IT Risk is Patient Risk

We've spent some time refining our vision and messaging at Anchor Infrastructure. It's straight-forward, simple, and should land close to home for a lot of folks: IT Risk is Patient Risk


A 2019 study published in The Lancet Digital Health Journal (cited below) analyzed 2,627 patient safety incidents tied to Health IT failures and the findings are... alarming.


• Nearly 20% of these failures caused 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. 

• 𝟳𝟱% of these incidents were classed as 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.


The data is a stark reminder that investing in robust Health IT 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, the 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 that manage them, and the 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 to do so, 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 - 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹.



At Anchor Infrastructure we're committed to supporting healthcare organizations in mitigating IT risk through reliable infrastructure, efficient systems, and strong process. Reach out and let's get started.
