Abstract

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation was delivered during the IDC European Healthcare Executive Summit on May 18, 2022.

Scaling digital innovation has been a key challenge in healthcare for years. This presentation provides an overview on how the COVID-19 pandemic has enabled European healthcare to develop new best practices and methodologies on how to plan, develop, source, and manage innovation. These methodologies are built around the ability to engage and drive value for individuals, be it patients or the clinical workforce. They enable healthcare organizations to plan, design, and implement tools at the nexus of patients and workforce needs, enabling new care services delivery models. A data-first, applications-second approach will give healthcare organizations the flexibility to mitigate data interoperability, usability, and regulations compliance challenges. It will also set the foundations to scale intelligence across the healthcare enterprise and ecosystem, driving new and richer care services, more flexible operations, and rapid deployment. Finally, a radical approach to infrastructure modernization with a higher degree of orchestration and automation between core, edge, and cloud resources is a precondition to enable a data-driven, agile, and adaptive healthcare organization.
