February 20, 2017, Orlando, FL – Fogo Data Centers, a leading Healthcare IT cloud services provider, and MI7, a leading provider of health data liberation tools and services, today announced at the HIMSS17 healthcare conference that the two companies have partnered in an effort break down silos of data through secure interoperable data solutions, a major concern for healthcare organizations.
Data that resides in silos have long been the stumbling block to true interoperability in Healthcare. The ability of healthcare information systems to work together and share information within and across organizational boundaries involves secure data exchange. However, patient data has become a new type of currency in the world of hacking and ransomware. Major hospitals and healthcare organizations have been recently victimized by nefarious actors stealing patient data and holding these organizations hostage, posing a very serious public health and safety issue.
Fogo Data Centers helps migrate and hosts sensitive patient data held within electronic health record systems into Fogo's premier data security centers, providing redundant power, cooling, and high-speed internet connectivity with 24/7 monitoring mitigating risk, and providing the opportunity for secure data interoperability. and data security.
“I am extremely excited to partner with the cutting-edge innovators at MI7,” said William G. Esslinger, Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Fogo Data Centers. “The combination of MI7’s tools and our systems and facilities working together is a first in Healthcare IT and I believe a huge step towards solving our broken healthcare system.”
By coupling your EHR hosting at Fogo Data Centers with MI7's Q secure EHR integration software suite, the most sensitive health data is properly secured before it ever leaves the safety of the data center. Digital health companies hosting their servers at Fogo Data Centers can state that not a single bit of data goes over the internet when the EHR and the digital health solution are hosted in the same data center.
"MI7 is very proud to work with Fogo Data Centers to create the industry's first 'off-net' integration between digital health companies and electronic health record systems." said Zac Jiwa, Chief Executive Officer of MI7. "The safety of our country's most sensitive information is at stake."
