3. ASP/HOSTED
OVERVIEW

4.  ASP (application service provider) is a company that offers
businesses access over the Internet to applications and
related services that would otherwise have to be located in
your agency with its own support staff.
 All you need is Internet Access! Turn your computer on and
go to work!
 Today, every company can put to work the finest in computer
technology, personnel and security without the up front
expense or the escalating costs and confusion over which
technology to use and who to employ.
What is ASP?

5.  Suppose we told you that you would never have to purchase
your own server or software again...that you didn't have to
worry about upgrades, service or maintenance for your IT
and that you would always have the latest technology
supervised by the most qualified IT Team available.

6.  What if we also told you that you would have the most
current editions of the most powerful business application
available for your business on a per seat, predictable
computing cost basis? How would it be if all you had to do
was come in, turn on your computer and go to work?

7. DID YOU KNOW THAT 90% OF THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT YOU USE IN YOUR HOME
HEALTH AGENCY’S IT DEPARTMENT WILL BE
OBSOLETE OR INCOMPATIBLE WITHIN 18
MONTHS?

9. ASP ADVANTAGE

10. “EVERY MAJOR APPLICATION THAT AN
ORGANIZATION INSTALLS REQUIRES A COSTLY
HARDWARE INFRASTRUCTURE TO RUN IT AND
PEOPLE TO MAINTAIN IT. WITH THE ASP
MODEL, ALL THE APPLICATION FEATURES ARE
AVAILABLE THROUGH A WEB BROWSER AND THE
SERVICE PROVIDER TAKES ON THE EXPENSE OF
PROVIDING THE SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE
INFRASTRUCTURE TO DELIVER THE SERVICE.
John Pallatto, Enterprise News & Reviews

BOTTOM-LINE BENEFITS

13.  CareSmart AMS is a hosted application. A “hosted” application
means that HCSS, in partnership with CyberlinkASP, hosts and
provides 100% of the installation, support, and maintenance of
the software.
 All you need to start accessing CareSmart AMS is Internet
access and a standard web browser. There is no software or
hardware to buy or maintain. We eliminate worries of disk
crashes, backups, unauthorized users, upgrades, or any of the
other headaches of traditional licensed software packages.
This gives you a faster implementation with no drain on your IT
infrastructure, allowing you to focus on other critical projects.
WHAT IS A HOSTED APPLICATION?

14.  HCSS uses a robust, multi-level
security model to protect your
sensitive business information.
This model includes network
perimeter, application, data
encryption, and physical data
center security measures.
IS MY DATA SECURE?

15.  Our Data Assurance Solution ensures
that the data stored on our servers is
available to our customers under any
circumstance. Data is backed up daily to
disk, tape and stored in an offsite facility.
Customers have the option to retrieve
essential files from a secure location
online 24 hours a day. This gives the
customer the ability to keep their own
backups if they desire.
WHAT ABOUT BACKUP?

16.  The Security Rule covers only PHI that is electronically stored
or transmitted by covered entities. The Security Rule
addresses such issues as data backcup, disaster recovery and
emergency operations.
 Covered Entities that “collect, maintain, use, or transmit” PHI
in electronic form must construct “reasonable and appropriate
administrative, physical and technical safeguards” that ensure
integrity, availability, and confidentiality.
 CyberlinkASP is SAS 70 Type II Certified.
HIPAA

17.  One key advantage for home health agencies is the ability to
remotely access the software without the need for a costly
VPN solution.
 Field and office staff login through a web portal.
 All information is real-time.
 No sync or upload time is required.
