Netgain Technology - eHealth Architecture
To help clients keep up with the increasing demands of eHealth, Netgain developed the eHealth Architecture, a fully-integrated platform that encompasses all aspects of eHealth in an outsourced model.

Federal, state, and consumer pressures are driving the use of technology to improve efficiencies and quality of care in the healthcare industry. Healthcare organizations are called to implement and deploy eHealth solutions like electronic medical records (EMR), practice management (PM), ePrescribing, and picture archival communication systems (PACS).  The eHealth Initiative, the national representation of healthcare stakeholders, has a mission to drive improvement in the quality, safety, and efficiency of healthcare through information and information technology.

We become your IT department
With eHealth Architecture, Netgain handles maintaining your software and files. Your employees login to eHealth Architecture as they would a local network to access up-to-date information. We become your entire IT department and replace the need to manage servers, upgrade hardware, and administer a network. Hiring and retaining an expensive IT staff may no longer be needed.
Accessing your Network
Users can login and work from any computer connected to the Internet. From your office to satellite clinics to their home, your users have access to your entire network. A 256k Internet connection is all that is required to have your programs look and run exactly the same as if they’re being run from the office. There’s no installation or setup required.
Your Applications
At Netgain, we deliver a complete solution by hosting practically any application. In addition to your vital eHealth applications, Netgain can also host your business applications that serve your accounting, scheduling or other organizational needs.  If it’s mainstream, then we probably already run it. And if we don’t, we’ll contact their technical services department for you to learn how your software can operate within the security of our hosting center.
The File System
Netgain provides each client with a private, secure data storage area. There are shared folders, public and private areas, file permissions, and so on, just as you would have on a local network server. Each client gets a standard structure– public shares, departmental folders, private user directories, favorites, etc. However, it is entirely flexible and can be customized to your exact needs.
User Support/Assistance
The best part about Netgain’s eHealth Architecture is having unlimited access to qualified helpdesk personnel that truly want to help you with your technical support questions. You can request support by either submitting a request online or by dialing Netgain’s support hotline. With your permission, our support people can also provide shadow support. This means our remote support specialists will see your desktop, and share the use of your keyboard and mouse. It’s like having an expert sitting right next to you.

Netgain has the expertise you need for strategic IT outsourcing and the industry experience to offer a complete eHealth platform. We ensure that your systems are continuously available, highly secure, and fully managed. With Netgain as your technology partner, your critical IT systems will be in capable hands, so you can focus on growing your business.
In a time of budget cuts and cost containments, healthcare organizations across the country are looking at IT outsourcing to reduce their IT expenditures, increase network reliability, and lower the need for IT staffing.
