The healthcare industry is looking at alternative network options in order to achieve more with less spending. The operating cost of a purely private network is increasing with each technological advancement. The demand to stay online round the clock is increasing.

MediLexis can tap into the Hospital VPNs and deliver the services without physically or personally being there. The work will be accomplished on the hospital machines without any data leaving the premises. Our staff with access to such systems; have rigorous background checks before they are allowed to enter and deliver any work.

As a result of the increasing complexity-and cost-of private networks, many organizations are turning to Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). A VPN is a "private" network application that utilizes the public Internet as a wide area network (WAN) backbone. Because all connections to the Internet-based VPN are local, long-distance dial-up and leased line charges (the single largest operating cost of private networks) can be eliminated. Analysts predict, and users report, that VPNs can cut remote networking costs by half-or more.

Patient records and other security issues are the main hurdles in the way of widespread internet usage by the health care industry. Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA) establishes the first set of security standards covering sensitive health care information. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) builds on HCFA's work with proposed security standards that will bring the full benefits and cost-saving advantages of VPN technology to the health care industry. In fact, with the robust security provisions now available commercially for VPNs, the typical VPN is actually more secure than the typical private network.

MediLexis’s VPNs will allow patients, doctors, medical organizations, insurance companies and government agencies alike to communicate effectively and economically in this new age of modern medicine.

Advantages of an Internet-based VPN are:

  • Lower networking costs—from 30 to 80%
  • Extend reach worldwide—with local access
  • Improve productivity easily and affordably
  • Achieve high reliability with the redundancy and resiliency of the Internet
  • Increase flexibility and simplify operations with a single per-site connection to an intranet, extranet(s) and the Internet
  • Leverage enhanced and expanded services that are unavailable in the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), such as Internet Protocol (IP) Multicast
  • Take advantage of the proven interoperability of IP-based applications, especially the powerful user-friendly Web browser.
