Polaris Health Directions Inc.
Polaris maintains a state-of-the-art software development and applications hosting environment that eliminates many of the barriers to integration of assessment into routine operational procedures. Our web applications are served from an industrial-strength web server platform, including Apache Tomcat web server, an n-tier application architecture, the Struts application framework, and Hibernate database interface.
Here’s why Polaris’s strong IT platform matters:
✔ It keeps data secure
Polaris maintains secure servers for all client data. Multi-layered network security measures prevent intrusion and protect against viruses, spyware, etc. Internal files are backed up and stored securely off-site. All communication of user-identifiable information is done over SSL to ensure user privacy. Polaris hosts patient-identifiable data for some of the largest healthcare providers in the nation. The security of Polaris data has never been breached, after more than 50,000 patient assessments.
✔ Polaris systems work well with others
They are designed for interoperability with other systems, and support sharing of large data files with third parties (eg., nightly updating of managed care member eligibility data).
✔ It protects against service disruption
Treatment programs depend upon regular assessments as part of the clinical process. Polaris provides regular, remote back-up of patient data files and 24-hour disaster recovery.
✔ It provides for compliance with regulatory requirements
Polaris IT provides strong, HIPAA-compliant security, privacy and authentication.
✔ Polaris distributed access makes life easier for patients and staff
Patients can complete assessments from home, clinicians and administrators can access data remotely.
✔ It provides for nearly unlimited expansion and customization
Polaris systems are scalable. They can accommodate 10,000 simultaneous users. New assessment instruments are easily added.
