The 159th episode of the Healthcare IT Today Podcast is sponsored by Pure Storage, the data storage platform that grows with you forever. This time we are talking about resiliency and business continuity! We start this episode off by discussing what types of disasters we should be planning for in healthcare. Then we debate whether people or technology has a bigger impact on resiliency in healthcare. Next, we take a look at system redundancy and failover planning to see which has the bigger gap. Lastly, we discuss what other industry models healthcare should mimic.

Thank you to our sponsor, Pure Storage! We all need a data platform that is reliable, efficient, and manageable. Data is growing and requirements are changing. What feels sufficient and efficient today may not be tomorrow. Just like our own personal health, it’s important to routinely monitor your IT infrastructure. That’s why Pure Storage has created a quick quiz to help you start a conversation about whether your data platform is future-ready—or maybe it’s time for a checkup. Go to healthcareittoday.com/purestorage to take a quick self-guided quiz—and start a path to more reliable and flexible data services.
