What is your Health Data Strategy
Microsoft has teamed up with leading research firm Gartner to take an in-depth look at a growing problem facing healthcare provider organizations today. With a significant portion of our health data held captive in siloed IT systems, the majority of healthcare organizations find themselves challenged to simply view and analyze their own data. And with advances in medicine and the advent of new technologies, even more data is coming just around the corner. We have created a webcast in partnership with Gartner, in which we explore the growing importance of a new approach and a new class of systems that enable health intelligence.
