Sound Body, Sound Mind, Sound SharePoint

Today’s healthcare and pharmaceutical organizations utilize Microsoft SharePoint to streamline operations, enhance collaboration among employees, and manage business-critical digital assets. Though extremely powerful as a platform, SharePoint’s out-of-the-box capabilities do not deliver the full functionality these organizations require for robust data protection, compliance, administration, and content management. 

To reap the full benefits the platform for success, companies must implement strategies to ensure they address following critical challenges for their SharePoint deployments: 

• Total Compliance with an Ever-Changing Regulatory Framework

  The healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors are two of the most heavily regulated industries in the market. Stringent regulations – including Health Insurance Probabilityand Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (HITECH)– govern how business is conducted and how information is maintained, modified, and communicated. When utilizing SharePoint for collaboration and as a digital asset repository, organizations must have the tools necessary to consistently satisfy constantly evolving industry-specific regulations.

• Maximum Data Protection and Platform Availability

  Business-critical information residing on the platform must be properly protected, and organizations must have the ability to quickly restore accidentally deleted or corrupted data with full fidelity. The platform itself must remain available at all times in order to minimize business disruption. All of this must be achieved with a comprehensive business and technology plan that does not overburden physical, financial, or technological resources in addition to clearly identifying where the risks of compliance violation are, and appropriate risk mitigation strategies.

• Peak Platform Performance

  Healthcare and pharmaceutical companies must perform at the highest levels of productivity, and rely on their SharePoint deployments to help them achieve the best quality of patient care possible – slow application response and platform instability are simply unacceptable. It’s vital that SharePoint and its associated Microsoft SQL servers are optimized with appropriate off-load archiving, geo-replication, and platform availability strategies to quickly meet the needs of all patients.
