How Healthcare Leaders Are Solving the Cloud Dilemma [MCL1858] 

New technologies, changing patient expectations, and ultimately the pandemic have significantly changed healthcare and the use of IT. Trends such as telehealth, homecare, remote working, virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and AI require a digital, future-oriented and secure foundation. Yet, healthcare organizations need to decide how and for which use cases cloud services can ideally be used based on local regulations, ease of migration, disaster recovery options, and degree of automation. In this session, we will talk to customers about the benefits of cloud service and how the use of cloud in hospitals will help them maintain better availability and business agility to deliver the outcomes demanded by the business.

Featuring: 

  • Christopher Logan, Director Global Healthcare Industry Strategy, VMware
  • Jens Koegler, Healthcare Industry Director EMEA, VMware

Real-life Customer Examples on Designing Medical Record Systems for the Cloud [MCL1140] 

With electronic healthcare records now supporting their infrastructure in the cloud, healthcare organizations are presented with new hosting options. A lack of reference architectures and guidance has prevented healthcare companies from starting their move to the cloud, which we will address in this session. By providing guidance on how to start moving your workloads based on your existing VMware infrastructure, we will be able to start your successful journey to the cloud.

How Healthcare Is More Securely Delivering Better Patient Experiences [EDG1965] 

Learn how healthcare organizations are delivering value-based care and enabling the best patient experiences leveraging VMware SASE. The pandemic accelerated remote work for healthcare workers to maintain their safety. Virtual care became the preferred way of engaging with patients to deliver care. All of this must be done securely while ensuring the privacy of protected health information and HIPAA compliance. Benchmarking and reporting on patient outcomes and care quality necessitates unprecedented health data and analytics, and heightened visibility into the patient journey. Patients are beginning to demand more from their medical providers, and the network infrastructure is critical to delivering a collaborative environment for healthcare workers and the best patient experiences, all while enabling security and compliance.
