Empowers Health Team Collaboration
The healthcare industry was in the middle of a big shift guided by the rise of team-based care because of substantial growth in the volume of digital patient data, demanding data protection requirements, and increased medical specialisation much before the pandemic hit the world.
Using Bookings app in Teams, healthcare providers can now easily manage, schedule, and conduct provider-to-patient virtual visits within Microsoft Teams.
All in all, Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare brings together the best of existing and potential capabilities critical to how caregiving teams collaborate, coordinate care, communicate, and generate insights that help improve workflow efficiency and patient outcomes.
These insights can be highly beneficial to create a patient-centric lens of observational, transactional, and behavioural patient data. This will be helpful to quickly analyse data unique to each use, enable collaborative care management across both human-assisted and digital channels, and optimise the patient experience, anywhere, anytime.
Improves Clinical And Operational Data Insights
Healthcare organisations across the world are facing a series of challenges with their critical data. In fact, healthcare organisations are struggling to manage a virtual explosion in the amounts of information collected and fragmentation of formats and data across caregiving teams and providers in the wake of a severe shortage of staff and resources. Now comes the good news - it's possible to attain HIPAA compliance while cloud technologies are being implemented to store and utilise critical healthcare data.
One of the biggest advantages of Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare is that it seamlessly facilitates the electronic access, use, and exchange of electronic health information by and between healthcare providers, patients, and health plans. In the cloud, personal health information (PHI) is required to be handled uniquely, and organisations get the control and trust they need when FHIR is built-in.
It’s extremely easy with a healthcare customer relationship management (CRM) system powered by Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, and the best thing is that everything is under a single umbrella.
