Clinique de La Source, Lausanne, is one of the most renowned hospitals in Switzerland. Founded in 1891, it is owned by the La Source Foundation, an independent and private non-profit foundation. Since its inception, its goal has been to continuously invest in advanced technologies and healing methods – always striving to maintain the highest level throughout the care process, with which the hospital became well renowned since more than 130 years. That is why it has a modern IT infrastructure that keeps all important data digitized. The always increasing volumes of data must safely be backed up and kept available. Audit-compliant archiving of patient data also plays an important role. When switching to a new backup and archiving strategy, the team decided to use the Silent Brick System from FAST LTA, which was introduced together with the Swiss IT specialist distributor and system integrator Eurebis AG.

Easily expandable at any time

New technologies have always been the basis for Clinique de La Source to improve its treatment and care activities. So, it is obvious that the company also stays up to date in the area of IT. Modern PACS solutions such as Visus JiveX for documentation and laboratory data, and Telemis for radiology and oncology data, support the clinic‘s staff in their work for their patients. And the amount of data has grown in recent years as new generations of equipment offer higher resolution and increased data processing throughput. Regular backups are standard practice. But Etienne Marchand, head of the IT department at Clinique de La Source since 2010, and his seven colleagues were increasingly coming to the limits of the previous solution. The existing backup storage was too inflexible and could not be expanded easily. In addition, they were interested in a backup appliance solution from Rubrik. Furthermore, the PACS data needed to be backed up to WORM storage in a compliant manner to meet all compliance-relevant standards. Together with the system integrator Eurebis AG and its system engineer Daniel Tessié, the IT team developed a new data backup strategy in 2020 that should last for the coming years.

Clinique de La Source

Clinique de La Source, Lausanne, is one of the best-renowned private hospitals in Switzerland. It is part of a non-profit foundation of the same name, which also includes the Institut et Haute École de Santé La Source (HES – SO). In 1891, the La Source foundation established a nursing facility that would provide practical fields of application for the students of its own nursing school. This was the origin of Clinique de La Source. Innovations in nursing and modern healing procedures have been the main driving force since the beginning. Today, the clinic includes several specialized services, including Emergency Center, Internal Medicine, General Surgery, Oncology, Neurosurgery, Intensive Care, Cardiology, Urology, Obstetrics and Gynecology. 566 specialists serve more than 100,000 patients each year. Nearly 14,000 surgical procedures are conducted in 7 operation rooms, and nearly 400 babies are born at Clinique de La Source.
