by Rebecca Walker — September 14, 2009—With growing concern about the rapid spread of the H1N1 virus as students return to school and as the fall flu season quickly approaches, pandemic preparedness and business continuity have become urgent priorities for healthcare providers. AnyWare Group Inc., a provider of remote access solutions for hospitals and healthcare facilities, has launched its ROAM Disaster Preparedness solution to support and enable pandemic planning initiatives for the healthcare sector.
When physical access to a facility has been restricted, this AnyWare Group solution allows healthcare professionals, first responders and others to remotely access essential applications and vital information from any device (e.g., PCs, Macs, PDAs).
As a managed service, the AnyWare Group Disaster Preparedness solution can be implemented within days without incurring capital costs for hardware and software, including related license agreements, says the company. With this ROAM solution, there are no monthly billing fees until the service is used to provide remote access to staff in the case of an emergency or pandemic.
Once AnyWare Group’s Disaster Preparedness solution has been implemented, it can be expanded to an organization’s entire staff within minutes, ensuring staff gain immediate access to critical applications at a moment’s notice. Its Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities ensure that all applications can be easily accessed without having to remember numerous passwords. AnyWare Group also provides a role-based access mechanism that determines which applications each person can use, notes the company.
