Data Management in the Healthcare Industry

Nearly every industry today is grappling with the IT issues surrounding the ever expanding amount of data, the applications and databases that use data, as well as the regulations governing how that data is shared. But the healthcare industry faces a unique set of challenges in modernizing its infrastructure. Healthcare IT Executives are being tasked with developing and operating solutions that integrate data from a range of patient, clinical, and back office systems to healthcare providers, patients, payers, technology and pharmaceutical companies. Federal regulations mandate that data and systems are interoperable and can be used for electronic health records (EHR) and health information exchanges (HIE) while meeting the requirements of ICD-10 and HIPAA 5010.

As healthcare companies tackle these projects, the IT project teams will first need to ensure they have the right tools in place to support the complex infrastructure required to design, build and run these 24x7 applications, and critically, the databases and data that they run on.
