Dr David Phillips from St Andrew's Hospital:
We wanted to concentrate on our clinical costing and let PowerHealth Solutions handle the computer hardware and system administration issues. It is a win-win situation.
All PowerHealth Solutions products are also available through a hosted service option, running on servers located at PowerHealth Solutions. This is becoming increasingly popular as it:
Removes need for inhouse IT support
Reduces the cost of ownership
Allows finance experts to concentrate on the business issues
Provides full user functionality such that it is completely transparent to the users where the server is housed
Provides full data privacy and security, which is a paramount in the healthcare industry. Our hosted solution is much more than just hosting a website. All user access is controlled by SSL VPN connection.

We tailor our hosting options to suit individual organizations, based on factors such as:
Funding requirements — eg state or federal funding, etc.
