Healthcare leaders are in the midst of multiple and diverse challenges from massive technology changes to the unprecedented upheavals of COVID-19 to intense scrutiny over data security and compliance.

As a result, they are under immense pressure to accelerate the pace of digital transformation to meet the demands of:

• Explosion in numbers of medical devices, data points, and traffic
• Massive digitization of health records (Electronic Health Records [EHR])
• Pandemic-driven mainstreaming of telemedicine, including remote connectivity and collaboration for virtual home visits, pop-up clinics, and vaccine rollouts.
• HIPAA compliance regulations governing security requirements for this healthcare information.

IT leaders in the field must simultaneously navigate decision-making that will deliver the greatest returns on digital transformation while improving patient experience to power the next generation of care.
