Health Care
Leading health care institutions, such as Kaiser Permanente, have turned to the Google Search Appliance to provide instant, secure access to all enterprise information. The Google Search Appliance is an integrated hardware and software product that uses Google's powerful search engine technology to bring universal search to your business.


How you'll benefit
  • Simplify information access for clinicians - Doctors, nurses and other clinicians often need access to information even as they're seeing patients - whether it's the patient's medical records, treatment information, or drug side effects. With Google search technology, you can provide this to your clinicians.

  • Reduce billing costs - Billing costs often represent 10-15% of gross claims at health care organizations. By leveraging Google search technology, your billers can instantly access clinical and financial systems to do their jobs faster, ultimately saving time and impacting the bottom line.

  • Enhance visibility for management - Instead of inundating management with a plethora of systems that inhibit visibility, provide your management with Google search technology that can access all of the relevant information to manage effectively.

Customer Impact

"The time to return results is phenomenal. I laugh when I see "0.1 second" on the screen to retrieve search results. We went from almost no searching to a great search tool in just three days."

- Nathan Ahlstrom Principal IT Technologist, Medtronic


"With the Google Search Appliance, we have been able to discontinue paper policies and procedures altogether. It's a big administrative win."

- Sunnybrook


Sunnybrook - At Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, one of Canada's premier health science centers, 10,000 staff, physicians, volunteers and students work to improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people every year. The Google Search Appliance has helped revolutionize data access within Sunnybrook. Clinicians – using PCs, laptops, tablets and PDAs – access everything from patient demographic information to clinical checklists and guidelines detailing patient conditions and recommended treatments. And administrators rely on the Intranet to find policies and procedures as well as thousands of PDF and Microsoft Office documents housed in more than 100 Microsoft SharePoint repositories.
