In the scenario where the end customer does not wish to continue with a subsequent service agreement with Inhealthcare, a copy of the data will be transferred to the end customer. Once this has been received Inhealthcare will delete the data from its platform.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Inhealthcare's service level agreement is 99.9% availability of the core system. The Core System is Inhealthcare’s server infrastructure and installed software located in Inhealthcare’s secure data centre.

Core System Availability is measured across a calendar month. 99.9% availability is, therefore, equivalent to no more than 44 minutes of system unavailability per month (rounded to the nearest minute) based on a calendar average of 43,800 minutes per month.

Core System Unavailability is identified by proactive fault detection by the Inhealthcare service management centre or when Inhealthcare acknowledges the Customer’s reported fault.

Inhealthcare shall pay to the company service credits where Core System Availability is less than 99.9% availability.

One service credit will be equal to one day’s Service Charges based on the average daily charge of the previous month’s total Service Charges invoiced.

Core System Availability >Service Credits Payable
- ≥99.9% to 100.0%(maximum of 44 minutes)>0
- >99.0% to <99.9% (maximum of 7 hours 18 minutes)>1
- >98.0% to ≤99.0% (maximum 14 hours 36 minutes)>5
- >97.0% to ≤98.0% (maximum 21 hours 54 minutes)>10
- >96.0% to ≤97.0% (maximum 29 hours 12 minutes)>15
- >95.0% to ≤96.0% (maximum 36 hours 30 minutes)>20
- Less than 95.0% (> 36 hours 30 minutes)>30
Approach to resilience
The Inhealthcare system is operated across 2 hardware platforms configured as a high-availability cluster, and we run VSphere across the top of these systems. Where possible we operate all hardware components as minimum of N+1 – multiple network feeds, A+B power feeds, redundant PSU/memory/CPU, etc. The power to the data centre also has UPS backup and diesel generators so can withstand prolonged mains grid failure without interruption to service.
Outage reporting
As part of its ISO 27001 accreditation Inhealthcare has fully documented and well rehersed business continuity and major incident policies.

In the unlikely event that a major incident is invoked an incident manager will be responsible for managing all external communication with customers. Inhealthcare as part of its existing ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 accreditations has a major incident policy which details the processes to be followed in the event of a major incident.

As part of the contract with the customer Inhealthcare will appointment a customer account manager who will be the central point of contact between Inhealthcare and the customer and will ensure that both parties confirm to their respective major incident policies.
