For over 20 years, the government and the healthcare industry have been trying to figure out how to make EHRs a meaningful tool that benefits providers and patients. But healthcare organizations typically face numerous obstacles to achieving that end. Recently, Healthcare Triangle partnered with CHIME to hold a focus group of healthcare CIOs to identify the most common roadblocks they face in optimizing their EHR.
Six out of 10 healthcare organizations are adopting a hybrid approach to cloud adoption, a recent CHIME survey of healthcare IT executives found, while 10% rely on public cloud services and 11% use a private-cloud approach. Yet 47% say it’s too early to tell whether their investment is providing value—a finding that could point to the value of a managed services approach.
Pharma and life sciences companies are placing big bets on digital innovation. Research by Gartner shows 85% to 90% of these companies expect digital transformation to advance performance, while 75% design digital technology platform teams with revenue-generating programs in mind.
The business case for moving healthcare operations to the cloud is compelling. As artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotic process automation, and other innovations take hold in healthcare, the cloud offers virtually unlimited capacity to leverage these resource-intensive applications.
More than 60% of healthcare IT leaders say a key part of their organization’s digital transformation consists of transitioning their business operations to the cloud, according to a recent survey by Healthcare Triangle (HCTI).
In October 2021, a ransomware attack compromised the insurance, diagnosis, treatment and other protected health information (PHI) of some 400,000 patients of a women’s health clinic in Los Angeles. The same month, hackers broke into the computer systems of a Florida-based healthcare network, compromising the PHI of some 1.3 million members.
According to a recent Healthcare Triangle survey, two out of three healthcare executives strive to digitally transform their healthcare organization primarily to improve the patient experience. Unfortunately, according to the same survey, some two-thirds of respondents who say they have a documented strategy for digital transformation believe they don’t have enough resources to implement it. The biggest obstacles: lack of staff resources (49%) and cost (about 25%).
Healthcare organizations strive to provide safe, secure environments for their patients and staff. It is also of paramount importance that healthcare data remains private and protected from unauthorized access and data breaches. To achieve these goals in an increasingly digital world, there has been a turn to security certifications such as HITRUST certification.
