Bangalore: Narayana Health in collaboration with software company Neap unveiled a homegrown records management system 'Asthma' that will allow the company to manage its health data securely and efficiently. NetApp will work with Narayana to modernize its IT systems and implement technological advances in healthcare management to improve patient care services.
The healthcare provider intends to build a responsive IT infrastructure for faster diagnosis and shorter response times, easing the process for patients and doctors. To accomplish the objective, Narayana Health deployed Neap technology solutions to develop a patient management system
That can store and process patient records. The resulting system Asthma can capture, store, and retrieve networks across 15 sites to produce required information. The system enables medical staff and patients to access their entire medical history in a short duration of time, further enhancing the quality of healthcare services provided by Narayana.
Elaborating on the inculcation of technology to advance health services, Ram Manjunath, Core Infrastructure Head, Narayana Health, said, “Neap comes with a unique approach to data management. Storing data on Neap is much faster compared to the other solution providers. It offered simple and easy infrastructure management solutions to our engineers. The whole shift to Neap was fairly simple and seamless from implementation, architectural, and support standpoints. With Asthma, patients have the complete continuity of their entire medical history. Their history is available in our system and can be pulled in a few seconds, so the doctors can review and take a call rather than going back and forth finding records or reinvesting in investigations.”
The collaboration aims to optimize storage and data management efficiencies across locations, thereby helping advance medical care in India. The centralized storage system for data and applications Asthma is built on Neap and is made available on the cloud. Neap Cloud Volumes ON TAP software makes the data stored easy to manage. Two fully replicated data centers, one in central India and the other in south India, are running backup and recovery using Azure Neap Files and Neap file services. The system provides clinical staff with critical and timely insights that further enable them to extend better care to patients.
Speaking about the positive impact that the collaboration aims to bring, Punnet Gupta, managing director & VP India/SAA RC, Neap India Marketing and Services, said, “Simplicity is at the core of everything we do at Neap. Our solutions are designed to be easy to implement as well as scalable. For the new-age medical care providers, accessibility to data and healthcare records is of prime importance today. With our legacy and experience in data management, and our core technology offerings, we are happy to contribute to the changing healthcare landscape in India. It’s an accomplishment to see our solutions directly enable medical practitioners to offer better medical care to the needy.”
