The report indicates that since the start of the pandemic, healthcare providers have been leveraging the cloud to improve IT systems, clinical documentation, patient engagement and clinical decision support, driving faster growth and better efficiencies.

What Healthcare Cloud Leaders Get Right

More than a third of healthcare providers that are leading in cloud adoption have adopted cloud-based data centers, far exceeding the industry average of 10%.
More than seven out of ten cloud leaders are pairing their cloud platforms with advanced technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and AI.
Leaders that have transitioned to hybrid cloud environments are leading the way by developing cloud-native applications, as well as modernizing and migrating core processes to cloud.
91% of cloud leaders expect their cloud capabilities to be largely centralized within the next 2 years.
64% of cloud leaders have realized cybersecurity cost savings by migrating to cloud

The report builds out six tactics that offer a roadmap for healthcare providers to emulate, as a means of improving their own cloud practices.
