Today, HP announced that Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) upgraded their entire IT infrastructure to HP ProLiant servers.

To date, CTCA has deployed more than 500 HP ProLiant rack and blade servers as part of a major infrastructure overhaul designed to increase system performance, uptime and reliability ­– all of which are critical to delivering the best patient care. In particular, HP is working with CTCA and the healthcare industry, to help streamline the industries’ migration to electronic health records from the legacy, paper-based records systems previously used. Electronic health records have been shown to improve patient care by increasing overall treatment efficiencies while reducing opportunities for human errors.

CTCA’s unique treatment approach combines the best traditional medical treatment with scientifically supported therapies aimed at helping patients better manage side effects, strengthen their immune systems and improve their quality of life during treatment. For almost 30 years, CTCA has been on the leading edge of advanced cancer treatment and serves patients with advanced cancer from all 50 states, and around the world, at facilities located in suburban Chicago, Philadelphia, Tulsa (Okla.), and suburban Phoenix.
