What are some of the key data and infrastructure challenges that healthcare providers and payers deal with when starting out on their journey to innovate on the cloud? [03:38] The new Healthcare AI will predict who will get sick and how to prevent it. [04:47] In response to the rapidly growing amounts of electronic healthcare data, there is a new data standard to help simplify the management of health data called FHIR, which stands for Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources. Microsoft recently launched an ‘Azure API for FHIR’, what is it and how does it support healthcare innovation? [07:20] Adopting standards for data will unlock the ability for doctors to compare your symptoms with many other people like you, over time, so that they can predict the future of your health and give you an opportunity to act upon it. [08:00] Leveraging the Azure API for FHIR, KenSci recently launched a new managed service offering targeting healthcare organizations – SMART on FHIR based data & AI accelerator. Can you share some information on how this AI accelerator will help simplify the transition of data to the cloud for healthcare organizations? [08:49] Transforming data to a standard format is an ongoing process. It’s not a one-time job. [11:12] What are some of the key features that this offering will provide customers with? [12:24] An advantage to having your data in a standardized format is the ease of applying business intelligence analytics to your data. [14:45] Healthcare is the most regulated industry in the United States, and security and compliance around data privacy is a really big deal. Can you share some information on how Microsoft and KenSci together address concerns around security and data privacy with the FHIR offering? [15:14] Healthcare data is our most precious data. [15:20] In Healthcare, data privacy, data security, and data governance need to be established in the beginning. It’s not a post-facto thought process.
