See how cloud and AI health are transforming care at HIMSS18

Focus on: Digital Transformation

Cloud computing and emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are rapidly revolutionizing care. Growth in the AI health market is expected to reach $6.6 billion by 2021[1], while global adoption for cloud services in healthcare will grow to nearly $9.5 billion by 2020.[2] Microsoft and its partners deliver cloud and AI solutions that enable health organizations to make the most of this massive opportunity.

At this year’s HIMSS conference, the industry leading health technology event March 5th – 9th in Las Vegas, Microsoft will bring some of the best minds in the healthcare industry to showcase how cloud and AI are empowering digital transformation and enabling intelligent health.

Transforming care with cloud and AI

Microsoft’s intelligent services and trusted platform for partner solutions are enabling health organizations to transform care in the face of increasing cost pressures. From enabling deeper engagement between patients and care providers, to empowering care teams to make smarter, faster, life-saving decisions with analytics, Microsoft’s intelligent health solutions are optimizing clinical and operational effectiveness and unleashing innovation to improve care.

Put the patient in control with the intelligent cloud

Microsoft technology enables health organizations to take a proactive approach to patient engagement, helping organizations develop pervasive relationships while giving patients self-service access and more power to manage their health. The Microsoft cloud empowers patients with a 360-degree view of their wellness and health data while enabling providers to use proactive reminders and tailored coaching to help patients stay true to care plans and achieve their health goals –  leading to stronger patient-provider relationships and reduced admissions and readmissions.

Share deeper patient insights across the care continuum

The Microsoft cloud enables multiple health providers to aggregate patient data from across care settings to create a complete view of the patient. Armed with a single source of patient truth that is updated in real time, dispersed care team members are empowered to deliver efficient, coordinated care. Plus, artificial intelligence and advanced analytics applications accelerate care provider decision-making, with risk assessments and recommendations available in real time. Together, Microsoft cloud and AI health capabilities enable care providers to work ahead of patient needs by predicting issues before they occur – enhancing the speed of effective care and saving lives.

Use AI to find patterns and improve outcomes

Microsoft’s advanced analytics and AI health technologies not only help individual caregivers accelerate their decision making and improve outcomes they also enable massive care organizations to optimize clinical and operational effectiveness. Driving care decisions with data minimizes best-guess and gut-instinct solutions, reduces waste and inefficiency, and enables organizations to take digital patient information and surface effective care patterns.  With the Microsoft cloud and intelligence services, organizations can shift from reactive triage to proactive treatment – predicting community health trends, empowering effective outreach, and enabling staff to be more productive.

Tailor treatments with remote monitoring and intelligent cloud

With the Microsoft cloud and advanced analytics, the personalization and transformation of care has never been easier. By connecting patients and health organizations through intelligent communications and channels like ChatBots, more of a focus is put on the problems patients face and the effectiveness of the treatments they receive. Data from wearable health devices empowers organizations with valuable new insights that drive improved patient outcomes, more comprehensive care plans, and better, more effective treatments. Plus, with advancements in machine learning and big data, Microsoft helps providers analyze individual patients’ genetics to enable tailored treatments that provide patients with the most effective results.

See Microsoft’s vision for intelligent health in action

Partners and healthcare organizations are already leveraging Microsoft’s cloud and AI technologies to implement intelligent health – and at HIMSS18, attendees can see the transformation of care for themselves. AiR Healthcare, an international care provider will demonstrate how they have used cloud-based population health management to expand to a new care model. Rush University Medical Center, named a top U.S. hospital by U.S. News & World Report, will share how they are applying AI to drive improvement in ROI and clinical outcomes through prediction. Jaclyn Wainwright, CEO of AiR, and Dr. Shafiq Rab, Senior Vice President and CIO at Rush University Medical Center, will speak at this session moderated by Alysa Taylor, General Manager for Business Applications and Industry at Microsoft. The session will explain how the cloud and AI help organizations increase the quality of care and enable deeper patient engagement and will include real-life case studies on how digital transformation has avoided crises, lowered costs and improved health outcomes – providing actionable advice that any organization can use to start transforming care today.
