Case Study: FDNY improves secure real-time health data access with Optima Global Solutions

FDNY - Customer Case Study

The Fire Department of New York (FDNY) Bureau of Health Services faced a challenge with its critical counseling and medical monitoring systems, which were fragmented across numerous outdated MS Access databases. This disparate architecture hindered real-time data access and created inefficiencies for medical staff. To address this, FDNY engaged Optima Global Solutions to modernize its IT infrastructure.

Optima Global Solutions re-engineered and consolidated the 15 separate databases into a centralized, secure Oracle system. They replaced the front-end applications with a modern web-oriented architecture, enabling authorized users to access the system in real-time via VPN. This solution streamlined data management for both the counseling services and the long-term World Trade Center medical monitoring program, allowing for more accurate and efficient diagnosis and care for firefighters, EMS personnel, and civilians.
