Clarity ASP: Added flexibility. Spheris security.

Clarity is deployed in an application service provider (ASP) model, running from servers in our secure data center. When used as a technology-only solution, it gives you the flexibility to use the platform on a pay-as-you-go subscription basis. This is a great benefit for departments with smaller IT staffs.

Most of our 500 + clients depend on Spheris product experts to host our technology for them in our highly secure and reliable data center. Our ASP customers leverage all the capabilities of our enterprise system, along with these added benefits:

  • Spheris provides all system infrastructure, support and maintenance.
  • 24/7/365 system availability is ensured.
  • System architecture supports full system redundancy and failover.*
  • Spheris support team regularly updates Clarity ASP with the latest software release so product upgrades are automatic.

Clarity ASP is deployed in a manner designed to be transparent to end-users.

  • Physicians dictate by dialing into a Spheris-hosted phone number, or uploading dictations using our Clarity Care solution.
  • Physicians eSign transcribed reports via Clarity Care.
  • Medical Language Specialists and supervisors connect to Clarity via the Web and complete all work remotely.
  • Clarity ASP automatically distributes completed reports across your hospital or health system.
  • Enterprise and compliance reports are accessible via the Web.
  • System access is controlled by role-based authentication.
  • For further security, all data communication is encrypted using 128-bit SSL encryption.

ASP Advantages:

  • Reduce upfront costs with a pay-as-you-go pricing model.
  • Eliminate capital costs.
  • Reduce IT support requirements.
  • Expedite system implementation timeframe.
  • Eliminate maintenance fees.

*Failover is an important fault tolerance function of mission-critical systems that rely on constant accessibility. Failover automatically (and transparently to the user) redirects requests from the failed or down system to the backup system that mimics the operations of the primary system.
