New DNA sequencing platform gets results into the hands of physicians faster
Although the healthcare industry has often been more cautious than other sectors in embracing new technologies, there are signs that hospitals and other patient care organizations are beginning to adopt the enterprise model when it comes to data management. This might involve mimicking attributes of a public cloud when it makes sense on-prem and implementing server virtualization or application delivery platforms to meet healthcare needs.
One Texas-based healthcare organization partnered up with Nutanix Inc. to create a first-of-its-kind DNA sequencing platform, according to Don Mims (pictured), director of infrastructure and virtualization at Baylor Scott & White Health LLC.
“What we do behind the scenes to enable patient satisfaction and patient outcomes using web scale technology is something that we’re going to continue to build and grow,” Mims said.
Mims paid a visit to theCUBE, SiliconANGLE’s mobile livestreaming studio, and answered questions from hosts Dave Vellante (@dvellante) and Stu Miniman (@stu) during Nutanix.NEXT US 2017 in Washington, D.C. They discussed recent technology projects involving Nutanix Inc. and solutions for thorny problems surrounding database migration. (*Disclosure below.)
New DNA sequencing platform created
With 40 hospitals and more than 500 clinics, the Texas-based healthcare organization has been working with Nutanix on a number of projects, including one that involves DNA sequencing. Mims’ firm recently broke new ground through the delivery of a solution on Nutanix that created an in-house DNA sequencing platform. The primary goal of the project was to get the sequencing information into the hands of physicians faster.
“It has been very successful implementation, and it’s a very robust system today. It’s a very exciting space,” Mims stated, adding that his organization might offer this as a service to other physicians and clinics. “So, it’s going to grow over time from just an in-house solution to maybe something more broad-scale.”
Speed of service delivery is also an important part of the platform at Baylor Scott and White Health, as Mims works to meet the needs of both patients and physicians. “Patients want quicker access to data and quicker access to physicians,” he explained.
To meet the need for speed, the healthcare executive told theCUBE that he views one-click database migration as an “exciting” tool that will take stress off the data center.
“Nutanix has solved that by taking care of the ‘how,’ and you just need to figure out how to validate, test it and confirm that once it’s there everything works as expected,” Mims stated.
