Nganampa Case study

Alice Springs-based Nganampa Health Council is proving innovation has a place in the bush with its new centrally-hosted medical practice management system providing health workers with access to patient information from any of its nine clinics located in remote northwestern
South Australia.

The initiative is funded by the Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) as part of its Broadband for Health Managed Network program.  Hosted by ac3, the IT infrastructure used by each clinic is based on the highest level of security. Critical components have been duplicated to ensure high reliability of operation; if one part of the infrastructure malfunctions another will take over, eliminating down-time.

The Nganampa solution was implemented using ThinPoint.   ThinPoint enables an organisation to centralise all IT, and access it from anywhere via a browser, over a low speed connection.  For more information on ThinPoint, click here.

The solution also made extensive use of virtualised environments.  For more information on ac3's virtual hosting service, FlexiServer, click here.
