With over 1,000 hospitals worldwide using our software, BridgeHead Software understands the challenges you face regarding your healthcare data and storage management. Our differentiator is how we solve the problem.

In Healthcare Data Management you need to solve the right problem first. If your backups are dealing with too much data, tackle the data problem, don’t simply change the backup.

The root cause of backup headaches is the rapidly growing amount of data that hospitals are managing and storing. This is compounded by extensive regulations and compliance requirements forcing data to be kept for longer periods of time. This has, ultimately, led to much longer backup cycles and extended recovery times. Backup vendors have responded by continually adding more functionality to their products, but backup software cannot solve the problem.

Evidence shows that around 80% of a hospital's data currently stored on primary storage will never be accessed again. But it cannot be thrown away in case it is needed. However, just because it cannot be thrown away does not mean that it cannot be 'parked' elsewhere in an environment where it no longer needs to be repeatedly backed up. That environment is a self-protecting archive.

BridgeHead Software's policy based Healthcare Data Management Solutions not only solve the backup issue, they also provide a searchable information store that can effectively be used by your business. Our products STORE, PROTECT and SHARE your data in accordance with your hospital's requirements. Our archives are fully indexed, making data access as transparent and intuitive as if it were online. The in-built search capability makes them ideal for e-Discovery and other business intelligence processes.

BridgeHead's Healthcare Data Management Solutions are made out of 3 elements:

  1. HDM Platform (which provides the base functionality of the total solution)
  2. Data Agents (that interface with a hospital's clinical and administrative applications)
  3. BridgeHead Services.

As specialists in Healthcare Data Management, BridgeHead Software is aware of the complexities found within hospital environments and the plethora of systems used from department to department. Consequently, BridgeHead tailors its software to meet the requirements of healthcare organizations.

Our belief is that hospitals can only harness data in terms of growth and usability with a combined archive and backup strategy. This belief is at the heart of our Healthcare Data Management vision. There is little as important to a hospital than the control of its data flow. We believe that we have something serious to offer in this area.
