Cloud Computing

The COVID-19 crisis has put new pressure on health IT infrastructures that were already straining to accommodate an explosion of data. Watch this webinar to learn how technology can meet the security and performance challenges of telehealth, smart devices and other next-generation healthcare tools.

Most providers have completed the initial steps of their cloud journey. Their cloud experience is transitioning from cloud adoption into a complete transformation of their technology and related processes. Providers are now moving to a cloud-first strategy, one where data centers will reside entirely on some form of the cloud. As a result, timelines are accelerating and many providers expect to be completely cloud-first in the next 12-24 months. Join this webinar and learn the latest findings from the third annual HIMSS survey of cloud usage among providers.

The weaknesses highlighted by the FDA in Urgent/11 demonstrate there are susceptibilities within software platforms that are both identifiable and resolvable.

The cloud is coming to enterprise imaging. How and when it does are core components of any long-term plan. What components can be shifted to the cloud now? What portions will need to wait? How do you evaluate your technology partner’s solutions, and do they meet your needs every step of the way?

As a trusted leader in healthcare, committed to bringing together the latest technologies and innovative procedures to provide the best possible care for their patients, Franciscan Health approaches their patient-first network design by developing strong partnerships with their care providers and technology vendors.

Cybersecurity in healthcare is about people, not technology. In the cloud era, keeping your patients safe means protecting clinicians and patients from cloud threats and data loss. A people-centric approach to security helps you identify people and data at-risk and provide the tools needed to stay alert and keep users and their sensitive data safe. A unified data loss prevention (DLP) platform can get you the visibility needed to discover and stop ex-filtration of sensitive data (PII, PHI and more) housed in cloud apps, email and on-premises file shares. So what does a people-centric strategy look like for your healthcare cloud security?

With cloud migrations, proper planning, oversight and management go a long way, says Penn Medicine's Associate Vice-President of Information Services Jim Beinlich –  just like they do with any successful technology pilot or rollout. 

For healthcare organizations, overcoming challenges around clinical gaps in care, interoperability, data security and regulatory compliance are critical to success. Healthcare technology leaders need to leverage cloud-based solutions to create a unified data ecosystem and develop a well-defined data governance process, in order to make accurate decisions and enhance performance. However, building such solutions has its own set of technology, operational and economic challenges.

HITRUST certification has become critical for healthcare partners in order to manage HIPAA security and compliance requirements. In this webinar, Cloudticity CEO Gerry Miller will explore the benefits of HITRUST and how the cloud can reduce the cost, complexity, and timeline of certification. His guest will be Mike Parisi, Vice President of Assurance Strategy and Community Development at HITRUST, who will provide expertise and insight into the HITRUST CSF.
