​When health professionals are connected to the right information at the right time, they can deliver quality care to help reduce readmission rates and improve chronic care management and patient satisfaction. Solutions by Microsoft and our partners help you implement new, or enhance existing, electronic medical record (EMR) systems and imaging systems to improve the availability of patient information, enhance collaboration between workers, and drive the integration of health automation tools.

​With increasing pressure to improve performance and quality of care, leading health organizations are leveraging business intelligence solutions from Microsoft and our partners to help improve the quality and efficiency of medical service delivery. Business intelligence solutions, enabled by Microsoft technology, provide health workers access to data sources and capabilities to analyze available data in a familiar environment while ensuring ICT has the ability to monitor actions and maintain control—helping to enable "self-service BI" without compromise. The flexible and scalable BI solutions optimized for data integration, reporting, and analysis can be deployed on-premises, in the cloud, or a hybrid of both.

Today, consumers increasingly expect to be involved in managing their health and care. From accessing personalized health content and test results, to communicating with members of a care team, engaging patients and their families online with meaningful self-service options can improve the experience and outcomes your organization is already providing.

For providers, effectively delivering and coordinating care requires convenient access to data that can be shared securely within a hospital, health system, or across an entire community. From the bedside to remote access via tablets and other mobile devices, Microsoft and our partners provide a variety of options to improve care quality and the efficiency of the increasingly mobile provider community by providing easy access to information.
