Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare forms on Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and the Power Platform and is meant to work with both unstructured and structured health data.
In May, Microsoft first declared the Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare at build 2020. And now on October 28 Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare ‘vertical cloud’ is generally available. Microsoft’s latest healthcare solution bundles collectively Azure, Microsoft 365, Dynamics 365, and Power Platform elements.
Microsoft officials stated that Microsoft’s healthcare solution makes it more agile and more apparent to give more effective care and encourages customers’ support end-to-end security, compliance, and interoperability of the health data. The contribution serves with both unstructured and structured data and gives clients choices for everything from AI health bots to carrying virtual visits. It further is intended to help patients reach secure medical portals and mobile tools for communicating with health teams and their individual health data.
Microsoft Cloud additionally allows access to and exchange and utilize the electronic health records of the patients, healthcare providers, and health plans. Microsoft is looking to ISV (Independent software vendor) and system integrators partners to integrate with and build on top of its cloud solution ‘Vertical Cloud’.
It’s not shocking, provided the prevailing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, that Microsoft has decided to target healthcare as its first industry-cloud vertical. Microsoft officials stated at the start of this year they’d be launching other vertical cloud solutions at some point but have not given additional details as to which markets might be next.
Microsoft got its initial foray into healthcare over a decade ago but ended up curtailing and selling off most of the health assets it formerly acquired. Several years ago, Microsoft declared it was planning to build a new healthcare-concentric research unit, Healthcare NExT.
