Azure Cloud Deployment Services for Epic EHR

EHR Cloud Read-Only on Microsoft Azure consists of a read-only replica of your production operational database paired with additional EHR components needed to enable user access via a browser and mobile applications. To minimize the attack surface of the cloud read-only environment during normal operations, the secure connection between your primary data center(s) and Microsoft Azure cloud is the only link between the cloud read-only environment and your primary network.

Ransomware is the largest risk you face in terms of an extended disruption to healthcare delivery. Plan for that what-if scenario in order to respond effectively and minimize disruptions to patient care, making the most of your investment with Microsoft Azure.

UST helps clients plan, implement, and operationalize cloud read-only on Microsoft Azure in 8 weeks flat. We start with assessing ROI and TCO and plan with the client how to achieve ROI on day 1 with no net expenditure for deployment.
