He shares its mission to enable healthcare providers with the technology they need to deliver patient-centric healthcare that improves cost, quality, outcomes, and access to the communities they serve. Prior to joining AWS, Michael was Epic’s technical fellow with a career spanning nearly 30 years, focusing on helping healthcare organizations deploy and operate their EHR more simply.
EHR in the cloud: The elastic health record
Cloud technology provides an opportunity to think differently about the electronic health record (EHR) to provide continuous, superior patient care. A patient’s health is not static, and a health record system is not static. Healthcare leaders should consider shifting the underlying words of EHR from “electronic” to “elastic,” embracing a record that is always in motion. AWS can help support this elasticity.
