Healthcare Institutions Should Understand Cloud Lifecycle Administration
In the rapidly evolving digital landscape, cloud lifecycle management has become a crucial strategy for healthcare organizations. Mission Cloud Services, a subsidiary of CDW, has formulated specific requirements to streamline this process.
Their approach encompasses centralized application landscape management, removal of redundancies, and alignment with business priorities. They advocate for assessment based on the TIME model, considering both business and IT metrics, proactive end-of-life monitoring, and planning upgrades and replacements to avoid risks. Visualizing application roadmaps with clear initiatives, schedules, and priorities is another key aspect, enabling strategy-oriented implementation and transparent communication across teams.
This focus on reducing inefficiencies, aligning IT and business, lowering downtime risk, and ensuring forward-looking lifecycle planning has been instrumental in addressing the initial trepidation among healthcare IT leaders before cloud adoption.
The shift to cloud adoption has indeed reduced concerns around cloud migration and increased overall confidence in cloud infrastructure. The cloud offers a secure, efficient, and cost-effective foundation, facilitating modernization of workflows and providing access to modern technologies such as AI.
Mission Cloud Services can guide healthcare organizations through AWS' artificial intelligence and machine learning tools, ensuring compliance and security. Decommissioning applications or workflows is the final stage in the cloud lifecycle, and Mission Cloud Services sees this as an opportunity for modernization.
Adopting a FinOps mentality is critical for financial responsibility in the cloud. Mission Cloud Services can help healthcare organizations design compliant and secure cloud infrastructures, aiding in the understanding of the entire lifecycle of cloud management for cloud success and cost optimization.
However, security remains the top concern for healthcare organizations in cloud lifecycle management, particularly around Protected Health Information (PHI), clinical records, and other sensitive healthcare data. Health systems may not be able to fully leverage AI and machine learning tools without a strong cloud infrastructure.
Over the past five to seven years, healthcare organizations have made significant progress in cloud adoption, with numerous success stories. Cloud providers like Amazon Web Services have increased confidence in cloud adoption for healthcare organizations, offering a variety of services with built-in compliance and security features needed by health systems.
Continuous observation and optimization of workloads from a compute, data, and financial perspective are necessary in the cloud. Healthcare IT teams often struggle with buy-in from various stakeholders in cloud lifecycle management. Mission Cloud Services helps determine an organization's current position in the cloud lifecycle and what they need to move forward.
Today, a technology partner like Mission Cloud Services, a CDW Company, can assist healthcare organizations in every step of their cloud lifecycle management journey, ensuring a secure, efficient, and cost-effective digital future.
