<\/a><\/td>\nFocus on: Microsoft in Health Digital Transformation<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

We\u2019re living in an era of constant reinvention. Industry disruption is now the norm, changing how we work and interact with each other. The healthcare industry is no exception \u2013 digital transformation has changed how providers care for patients, how individuals seek care, and how health data is stored and shared. This type of digital change can bring tremendous opportunities. New forms of technology, including artificial intelligence, strengthen patient engagement, empower care teams with better information, all while reducing costs through intelligent health processes.<\/p>\n

During HIMSS 2018<\/a>, the industry-leading event for healthcare professionals, Microsoft is bringing together healthcare partners from around the world to demonstrate the types of advances that are empowering the digital transformation of the health industry. One exciting Internet of Things (IoT) example is our work with Becton Dickinson and Company<\/a> (BD) to bring about connected health, enabling devices to automatically connect and share health data.<\/p>\n

Since a big hurdle in the healthcare technology space is the inherent inefficiency in sharing and storing data to drive health decisions, BD wanted to create a platform that would organize and streamline the overwhelming amount of patient data. \u00a0Microsoft Enterprise Services<\/a> partnered with BD to define and deploy an Azure cloud solution that, through efficient computation and inexpensive storage capabilities, also captured data via devices connected to the Azure cloud.\u00a0 While personal data is removed, aggregate data can be used to inform population-based health decisions.\u00a0 The result is not only smart data at a healthcare provider\u2019s fingertips, but less complex infrastructure for BD and healthcare organizations like it.\u00a0 Ultimately, patients receive improved care.<\/p>\n

In another instance, Belfast Health and Social Care Trust<\/a>, the UK\u2019s largest integrated health and social care provider, faced the increasing challenge of\u00a0placing vulnerable, often elderly, patients into residential and nursing homes. Their existing operations relied on mostly manual research with limited visibility of available beds and little capability to share information and collaborate easily. They needed a stronger technology solution to streamline and organize their operations. Microsoft Enterprise Services worked with the Trust to create an Azure<\/a>-based, web-based \u201cCare Home Portal\u201d solution that aligned to the Trust\u2019s wider digital transformation effort. Using the power of data management, the new portal transformed a previously time-consuming and overly manual operation by enabling Care Home staff to proactively \u201cself-declare\u201d their available beds. Employees can now easily see where beds are available, so that patients, families and caregivers can more quickly identify the right location and facility.<\/p>\n

At Microsoft, we recognize how technology can help the healthcare industry evolve to better meet society\u2019s needs. Healthcare digital transformation means ensuring patients have access to the right kind of care and providers are empowered with the resourceful, responsive tools, while respecting customer privacy and meeting security expectations. Ultimately, through the promise of the intelligent cloud, we can overcome the current gap in healthcare access that is preventing many around the world from receiving proper care.<\/p>\n

To best help clinicians and care teams better manage the explosion of healthcare related data, Microsoft is focusing on three areas: developing foundations for precision health care, enabling the health industry\u2019s move to the cloud, and empowering the people that make healthcare work. You can read more<\/a> about a number of specific solutions, projects and AI accelerators Microsoft recently announced.\u00a0 It is these advancements that will help to make intelligent health possible.\u00a0 Be sure to follow our HIMSS18 story on\u00a0@Health_IT<\/a>\u00a0to learn more.<\/p>\n
