U.S. health organizations embracing the cloud
Check out the interactive health cloud map of the U.S. »
In the rapidly evolving health industry, technology is playing a larger role than ever. And as health organizations are looking to modernize operations, they also must put their efforts toward reducing costs and improving productivity – and, of course, complying with federal regulations and protecting organizational data and patient privacy.
This growing demand for innovative solutions has, in turn, caused health organizations to re-evaluate their technology strategy. These companies are looking to streamline processes and enhance collaboration, and they want solutions that are easy to use and compatible with current systems. In addition, solutions need strong controls in place to protect organizational data and patient privacy and ensure personal details are sufficiently safeguarded.
As a result, more and more health organizations are turning to the cloud, particularly the Microsoft cloud. In fact, more than 25,000 U.S. health organizations currently take advantage of Microsoft’s cloud solutions. In an interactive health cloud map of the U.S., you can see how different types of health organizations are using Microsoft’s cloud solutions to help them transform business operations and address challenges in data security, privacy and compliance. The health cloud map offers a state-by-state overview of health customers that have turned to Microsoft’s cloud services, including Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Azure and Microsoft Dynamics.
Office 365 simplifies collaboration and helps health organizations of any size increase productivity by empowering care teams with fast, easy ways to communicate with each other and their patients. Microsoft Azure allows health organizations to retain control of their sensitive data at all times. When it comes to the health cloud, Microsoft offers the only complete hybrid cloud platform, allowing customers to seamlessly integrate their on premises and cloud workloads. With Microsoft Dynamics, organizations can manage caseloads, monitor delivery of care and track outcomes – in the office or in the field – and then glean actionable insights from the vast amount of data in the health industry and beyond. Microsoft Dynamics also provides multiple channels for patients to interact with health organizations while safeguarding patient and organizational data.
