Secure, Compliant, High-Availability Infrastructure for PHI, EHR & Clinical Ops

Healthcare IT has a different heartbeat: PHI, clinical uptime, imaging scale, and telehealth latency.
SolveForce builds healthcare networks, security, cloud, and data platforms that are HIPAA-aligned, Zero-Trust by default, and measured with SLOs—so clinicians can chart, image, consult, and operate without friction, and auditors can verify every control.

📐 SLO Guardrails (Healthcare Workloads)

Service / KPI (p95 unless noted)	Target (Recommended)
EHR app latency (client→app)	≤ 50–120 ms (regional)
PACS viewer open → first image	≤ 1.5–3.0 s
Imaging DCI latency (one-way, metro)	≤ 1–2 ms
Telehealth audio/video latency	≤ 120–180 ms end-to-end
Clinic WAN availability	≥ 99.95% with dual underlays
Zero Trust attach (ZTNA)	≤ 1–3 s to first byte
Backup immutability coverage (PHI sets)	= 100%
Evidence completeness (Sev-1/2)	= 100% (logs, approvals, artifacts)

SLO breaches auto-open tickets and trigger SOAR (reroute, scale, rollback). → /siem-soar

🧰 Reference Architectures (Pick Your Fit)

---

📊 Observability & Evidence

• Clinical SLO dashboards (EHR/PACS/telehealth), WAN SLOs, Zero-Trust decisions, WAF/DLP hits, backup/DR artifacts.
• Audit packs: access logs, change diffs, key custody statements, 911/NG911 test records (for voice), drill artifacts.
• Streams to SIEM; automation in SOAR for contain/rollback/reporting. → /siem-soar

Key terms in plain language

Open a term for a concise explanation of language used on this page.

💡Fiber Internet

Internet delivered through strands of glass using light. Fiber commonly supports high capacity, low latency, and strong upload performance, but availability must be confirmed for the exact address.

⏱️Latency

The time it takes data to travel between two points. Lower latency improves voice, video meetings, cloud applications, gaming, and other real-time services.

🔀SD-WAN

Software-defined wide area networking. It manages multiple connections and chooses paths based on application needs, performance, and policy to improve resilience and control.

🔐VPN

A virtual private network creates an encrypted connection across another network, commonly allowing remote users or offices to access private resources securely.

🧰Software as a Service (SaaS)

Software accessed as an online service instead of being installed and maintained entirely on the customer’s own computers or servers.

♻️Disaster Recovery (DRaaS)

A plan and service for restoring applications, data, and operations after an outage or disruption. DRaaS provides recovery infrastructure through a managed cloud service.

🛡️Cybersecurity

The practices and controls used to protect identities, devices, networks, applications, and data from unauthorized access, disruption, or manipulation.

🚫Zero Trust

A security model that does not automatically trust a user or device because of its location. Access is continuously verified and limited to what is necessary.
