Azure Security and Compliance Blueprint – HIPAA/HITRUST Health Data and AI released
Healthcare organisations around the world are leveraging the power of artificial intelligence and the cloud. This blueprint provides a secure end-to-end foundation for organisations to ingest, store, analyse and interact with sensitive and regulated data. It features a secure technical implementation guide and automation to help deploy a HIPAA- and HITRUST-ready environment, and it includes step-by-step documentation, a cybersecurity threat model, component architecture, a customer responsibility matrix, an external review, and deployment scripts to automate deployment.
Customer stories
"It was a reactive model. Now it's become proactive. I can see every piece of data within two minutes as it goes from the tablet to the cloud, and even if there are no alerts, we look through the reports every day. We can catch things before parents do, because we're the ones who are medically trained, and that's the way it should be, to reduce the burden on the parents."
"Roche Diagnostics was glad to partner with Microsoft and Cleidon to transform the healthcare product and service for the in vitro diagnostics industry and to provide the public with better healthcare solutions based on Microsoft Azure IoT platform."
Watch a video on how Ochsner Health Systems integrated AI into patient care workflows to detect adverse health events more quickly and accurately using machine learning for clinical data. See how intervening with patients proactively using this predictive warning system led to a 44-per cent reduction in adverse events outside the ICU during the company’s 90-day pilot.
