ONLINE SERVICES
RWA Medical realizes that online, hosted, or ASP services can
be very beneficial. Advantages of these services are:
- Quick and efficient access to multiple sources of data
- Use of software programs without the cost of development
and deployment
- Data storage without the cost of purchasing and housing
hardware
The market is flooded with choices for online services and we
are constantly researching and reading about emerging products
and technologies.
At this time, RWA Medical believes
that Microsoft is providing the industry leading business tools
for online services and we are partnered
with Microsoft » to provide these tools to our
clients.
As part of the overall technology strategy, health
care practices and other organizations can greatly benefit from
hosted, subscription services. In many cases, online services
provided by Microsoft allow practices of all sizes to utilize software
tools and implement automated processes, where before it would have been
prohibitively expensive.
The
Microsoft Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) » is an online "software
as service" offering hosted by Microsoft. The suite consists
of:
- Exchange Online
MS Exchange Online is an enterprise messaging solution based
on Exchange Server 2007. Included in the solution are secure
e-mail, shared calendars, and contacts. The service can be accessed
via local Outlook client, Web portal or mobile device.
- SharePoint Online
MS SharePoint gives your practice a highly secure, central site
where your staff can share documents, collaborate with team
members, manage projects and coordinate practice-wide communications.
SharePoint gives your practice the tools to create an effective
intranet and virtual workplace that can be accessed from anywhere.
- Office Live Meeting
MS Office Live Meeting is a hosted Web meeting solution that
allows you to connect with colleagues, partners, and even patients
through real-time meetings, training sessions, and events. Features
include a Web client for flexibility of use, interactive desktop
sharing, and whiteboard tools. Video conferencing with Web-cam
capabilities and VOIP come standard.
- Office Communications Online
MS Office Communications Online (OC) is a robust instant messaging
(IM) solution. This IM solution enables real-time person-to-person
communication via text, voice, and video. Through presence awareness,
workers can quickly detect a colleague's availability for a
time-sensitive consult or decision — and then connect
rapidly using a reliable, security-enhanced IM solution. This
replaces that non-secure, non-HIPAA compliant IM you may be
using now.
Benefits of the BPOS service:
- Decreased initial capital investments in site hardware,
software and labor
- Quick deployment and implementation
- Enterprise class high availability
- Enterprise class security
- Always up-to-date technologies
