Hosted Desktop for Healthcare

Many independent companies are now providing healthcare services on behalf of NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups as well as those providing care in the private sector.  Secure and reliable IT systems are paramount to be able to offer these services and the NHS in particular will require companies to prove they are correctly managing patient data.

Cloud technology can sometimes be seen as a risk when managing sensitive personal data but if you follow your due diligence it can also provide you with everything you need to manage patient data securely.  Here’s some of the reasons healthcare providers host their applications and data with Your Office Anywhere

• ISO 27001 certified

ISO 27001 Information Security Management System is a certification that proves that companies not only have robust information security policies and procedures but also that they comply with them and can prove it to independent auditors. Your Office Anywhere has been certified since 2014.   We use the services of a 3rd party UK data centre to house our servers, the data centre is also ISO 27001 certified.

As a healthcare provider there is a very high likelihood that you will need to show that your service provider is ISO 27001 certified as part of IGSoC.  When comparing providers make sure both the provider and the data centre they use are both certified.   Some providers will make the claim on the back of the data centres certification

• Visibility of our security measures

We can give you a long list of the security measures we have in place to keep data secure and systems up and running, but more than that, we are also willing to show you.   We show many prospect customers around our systems in the data centre who need to view the infrastructure as part of their due diligence.

• Mobility

Whether working in your office or sat with a customer at their home or office, people in financial services need access to their applications and data everywhere.   A hosted remote desktop allows you to run your application anywhere there is an Internet connection, including using a 3G or 4G connection via your mobile phone.  You can also run it on your favourite tablet, including iPads and Android tablets.

• Remote workers

In our experience many healthcare providers rely on care workers or specialists visiting customers/patients across the country and invariably they work out of their home office.  Having the same access to applications and data as those in the head office is vital for these workers. Combine hosted desktops with hosted telephony and they can truly work from anywhere.

• Multiple sites/branches

A great example of the benefits of hosted desktops in the healthcare industry is a customer of ours who run several care homes across the country as well as having a separate head office.   Staff at the care homes and the head office all access their applications over hosted remote desktops, typically running Office but also some specialist applications designed for care homes.  Some staff also run their hosted applications from tablets as they do the rounds of the care homes.

Moving to our service is easy and from only £34.00 per month

For healthcare providers moving to hosted desktops is very straightforward, all the setup, installation is done for you and we’ll help you with data migration.   We require no IT experience from our customers.  It’s also risk free, you can test your applications with copies of your data to make sure everything works as expected and then cut-over with a final data copy when you and your business users are happy.

Hosted desktops cost from as little as £34.00 per user per month, that’s less than your average mobile phone contract.
