  1. A Better Option for IT’s Data Management Challenge By Shaun Smale Solutions Consultant, BridgeHead Software

  2. Data is growing at an exponential rate Data is complex, time consuming & expensive to manage Data protection is problematic Data sharing is littered with issues ofaccess, security and interoperability The Data Management Problem Especially In Healthcare

  3. PACS is often sighted as the example for the management of large volumes of clinical data • Some consider the PACS model to be the way forward, but what about: • Other image data? • Non-image data? • Administrative data? • E-mail? • Data governance?

  4. PACS: A generator of large volumes of clinical data Digital Imaging & Communication in Medicine (DICOM) Picture Archiving & Communication System (PACS) • Proprietary viewing • Proprietary WORM storage

  5. Departmental Archives • Expensive locked-in storage • Data only accessible via PACS • Limited BCP and DR • Tape back up for DR

  6. Data Sharing – a PACS Solution • Sharing via PACS (DICOM) • Viewing via the web clients

  7. Data Centre-Based, Shared Archives • Managed archive • Resilient Tier1 storage • DICOM sharing via PACS • Data in silos • PACS data only • Tape back ups • Expensive

  8. IT is being asked to take control and manage the storage of all healthcare data Choose between: Vendor service contracts on vendor supplied storage An owner managed solution or

  9. Why Change the Existing Departmental Data Management Model? • Support the needs of all the Clinical users • Struggling to comply with guidelines and legislation • Focused on DR/BCP of the application, not the clinical department • Demand for enterprise wide and cross enterprise SHARING • Demand for a single view of all clinical data • Extended downtime for hardware refresh and application upgrade • Data silos • Separate hardware and infrastructure for each application • For PACS • Repatriate PACS data at the end of LSP contract

  10. The Radiology Solution VNARCHIVE Vendor Neutral Archive

  11. But, what is a Vendor Neutral Archive? It is many things to many people!

  12. PACS Replacement Archive PRARCHIVE Replace proprietary image content with DICOM content Remain departmental service focus

  13. Central Data Centre (LSP model) CDSARCHIVE Central resilient archive geographically spread over two DCs Silos of PACS DICOM data

  14. Shared DICOM Archive SDARCHIVE DICOM archive for all DICOM applications (inc PACS) Silos of department and application data, but with standards-based access to all DICOM Images

  15. Enterprise Image Archive EIARCHIVE • All images: DICOM, non-DICOM and scanned documents • Universal image viewers • Support business continuity process by providing direct access to image data

  16. Cross Enterprise Image Archive CEIARCHIVE Repository for all Clinical data within a standard XDS environment XDS-I registry and viewers for all image data

  17. Which Vendor Neutral Solution? DA SDA PRA VNA EIA UCA CDSA CEIA HDM

  18. An IT Solution for Data Management What are some of the requirements?

  19. Is it designed for: Is it Strategic? • Fully standards-based • Remove hardware, application and vendor lock-in • Designed for the next migration of data to the new application or storage technology • Lower total cost of ownership • Underpin clinical process and future requirements for data access • Facilitate consolidation and collaboration of organisations • Facilitate mergers, splits and moves of data sets

  20. Is it designed for: Cost Management? • Lower operational and maintenance costs • Effective use of existing enterprise IT infrastructure • Sweat IT assets • Expand capacity without replacing legacy systems • Leverage lower cost storage media and technologies • Minimise expensive, time consuming data migrations • Optimised storage efficiency (de-duplication & compression)

  21. Is it designed for: Lifecycle Management? • Easy to incorporate new storage technologies • Reduced storage utilisation through retention policies • Free up high-end storage as data ages • Simple migration to new hardware • Leverage low cost storage • Simple to present data to new applications • Comply with data governance and retention policy

  22. Lifecycle • Date retention policy is complex • Data could be stored for 30 years or more • Storage costs go down, technology evolves • Data generation continues to explode In the next 30 years Hardware will be replaced at least 6 times!! Is your VNA designed for this?

  23. Is it designed for:Data Security & Integrity? • Access control based on legitimate relationship • Integration with existing access controls (LDAP, ADAM, etc.) • Full audit trail • Support for complex data retention policies • AE256 encryption • Support Image Object Change Management (IOCM) • Digital signature

  24. Is it designed for:Business Continuity & DR? • Distributed diverse storage for protection and backup • Full protection against disaster for all clinical dataand applications • Underpin clinical business continuity plans • Access to data from any location during planned and unplanned outages of any one or more applications • Use techniques to reduce the backup volume, increasing frequency and shortening both point and time of recovery

  25. Is it designed for:Administrative data? • An archive for administrative data • Tuned for e-mail (in de-duplication) • Back up any application database and data

  26. Is it designed for: Clinical Users? • ALL CLINICAL DATA • Proprietary and standards-based data • Choice of viewers and tool sets • Cross enterprise sharing (XDS) of all clinical data • All clinical data organised by data context in optimum data format

  27. Why we are all here? The Patient! • IMPROVING PATIENT CARE • Foundation for a single electronic patient record • Guarantee data availability when and where the patient needs it • Guarantee its completeness and integrity

  28. The Future? Big Data • Having consolidated all this data, can we facilitate data mining and clinical research?

  29. Our solution is! HDM Healthcare Data Management
