IT HAS NEW OBJECTIVES WITHIN AN ORGANIZATIONAL STRATEGY
- Reduce TCO: Lower the cost of IT, both initial investments and ongoing cost of operations, in order to fund clinical initiatives.
- Enable Innovation: Prepare for the on-demand, data-driven market that’s now emerging. Support enhanced care by enabling mobility and streamlining delivery – and meet growing demand for new services.
- Improve Clinician Experience: Adapt to the effect of EHR on workflows while simultaneously restoring productivity and reinventing collaboration.
- Manage Risk: To balance high clinical risks in the business, IT risk needs to be reduced, and IT investments need to be mindful of their impact on the overall portfolio.
PROVIDERS NEED MORE THAN JUST APPS
Provider organizations preparing to move forward with network-based care initiatives should be building a platform for integrated care – one that enables high-performance workflows, clinical apps, analytics, and mobile tools that improve the quality of care while making providers more productive – with flexible, agile technology strategies that align current regulatory and business needs with preparation for the future.
AN UNCERTAIN FUTURE DEMANDS AGILE IT
As healthcare reform proceeds, many more industry changes are still to come. Provider organizations must find ways to improve outcomes and access while reducing costs. Integrated and network-based care will require data sharing across the health system and among caregivers in the community, who will need secure, high-performance access to clinical and administrative systems, analytics, and other tools.

PATIENTS ARE DEMANDING
That healthcare providers use technology, not only to deliver and document care, but to interact and collaborate on treatment decisions.
THE PATIENT IS AT THE HEART OF THE MATTER
Increasingly, patients want more personalized and customized care options, and more visibility into cost and outcomes that can be incorporated into decision-making. New mobile and wearable devices are creating data, and users are demanding analytics that make use of this data, at a pace never seen before. Both patients and providers want userfriendly, consumer-grade apps to participate in care planning and delivery and to improve patient experience.
In order for these capabilities to come together, provider organizations need to move beyond EHR to create clinical platforms that take the best of EHR and combine it with new data and functionality running on high-performance infrastructure that delivers new workflows, tools, and analytics in a simple, agile, and elegant user interface.
