Many cloud benefits are obvious

Faster

implementations

Better usability and

capabilities

(consumer friendly)

Easier to pilot and

then scale to more

users

Reduced capital

expenditures

Fewer IT resources

required to

manage solutions

HCPs = healthcare providers


The most important benefit of the cloud is that it

allows point of care clinical users to accomplish tasks

that they can’t perform with legacy solutions.

Case study: Reduce heart failure readmissions

Allocating scarce resources in real-time to reduce heart failure readmissions: a prospective, controlled studyhttp://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/2013/07/31/bmjqs-2013-001901.full

“This study provides preliminary evidence that technology platforms that allow for automated EMR data extraction, case identification and risk stratification may help potentiate the effect of known readmission reduction strategies, in particular those that emphasize intensive and early post-discharge outpatient contact.”

The most important benefit of the cloud is that it

allows point of care clinical users to accomplish tasks

that they can’t perform with legacy solutions just

weren’t possible before.

Without asking for permission for every experiment.

Clinical tech users are resourceful

Clinical professionals that are

counted on to save lives do

not always wait around for

solutions, they create them.

The cloud can empower them.

Shadow IT is prevalent & growing• When they only had

access to MS Office, “Shadow EHRs” were created using Word, Excel, and Access.

• In the cloud era, they pick consumer-grade and least-secure options when you don’t give them reasonably secure options instead.

Cloud enables healthcare to be agile

Improve speed of

response to new

patient/HCP needs

Reduce permission-

oriented culture

React faster to

regulatory and

market changes

Reduce number of

Shadow IT systems

Reduce

compliance-focus

in favor of customer

focus

Most important cloud considerations

• Business-grade functionality with

• Consumer-grade ease of use

• Auditable with easy to use notifications (reduce permissions requirement)

• Workflow-independent

• Platform-independent

• Device-independent


Your cloud strategy is successful when its

activities are pragmatic, fit for purpose, and

almost as useful to HCPs and patients as their

consumer-grade tools.

You’ve failed if you haven’t created a framework

for rapid and adaptable clinical decision support

and medical records accessibility.
