Amazon Web Services Features Angel MedFlight in Partner Story

SCOTTSDALE, Arizona – Sept. 17, 2018. The highlights how Angel MedFlight’s development team created an iPad medical charting application, MedLog2, and soon saw a need to explore and expand storage solutions for its digital content. After not finding a canned solution, the team opted to build their own solution and integrate Salesforce and Amazon Web Services.

After exploring different options, the team chose to build an application within Salesforce to directly integrate to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for digital content storage due to its strong security posture and the ability to architect for HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) compliance on the platform. By building a custom application on Salesforce to integrate directly to Amazon S3 for storage, Angel MedFlight’s IT team kept a consistent end-user experience in place.

Angel MedFlight’s custom application directly integrates with Amazon S3 via an API and pulls all uploaded data immediately into AWS. Employees can edit, replace, or delete attachments and records depending on their role and permissions. These enhancements allow clinicians in the field to better utilize technology and improve the patient experience all while at 40,000 feet in the air.

“Angel MedFlight has always used technology to aid in our delivery of best-in-class patient care. Technology has and continues to be a catalyst for advancement as we navigate an ever-changing healthcare industry,” said Kim Halloran, Angel MedFlight’s Vice President of Business Development.
