The first HIMSS study on public cloud use in Germany’s hospitals shows a high deployment level of cloud computing. On average, respondents rate public cloud solutions as more advantageous than on-premise solutions, however, they also express concerns with regard to data protection and compliance. 

One of the largest university hospitals in Europe is turbo-charging its use of apps and online consultations to support patients during this crisis. Interoperability is clearly the key, as digitised processes are paying off.

Henning Schneider, CIO, Asklepios Kliniken, Germany, and vice-chair board of directors at HIMSS, compares COVID-19 to recent epidemics and explains how priorities of the IT department have shifted in view of the current contagion, during the latest Talking Points webinar, organised by the HIMSS D-A-CH Community.
