Regional West Medical Center Assureon Medical Image Archive Case Study

This case study details the implementation of the Nexsan Assureon® medical image archive at Regional West Medical Center, aimed at enhancing performance and disaster recovery processes. The medical center, located in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, faced challenges with slow access to medical records and an outdated disaster recovery strategy reliant on manual tape media rotation. The existing system created delays in retrieving older studies and increased the burden on IT staff. The Assureon solution provided significant improvements in data recall speed, operational efficiency, and data protection. It features self-managing capabilities, remote site replication, and built-in disaster recovery, which collectively reduced the time for data retrieval from hours to minutes. The case study outlines the positive feedback from medical staff regarding the ease of integration and the operational benefits realized from the new system. Overall, the implementation of Assureon has led to improved data availability and reliability for the medical center's imaging needs.
