SunGard, Orchestrate Unite to Improve EMR Availability

SunGard Availability Services (Wayne, Pa.) is partnering with Orchestrate Healthcare (Greenwood Village, Colo.), a technical consulting service, to help healthcare organizations improve information availability for EMRs.

The companies say they will help hospitals develop and execute cost-effective business continuity plans that address the requirement to access EMR data in the event of an IT systems outage to safeguard quality of care.
