All healthcare stakeholders need access to integrated patient data to enable better care. Current hospital-centric systems are struggling to effectively and affordably manage rising chronic diseases and aging populations. Healthcare systems must adapt to become more patient-centric and integrated to improve quality of care and outcomes. IT budgets prioritize maintenance and compliance over innovation, making transformation challenging.

1. Enabling Integrated Care
All stakeholders need to have secure access and manage patient data
independently from the organizations and applications that generated them.
Ensure integrated and secure
access to patient data, even more
relevant than data privacy or
cost reduction.
Cloud adoption is being driven by flexibility and
scalability rather than cost reduction. Big Data once
driven by high volume, is now being driven by the variety
of content and velocity.
IT budgets are locked for maintenance and compliance
in mature as well as emerging countries, leaving little
room for innovation.Challenged by the increase of chronic diseases and aging populations, current
hospital-centric systems can no longer sustain effective, affordable care.
