SunGard developing ‘LDRPS for Hospitals’

In today’s fast-paced healthcare environment, real-time access to medical information and treatment protocols is required to deliver the highest quality of care. LDRPS (Living Disaster Recovery Planning System) for Hospitals, a new version of the well known LDRPS business continuity management software is being developed by SunGard Availability Services to address the healthcare industry’s unique, 24/7 demands for information availability.

The centerpiece of LDRPS for Hospitals is a database that guides business continuity planning and puts a program in place to help IT and hospital operations recover simultaneously after a systems outage. This offering incorporates hospital incident command system methodologies (HICS) to help healthcare providers standardize emergency management plans and procedures. This approach helps ensure all team definitions, reports and job action steps are uniform across the entire organization. The software is also designed to accommodate hospitals’ use of rotating staff by allowing pager devices to assist in filling team positions in the event of an outage.

Versions of LDRPS for Hospitals will be available with a variety of delivery and functional options, and can be scaled appropriately to fit the needs of healthcare organizations of all sizes. In addition, SunGard Availability Services can host LDRPS for Hospitals at one of its secure data centers located throughout the country. LDRPS for Hospitals is scheduled to be released later in the second quarter of 2009.
