Many health organizations have multiple information systems--few of which work together--and a large percentage of health transactions are paper-based. These challenges make it difficult for health professionals to offer efficient services. Physicians, nurses, and other staff need to be able to access and share information smoothly and quickly, enabling them to work more efficiently and make better decisions. Microsoft products and Microsoft partner solutions allow you to leverage and extend your EMR system to realize your goals of clinical quality and efficiency across a variety of care settings.

Improve efficiency and health outcomes

• Deliver high-quality care with real-time information and collaboration between clinicians to reduce readmission rates and improve chronic care management and patient satisfaction.
• Save money by deploying widely used commercial, off-the-shelf platforms and solutions that can offer shorter learning curves for both technologists and end users.
• Improve productivity by streamlining workflow for clinical and administrative activities.
• Connect the health ecosystem, giving health professionals information to do their jobs most effectively and giving patients knowledge to participate in the care they receive.

Realize the full value of your investment

Patient activation and engagement

The power of your EMR solution is enhanced when you connect EMRs to tools that focus on proactive care, such as health portals, patient relationship management systems, and self-monitoring tools.

Provider collaboration and productivity

Not only does an EMR system facilitate better access to a patient’s data, but sharing that information with other members of the care team and the patient helps improve care.

Business intelligence

With pressure to demonstrate clinical quality, business intelligence systems need to extract real-time data from ERM systems so executives and department heads can effectively analyze clinical data to improve outcomes.

Information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure

A secure and interoperable infrastructure is the foundation for your EMR system and the related use scenarios. Focusing on surrounding your EMR solution with the right systems will help you realize the value of your EMR investment.

A solution based on familiar technologies

An EMR solution based on Microsoft technologies helps enable intuitive and seamless ways of connecting, collaborating, and informing across the healthcare ecosystem, so people can get the right information at the right time to take informed action. Using familiar technologies such as Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft SharePoint, and Microsoft Office, you can accelerate implementation and adoption to more quickly reach your goals.
