Next-Generation Enterprise Imaging:
Cloud Solutions for Peak Efficiency
A blueprint for cloud imaging strategies: Scaling up Imaging Health Networks (IHN™), enhancing EHR value, boosting clinician satisfaction and fortifying IT infrastructure
Amid some initial hesitancy, U.S. healthcare organizations (HCOs) are now making a definitive pivot towards embracing cloud technology, indicating a major leap in their digital transformation journey and aligning closer with other data-intensive industries.
This shift is illuminated by recent research from HIMSS Market Insights, showing that an impressive 97% of HCOs have now incorporated cloud technologies into their administrative frameworks.
However, 67% acknowledge they are not maximizing these technologies for clinical, operational and business goals. Despite this, 52% plan to adopt cloud technologies for new applications, and 48% believe this will enhance patient care and quality outcomes.1
AGFA HealthCare joined forces with HIMSS to create this insightful White Paper that introduces the benefits of cloud-based EI for healthcare organizations and discusses how to find the right Cloud Enterprise Imaging partner.
In this white paper, co-produced by HIMSS, you will learn about:
- Five reasons to consider cloud-based Enterprise Imaging deployment
- Assessing the organization’s challenges, needs and requirements
- How to finding the right partner
- Tips to help ensure a smooth deployment and widespread adoption
Organizations should have the flexibility to selectively adopt cloud, hybrid or onpremises solutions that best align with their goals and state of readiness.”
