\"Doctor<\/p>\n

As a practicing doctor, I loved having the opportunity to make a difference in people\u2019s lives, one patient at a time. What I love about my current career is that with health IT, we can make a difference in people\u2019s lives at a system-wide level.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m proud to be part of a team that\u2019s helping health providers around the world digitally transform to achieve the quadruple aim of enhancing both the patient and provider experience, improving the health of populations, and lowering the overall cost of care.<\/p>\n

Now that technology like hyper-scale cloud computing and AI are more accessible than ever, health organizations can infuse the systems and tools their staff and patients use with intelligence. Together with our vast ecosystem of partners, we help our customers do so in a way that they can continually innovate and scale, while also meeting their security and compliance needs. They can engage patients, empower care teams, and optimize clinical and operational effectiveness to transform health using our trusted platforms and services.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all about trust<\/h2>\n

As I\u2019ve written before, as a health provider, you can take advantage of intelligent solutions to facilitate the shift from a \u201csick care\u201d system to a more sustainable, proactive health and wellness system.<\/p>\n

But you can only do that if you can trust the technology\u2014and your technology partner.<\/p>\n

Trust is essential as you move data sets containing protected health information (PHI), including patient demographics and treatment information, to the cloud. It\u2019s critical as you share data and insights across the health ecosystem, and expand how and where health professionals and patients communicate and access confidential information.<\/p>\n

To help protect and manage confidential information, and meet regulatory and compliance obligations, you need a technology platform you can trust.<\/p>\n

And perhaps most important, you need to trust that your technology partner will help you to do what you do best, rather than causing disruption.<\/p>\n

At Microsoft, earning the privilege to work as our customers\u2019 trusted technology partner is part of our DNA.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re involved with health industry standards groups and consortiums of customers and partners around the world. And we are proud to lead the way in offering interoperable platforms and services that can help health organizations maintain compliance with key domestic and international standards and regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s through our wide array of compliance certifications and end-to-end security and data protection capabilities<\/a>, our digital crimes unit<\/a>, or the more than $1 billion we invest in security research and development each year<\/a>, we constantly work to help health organizations take a holistic approach to protection, detection, and response to security threats and cybercrime.<\/p>\n
