Exploring IT Partnerships and Deliver Breakthrough Clinical Solutions

[Nabanita1]

Digital health is the convergence of the digital and genomic revolutions with healthcare, living, and society. Equipped with digitally enabled clinical tools, doctors are gaining unprecedented insights into the health of their patients, driving improved outcomes in areas of major medical need. This trend is set to continue, with rising computing power, access to health data, and use of Internet of Things (IoT) devices opening new opportunities to improve care.

Information technology is revolutionizing patient experience, reducing waiting, and improving health outcomes by entrusting individuals to manage their health. Breakthroughs in fields as diverse as cardiac imaging, patient monitoring, and emergency-room diagnoses rely on IT to gather, process, and analyze data. Whenever an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) designs a medical technology that enables physicians to see inside patients with unprecedented clarity or track their health status remotely around the clock, computing infrastructure plays a major role.

The trends have now matured to the point that computing is essential to each step in the patient journey. From when a patient visits a healthcare professional to after they return home, they interact with IT-enabled clinical tools designed by OEMs to optimize health outcomes.

OEMs manage the IT infrastructure layer by investing in in-house capabilities. An OEM would need to invest heavily to achieve the level of IT expertise involved in the delivery of medical technologies. It is questionable whether a company could ever achieve a return on such an investment. Rather than establish deep internal IT capabilities, an OEM could partner with a specialist provider of computing infrastructure and services.

To succeed, OEMs must manage this challenge effectively. For many leading companies, the answer is to partner with an IT provider with a deep understanding of healthcare and a lengthy track record of success in the field. In the heavily regulated healthcare sector, it is critical to have such a reliable, consistent partner that understands any changes that could affect certification status and patient outcomes.

OEMs including GE Healthcare, Cerner, and Philips see Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) OEM Solutions as such a partner. By joining with a specialist provider of IT hardware and services, these companies have secured access to safe, reliable, cutting-edge technology while freeing their teams to focus on executing core competencies and creating innovative solutions to meet the healthcare challenges of today.
