TORONTO – September 9, 2009 – With growing concern about the rapid spread of the H1N1 virus as students return to school and as the fall flu season quickly approaches, pandemic preparedness and business continuity have become urgent priorities for healthcare providers. AnyWare Group Inc., a provider of remote access solutions for hospitals and healthcare facilities, today launched its ROAM Disaster Preparedness solution to support and enable pandemic planning initiatives for the healthcare sector. When physical access to a facility has been restricted, this AnyWare Group solution allows healthcare professionals, first responders and others to remotely access essential applications and vital information from any device (e.g., PCs, Macs, PDAs).

As a managed service, the AnyWare Group Disaster Preparedness solution can be implemented within days without incurring capital costs for hardware and software, including related license agreements. “Lessons learned from SARS as well as other isolated incidents of facility closures due to disease outbreaks, reinforce that secure and timely remote access should be an integral component of any pandemic planning program for hospitals and healthcare facilities,” says J.R. Dick, Director, I.T.at Quinte Health Care.

Once AnyWare Group’s Disaster Preparedness solution has been implemented, it can be expanded to an organization’s entire staff within minutes, ensuring staff gain immediate access to critical applications at a moment’s notice. Its Single Sign-On (SSO) capabilities ensure that all applications can be easily accessed without having to remember numerous passwords.

“Easy and secure access to information and resources – especially in pandemic situations where facility access may be limited – is vital to a healthcare provider's ability to deliver continuity in patient care,” says Robert Lalonde, CEO of AnyWare Group. “Our fully managed solution is affordable and easy to implement and ensures that healthcare workers can easily and securely access resources in times of need.
