At HIMSS 2026, Microsoft Dragon Copilot advances unified AI workflows to help clinicians reduce complexity and stay focused on patients.
[Update] The entry period for awards is closed and our 2020 health innovation award winners have been announced. Accelerating innovation for better experiences, better insights, and better care There’s never been a more demanding time in healthcare, with many factors driving the need for innovation to solve the industry’s most prevalent and persistent challenges.
One of the most pervasive challenges facing the healthcare industry today is siloed information. This disconnect limits information accessibility, data uniformity, and interoperability among systems. Thus, there is a constraint on how personal you can get with the information in its current form.
There has never been a more exciting time to be working in healthcare and life sciences at Microsoft.
“The nature of healthcare delivery is changing,” says Dr. Clifford Goldsmith, a physician and Microsoft’s national director for the provider industry in the U.S. “Most of healthcare was designed to work with communicable diseases, infective diseases.” I’m excited to feature Dr.
In healthcare and life sciences, advances in research and technology development are providing a deeper understanding of human health and leading to more effective ways to prevent and treat disease.
Working in healthcare is not for the faint of heart. It can be a chaotic place, and too often the systems are years behind. Healthcare organizations are carefully balancing how to enable a more personalized patient experience, improve outcomes across the care continuum, and reduce costs.
Microsoft continues to work alongside researchers and industry partners to bring cloud-based genomics analytics tools and solutions to the market. These solutions are critical in deciphering the code embedded in our individual and collective genetic blueprint.
Patients are doing their best daily to make informed decisions about their healthcare as access to information becomes more readily available. Health organizations have an opportunity to capitalize on this engagement by focusing holistically on the patient journey, looking end-to-end from their care interactions to their experience as a health consumer.
In the US, Health information exchanges (HIEs) enable medical providers to securely share patient records and improve the cost, quality, safety, and speed of patient care.
The healthcare industry is in the middle of an exciting transformation as the cloud, AI, and technology innovations unlock new efficiencies in healthcare delivery and discover new breakthroughs in scientific exploration.
The upside artificial intelligence (AI) opportunity is undeniable for every health ecosystem stakeholder. You can feel the anticipation. By 2020, Gartner predicts that 70% of healthcare provider CIOs will cite advanced analytics as their top priority.
The convergence of healthcare and technology has resulted in an explosion of data and solutions focused on supporting clinicians in making better informed decisions and improving patient outcomes. Even though many providers have migrated to electronic health records over the past 10 years, the digitization of health information in and of itself has not significantly improved clinical collaboration and productivity.
