Dell Emc Healthcare Powerchat

Chris Mohen explains Converged Infrastructure’s role in Healthcare IT transformation.

In this episode Kevin, a former Healthcare executive, addresses the multi-faceted world of Healthcare IT transformation. Before 2010 and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), most Healthcare settings did not employ Electronic Medical Records (EMR), so the digitization revolution is occurring much later in Healthcare than in other industries. EMR is the first area of transformation, but there is a plethora of other data to be incorporated from a wide range of devices, little of which is designed for interoperability. New technologies such as machine learning, AI, and genomic data are driving a more personalized care protocol based on, for example, individualized genetic mutations. All this data drives a new era of digital pathology, requiring data lake architectures that can scale out. The net savings to physicians is 80% reduced time accessing vital data needed for individualized care. Kevin then discusses Dell Products and Services that assist in Healthcare IT transformation and how our approach is solutions

In this episode Susmit takes us through the complex world of clinical workforce end user transformation. Starting broadly with trends in end user computing, Susmit takes us through the changing technologies, work habits and demographics of end users. Narrowing in on health care workers, Susmit first explores the sea change brought about due to digital health care records, then discusses the surprising amount of time health care end users spend entering data and not attending to patients. This means that strategies to transform clinical end user computing need to focus on the end user and not the device, maximize simplicity and efficiency, and of course maintain highest levels of security while managing costs. Susmit takes us through how all that is accomplished along with some success stories, and finally covers the ways in which Dell is positioned to help with this transformation.
