Texas Healthcare Network selects AnyWare Group's ROAM secure remote access technology
Improves productivity and efficiencies at more than 50 rural hospitals
Saint John, NB - April 30, 2007 - AnyWare Group, a leading provider of customer-driven access solutions, announced today that Texas Healthcare Network Inc., a technology service provider to healthcare organizations, has selected AnyWare Group's powerful Role Oriented Access Management (ROAM) remote access technology, to enable hospital administrators and physicians in more than 50 rural and community hospitals to retrieve and exchange mission-critical information, in real time, in a secure and efficient manner.
THN intends to integrate ROAM into its preexisting communications infrastructure, eliminating the need for the hospital network's IT administrators to set up and maintain a specialized portal for mobile users. As a result, they will now have more time to focus on more pressing network issues, thereby boosting productivity and reducing costs.
"We are excited about providing this enabling technology to our hospitals to significantly increase their flexibility in secure system access," said Randy Zunke, President of Texas Healthcare Networks, Austin, TX. "ROAM is very easy to use, enabling the user to navigate through many hospital applications from one log-on. This will allow our hospitals to rethink how and where they deploy personnel and not be constrained with current physical limitations."
ROAM, AnyWare Group`s proprietary foundation for creating a virtual workplace, enhances patient care and employee productivity by enabling physicians to securely access confidential and sensitive information - including email, patient records, test results and x-rays - from remote areas to allow quick diagnoses and reduce time-to-treatment delays. ROAM`s secure remote access and communications infrastructure includes an integrated desktop portal, SSL VPN security, and role-based identity management. The technology is designed to fit any architecture or platform, regardless of access strategy, application type, device or network. It can be integrated quickly into an organization's existing environment, without incurring system downtime.
"Rural and community hospitals have a great financial challenge in providing their physicians and administrators with the latest technologies on the market," said Gerry Verner, Chief Executive Officer, AnyWare Group. "By incorporating ROAM into its computing environment, Texas Healthcare Network has opened up the opportunities for these hospitals, enabling doctors, administrators, in-house lawyers and other stakeholders to access critical information when they need it - anytime, anywhere - so they can make more informed decisions and, ultimately, improve patient care."
