Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions Load Balancing with Progress Kemp LoadMaster
Get Reliable Access to Critical Imaging and Radiology Workflows.
Healthcare organizations depend on Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions to support diagnostic imaging, radiology reporting and clinical collaboration across hospitals, imaging centers and distributed healthcare networks. The Progress® Kemp® LoadMaster® load balancing solution provides enterprise-grade application delivery for Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions, helping healthcare organizations improve performance, strengthen resilience and support business continuity while reducing the cost and complexity traditionally associated with legacy ADC solutions.
Why Load Balancing Matters for Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions
Radiology Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) environments process large imaging studies, support thousands of user transactions and often connect multiple facilities, remote readers and clinical systems. As imaging volumes grow and healthcare organizations expand, application infrastructure must scale while maintaining consistent performance and availability.
How Can the LoadMaster Solution Help?
The Progress Kemp LoadMaster solution helps healthcare organizations:
Improve Application Availability
Reduce single points of failure and automatically direct users to healthy PACS resources.
Accelerate Image and Data Access
Support faster access to critical images and data through intelligent traffic distribution that prevents server overload and reduces application response times.
Support Business Continuity
Maintain access to imaging services during server failures or planned maintenance events with robust high-availability configurations.
Scale Imaging Services Efficiently
Add servers and resources easily as workloads increase.
Enhance the User Experience
Help radiologists, clinicians and healthcare staff access imaging applications across hospitals, clinics and remote locations.
Enable Secure Remote Access
Enable access for distributed healthcare teams and teleradiology workflows.
Key Capabilities of the LoadMaster Solution for Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions
High Availability for Mission-Critical Radiology PACS
Help maintain access to imaging and reporting applications while the LoadMaster solution continuously monitors application health and automatically redirects traffic away from failed or unavailable resources.
Faster Performance for Imaging Workflows
Access image views, reports, image exchanges and critical workflows faster while the LoadMaster solution distributes user requests across multiple application servers, helping prevent bottlenecks during periods of high demand.
Seamless Scalability
Add new PACS resources easily while maintaining efficient workload distribution. The LoadMaster solution distributes traffic across configured resources, helping organizations use available capacity more efficiently.
Multi-Site and Remote Access
Support radiologists and healthcare providers working across hospitals, imaging centers, outpatient facilities and remote locations. The LoadMaster load balancer helps optimize PACS application delivery while maintaining reliable access regardless of user location.
Improved Security
Help healthcare organizations strengthen application security and support compliance initiatives with SSL/TLS offloading, Web Application Firewall capabilities, authentication integration and application-layer traffic inspection
Operational Simplicity
Reduce administrative overhead with centralized management and a straightforward deployment experience, without the specialized expertise often associated with traditional ADC platforms.
Site Resilience and Disaster Recovery
LoadMaster Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) strengthens disaster recovery strategies for PACS by directing users to the healthiest available application site. When configured across sites, the GSLB capability can redirect traffic to an alternate site during an outage, helping maintain access to critical radiology services and minimizing disruption to patient care.

How does the LoadMaster solution improve application availability?
LoadMaster load balancer continuously performs health checks on application servers and services. If a server becomes unavailable or experiences performance issues, traffic is automatically redirected to healthy resources, helping minimize disruptions to radiologists and clinicians.
Why should I use the Progress Kemp LoadMaster solution with Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions?
The Progress Kemp LoadMaster solution helps provide consistent availability and performance for radiology applications by intelligently distributing traffic across multiple servers and resources. This helps healthcare organizations reduce downtime, improve user experiences, and maintain efficient clinical workflows.
Can the LoadMaster solution improve performance for imaging and reporting applications?
Yes. The LoadMaster solution balances workloads across multiple application servers, preventing any single system from becoming overloaded. Features such as Layer 7 load balancing, content switching and SSL offloading help optimize application responsiveness and improve overall user experience.
Does the LoadMaster solution support disaster recovery for radiology environments?
Yes. LoadMaster Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) can distribute traffic across geographically dispersed sites and automatically fail over users to alternate locations during outages. This helps healthcare organizations maintain continuity of radiology operations and patient care.
How does the LoadMaster load balancer help secure Change Healthcare Radiology Solutions?
The LoadMaster solution provides multiple security capabilities, including SSL/TLS encryption, Web Application Firewall (WAF) protection, access control integration and application-layer security features. These capabilities help healthcare organizations protect sensitive healthcare data and support regulatory compliance requirements.
