To cure cancer, reduce costs, and engage patients, health systems are taking new approaches to care delivery and patient engagement, demanding new types of data and rapid access to it--on any device, anytime.

Cloud-based applications like Salesforce.com, Practice Fusion, and marketing automation solutions enable healthcare organizations to build loyalty while capturing additional data for personalized care delivery. However, to reach your potential, information from your cloud-based applications must be shared and integrated with the rest of the information in your healthcare enterprise.

Cloud-based applications create valuable data that must be managed and maintained as part of your enterprise information management strategy.
