Most larger hospitals and health systems have poured millions of dollars and years of planning into the deployment of their EMR platforms. But even after that initial investment, there are still significant resources required to maintain, optimize and upgrade those systems over the course of the system's lifecycle.

As these systems expand, evolve and support more complex services and technologies, it's vital that healthcare organizations are able to gain a clear view into the underlying IT infrastructure that supports its use. Without it, siloed data sources, disconnected point solutions and service disruptions may interfere with clinicians' ability to deliver the highest quality patient care.
