FairWarning® Announces Optimized Appliance-based Solution
Solution leverages Sun Microsystems hardware and MySQL database to deliver privacy surveillance for world’s most sophisticated healthcare organizations
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.– October 28, 2008 – FairWarning, Inc., the world’s leading supplier of cross-platform healthcare privacy surveillance solutions, today announced a new solution aimed at serving the needs of the world’s most sophisticated healthcare organizations that leverages Sun Microsystems technology. FairWarning® announced the delivery of an optimized version of its market leading privacy surveillance software as an appliance-based solution using Sun Fire(TM) X4150 and Sun Fire X4450 systems with Sun’s MySQL(TM) database as the underlying database.
“FairWarning customers will continue to enjoy the value, performance and reliability of our privacy surveillance software delivered as an appliance on an open source stack,” said Kurt Long, Chief Executive Officer of FairWarning. “Through the use of Sun hardware, we deliver an end-to-end privacy surveillance solution that is capable of scaling to meet the needs of the world’s largest healthcare organizations.”
Large health systems have specific privacy surveillance needs for their hospitals, clinics, physician offices and other facilities. FairWarning® now delivers solutions which scale up and scale out:
• Centralized Health Systems: For health systems which have consolidated information technology and privacy operations, a centralized FairWarning® solution leveraging fewer, larger enterprise appliances is generally best. These organizations are able to audit massive volumes of transactions and filter the results to proactively pinpoint potential privacy issues.
• Decentralized Health Systems: For health systems which have decentralized information technology and privacy operations, FairWarning® delivers a solution which leverages several standard appliances. This also enables auditing of millions of transactions which are filtered down for review by the privacy offices.
“The combined strength of Sun’s and FairWarning’s technology creates a solution uniquely qualified to address the privacy challenges posed by the electronic utilization, storage and the exchange of personal health information,” said Joerg Schwarz, Director of Healthcare, Government and Life Sciences at Sun Microsystems. “The potential of healthcare digitization will be realized only if privacy is addressed,” Schwarz said.
FairWarning® customers represent nearly 100 hospitals and 600 clinics, the company offers out of the box privacy surveillance solutions specifically optimized for the healthcare industry and include support for every major healthcare application family, including: Allscripts, ATNA, Cerner Millennium, ChartMaxx, Eclipsys, Epic, GE Centricity, Keane, Kronos, Misys, McKesson Care Manager, McKesson Horizon Expert Documentation, McKesson Meds Manager, McKesson Horizon Patient Folder, McKesson Horizon Surgical Manager, McKesson STAR, McKesson STAR Audit, McKesson Pathways, MEDITECH MAGIC, MEDITECH Client/Server, MercuryMD, Misys, Siemens Invision, SunQuest, T-Systems and Wellsoft.
