SAN ANTONIO, May 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Rackspace Technology®
(https://www.rackspace.com/) (NASDAQ: RXT), a leading end-to-end hybrid,
multicloud, and AI technology services company, today announced Seattle
Children's successfully implemented an Epic Electronic Health Records (EHR)
system leveraging Rackspace's Healthcare Cloud solution. After an extensive
evaluation of private and public cloud service providers, the organization chose
Rackspace to manage the migration and provide fully managed private cloud
infrastructure services for an Epic environment.
"We chose Rackspace Technology as a strategic partner due to their deep
technology background, track record of managing critical workloads, strong
customer experience reputation, and a dedicated commitment to healthcare
providers and patient outcomes," said Dr. Zafar Chaudry, Senior Vice President,
Chief Digital, and Information Officer at Seattle Children's. "We are thrilled
with the successful execution and migration into the Rackspace environment due
to meticulous planning, executive engagement, and tight collaboration with
Seattle Children's stakeholders throughout this journey."
Rackspace and Seattle Children's engagement includes Service-Level Agreement
(SLA) backed managed services, a predictable cost model, expandability for
growth, and adjacency for a third-party application ecosystem. The new managed
hosting infrastructure will allow the organization system to focus on high-value
strategic initiatives that improve patient care while optimizing the business of
serving the Pacific Northwest community.
"Epic is a comprehensive electronic health records system that enables Seattle's
Children's to maintain patient records, facilitating improved patient care
coordination and data management," said Brian Lillie, President of Private
Cloud. "The Rackspace Infrastructure Managed Services team seamlessly migrated
the organization's Epic instance with a designated playbook with minimal impact
on systems availability. In addition, Rackspace holds all the Epic
certifications needed to implement the deployment and now to support the
organization's Epic infrastructure. We are the perfect partner to host and
assist Seattle Children's in managing this critical workload transition."
"Health systems today focus on improving care outcomes and patient experiences
in their communities. Innovation is at the forefront of driving change in
achieving these desired outcomes and requires new ways of working, including
technology choices that can help create these new forms of value by embracing a
do-more-with-less paradigm shift," said PV SubbaRao, Rackspace Technology,
Global Healthcare, and Life Sciences Senior Vice President. "With this strategic
clinical application migration, Seattle Children's is embracing the power of
Rackspace private cloud and the innovation it can drive in care delivery and
treatments through pediatric research."
