They see it playing a fundamental role in helping them to become more collaborative, data driven, and patient and family-centered. In particular, cloud computing is helping healthcare organizations to achieved rapid innovation of novel products and services; improve and re-engineer their business processes and workflows as well as increasing engagement and collaboration internally and across the healthcare ecosystem. And they are already seeing significant benefits in terms of improving patient outcomes through diagnosis and monitoring; innovating service delivery; and reducing costs and improving value. However, adoption of cloud in the healthcare industry to date has been slow due to security and regulatory concerns but these issues are addressable. IBM believe a structured well thought-out cloud strategy that clearly links business strategy to cloud’s potential is the key to successful adoption of cloud in healthcare.
