allows point of care clinical users to accomplish tasks
that they cant perform with legacy solutions.

Case study: Reduce heart failure readmissions

Allocating scarce resources in real-time to reduce heart
failure readmissions: a prospective, controlled study

http://qualitysafety.bmj.com/content/early/2013/07/31/bmjqs-2013-001901.full

This study provides preliminary evidence that technology

platforms that allow for automated EMR data extraction, case
identification and risk stratification may help potentiate the effect
of known readmission reduction strategies, in particular those that
emphasize intensive and early post-discharge outpatient contact.

The most important benefit of the cloud is that it

allows point of care clinical users to accomplish tasks
that they cant perform with legacy solutions just
werent possible before.
Without asking for permission for every experiment.

Clinical tech users are resourceful

Clinical professionals that are
counted on to save lives do
not always wait around for
solutions, they create them.
The cloud can empower them.

Shadow IT is prevalent & growing

When they only had
access to MS Office,
Shadow EHRs were
created using Word,
Excel, and Access.
In the cloud era, they
pick consumer-grade
and least-secure options
when you dont give
them reasonably secure
options instead.

Your cloud strategy is successful when its

activities are pragmatic, fit for purpose, and
almost as useful to HCPs and patients as their
consumer-grade tools.
Youve failed if you havent created a framework
for rapid and adaptable clinical decision support
and medical records accessibility.
