TAIPEI, Taiwan, September 4th, 2012–WengYuan County People's Hospital, located in China’s Guangdong province, is a comprehensive hospital offering clinical services, medical education, scientific research, disease prevention, healthcare and rehabilitation. As the hospital expanded and grew over the years, the number of patients grew as well - and the hospital’s Healthcare Information System (HIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) were experiencing storage performance problems caused by the resulting avalanche of patient data.
Tasked with managing and storing all facets of the hospital’s information flow, including registration, pharmaceutical dispensing, invoicing and insurance, the HIS system is the core of the whole hospital’s business operations. However, the hospital’s existing HIS system couldn’t handle the ever increasing patient volume that the hospital was experiencing. Response time and speed of appointment making, record transferring and the record retrieval sub-systems became very slow, sometimes requiring up to 2 to 3 hours to complete a standard archival operation.
Looking to boost performance and relieve bottlenecks, the hospital called on networked storage expert Infortrend. Through the centralized data storage management and highly available data integrated solution provided by the Infortrend EonStor DS S16F-R2842, the previous I/O bottlenecks of the hospital’s HIS system disappeared immediately, especially after configuring the SSD storage. The database query time is now several times shorter than before,- saving the hospital both time and money.
WengYuan County People's Hospital has over 200 medical workstations, creating huge demands for HIS and PACS system data inquiry and entry, which were categorized as typical I/O intensive business operations. Before implementing Infortrend’s EonStor DS S16F-R2842 storage solution, the hospital’s existing HIS and PACS systems could only reach 500 I/Os per second, which could not meet the high demand for these I/O intensive workstations. WengYuang County People’s Hospital is now free of the storage performance headaches of the past - the Infortrend solution has been running very efficiently, and hospital management is extremely satisfied with the overall implementation.
