever could before. “Persystent Suite gives us the ability to both lock down work stations as well as image and provision machines quickly,” confirms IT Systems Engineer, Jeff Perry. “Implementing our EMR (electronic medical records) and bedside documentation systems meant we had to push out a lot of machines at once. In three weeks, we were able to push out 150 machines to patient rooms. We couldn’t have done it without Persystent Suite.”
Persystent Software solutions, including Persystent Suite, ensure that workplace PCs always run smoothly by identifying and resolving any operating system and application-related issues, automatically or on demand, every time the machine starts up. With Persystent, companies can reduce help desk calls and maintain the reliability of a company’s most important worker productivity tool.
