Health Technology and IT Modernization

To continue delivering the best possible outcomes for patients and populations, hospitals and health systems need information technology that is reliable, continuously up-to-date, easy to use, and tailored to the industry's changing needs. In other words, health organizations need IT that is thoroughly modern by contemporary standards and that can be adapted to remain so over time, even as technology rapidly advances.

To provide the strong technology foundation healthcare providers need to flourish, today’s health IT must:

• Be available and running without fail, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year
• Provide useful data and insights to authorized end users when and where they need them
• Allow for the seamless integration of emerging technologies
• Scale easily across diverse missions, programs, agencies, and organizations
• Be informed by operations data, and able to continuously evolve to embrace new efficiencies
• Be transparently budgeted
• Protect patient privacy and be wholly secure

Maintaining IT to such standards is not a simple task. Doing so requires a partner who combines cutting-edge technology expertise with knowledge of the healthcare industry and a deep understanding of the missions involved.
