I\u2019m excited to attend the upcoming HIMSS conference and exhibition<\/a> in Orlando, Florida. Last year was the first year I attended the annual event and I was blown away by the broad level of participation among our customers and partners and the wide array of health IT solutions that were exhibited.<\/p>\n

One thing that really stands out to me about the health industry is how collaborative it is. And HIMSS is a great representation of that collaboration. From caregivers to technology providers, all these people come together to engage in exploratory conversations about how to achieve the triple aim: providing better care to more people at lower costs.<\/p>\n

This is an industry that loves to share. Unlike in many other industries, when a health organization innovates, they don\u2019t hide it from competitors. They\u2019re not innovating for competitive advantage, they\u2019ve innovating for the greater good.<\/p>\n

When they develop a solution that\u2019s succeeding in helping to improve patients\u2019 health, they want to share it with others. And now with technologies such as the cloud, they\u2019re able to collaborate and scale best practices in ways never before possible.<\/p>\n

A great example is the CHAMP app at Children\u2019s Mercy hospital. As nurse Lori Erickson writes in her blog<\/a>, since they started using their home-monitoring app<\/a> in March of 2014, none of the babies with single ventricle (SV) heart disease in their Cardiac High Acuity Monitoring Program (CHAMP)<\/a> has died at home during the high-risk period between their first and second surgeries. Children\u2019s Mercy is sharing the platform with other hospitals. And they\u2019re looking at how the solution can be applied to improve outcomes for other patient populations.<\/p>\n

This kind of innovating and sharing for the greater good supported by transformative technologies such as the cloud is what\u2019s helping to drive the evolution of healthcare. Health organizations can use state-of-the art, intelligent computing power to further their initiatives\u2014without having to build up their own datacenter. They can just pay for the cloud services they need\u2014scaling up or down as needed.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s exciting to see how our customers are digitally transforming with the intelligence and power of the Microsoft Cloud so they can better engage their patients, empower their care teams, optimize their clinical and operational effectiveness, and transform the care continuum. You can see many examples for yourself at HIMSS17.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also learn why our customers put their trust in the Microsoft Cloud<\/a>. Because in order for transformative technology to achieve its potential for empowering better health for all, people need to be able to trust it.<\/p>\n

At HIMSS17, I look forward to all the conversations about the art of the possible. How can we work together to shift the health system from a reactive approach focused on treating disease to a proactive approach focused on prevention and keeping people well?<\/p>\n

Toward that end, we want to hear your stories. What do you need from technology to help you further the triple aim of increasing care access and quality, while reducing costs? Come by our booth at HIMSS to tell us or share via email<\/a>, Facebook<\/a>, or Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

See you in Orlando! And in the meantime, you can learn more about what we and our partners are doing at HIMSS on our event page<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
