Track: Mobile, Telecommunications/Unified Telecommunications Exploiting the cloud through next generation managementAs more businesses have become familiar with the core concepts of The Cloud, IT organizations are challenged to maintain a balance between their core IT environment and cloud services. Similarly, ‘Good enough’ and ‘available’ are no longer acceptable when it comes to running Cloud based applications as there is a new benchmark of expectations. In this session, organizations will learn how to exploit the opportunities presented by The Cloud by implementing successful Management systems that:Create contextual visualizations that are key to exploiting the depth of cloud resources and assist in Smart IT decision making.Accelerate productivity and business policy implementation though automation of operations and other manual workflows. Modernize IT operations management for optimized application performance that legacy tools cannot control.Manage IT workloads and applications that reside in Hybrid Cloud environments through a single pain of glass.Associate the cost of cloud use with best application deployment and use of cloud services.
As far as total cost of ownership and return on investment go, Roy noted a key consideration when his company began looking at alternatives to its Oracle/Java system. The legacy app had a fixed-cost model, whereas Salesforce expenditures would increase as the company added users, customers and so forth. On paper, Salesforce was considerably more expensive than Oracle in AWPRx's cost comparison, largely because the infrastructure was already bought and paid for. Yet by Roy's math, his annualized cost with Salesforce -- including labor, licensing, servers, and such -- is actually less than half (47%) of what it was previously. A big chunk of that savings comes from reduced headcount -- his IT team went from eight people to five after the switch. Roy noted that three people -- expensive ones, at that -- is a "big deal" in a company of his size.A long-overdue omnibus package that includes HIPAA modifications tops the list of regulations dealing with health data privacy and security issues that are pending for 2013.Also pending is an accounting of disclosures rule that, in early draft form, called for providing patients, upon request, with reports listing everyone who accessed their electronic health information. Plus, rules for Stage 3 of the HITECH Act electronic health record incentive program, which begins in 2016, are in development.Another much anticipated regulation is the accounting of disclosures rule. A notice of proposed rulemaking included a controversial requirement to provide patients, upon request, with reports listing everyone who accessed their electronic health information.next year will see continued development of rules spelling out requirements for Stage 3 of the HITECH Act electronic health record incentive program. For Stage 3, ONC will publish an updated meaningful use rule, spelling out requirements for how hospitals and physicians must use EHRs to earn additional incentives, as well as a software certification rule, outlining the required functions of EHR software that qualifies for the program.Some 25 countries use ICD-10 for reimbursement and resource allocation in their health system. All of these require further Digiiziation of records, agility, TCO, virtualziation of apps, greater IT efficiency
We all know about the famous healthcare.gov fiasco. However, what about it’s latest outage? HeathCare.gov is the front door to a system for registering for insurance and shopping for policies under the 2010 health care overhaul. Since launching on Oct. 1, it has been plagued by errors and long waits for service on the user interface side, and problems in delivering information to insurance carriers on the back end. This is the first reported outage related to a failure at a cloud provider. Impacted by Verizon Network componentfailureand Terremarkfaciltities.Healthcare and other sector failures. Too many tactical decisions, based on public clouds that simply will fail as with anyotherdatacenetr and IT group. You get what you pay for.Since Salesforce.com is hosted in the cloud, pharmaceutical reps can use the tool anywhere with Internet, or from their mobile device. Also, managers can instantly monitor activities in the field with robust reporting. The MDPHnet Project is the marriage of two software systems created by Harvard Medical School’s Department of Population Medicine (DPM). The first system, Electronic Support for Public Health System (ESP), is a disease surveillance software application that can extract and analyze data from electronic health record system for events of public health importance.

Clients such as INRange Systems and Portal|Ascend Group rely on Carpathia’s healthcare compliance experience and expertise to ensure their information systems achieve and maintain healthcare compliance standards throughout the lifecycle of their systems.In Sep 2013 Two of G2's clients in the Boston area, prescription management startup ZappRX Inc. and genome sequencing firm Courtagen Life Sciences, Inc., have signed on to use AWS' Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) under G2's BAA.AMAG pharmaceuticals: Then they discovered a small startup called CloudLock that proposed to do exactly what AMAG was looking for."We said, 'We'll pay you if you let us beta test your product. We'll give it a full run, and if it works, you will have solved our company's problem.' They came in, met with us, spent whole day talking about all our problems -- a huge development session. A month later, they came back said 'Here you go.' They hand-delivered their product, which we use religiously."McBride continues, "CloudLock gives us full control over every single document -- all 1.5 million documents in our Google Drive space. We use policy engines to report on keywords, who's doing what, who shared what with who. We know everything that happens to every single one of these docs from genesis to deprecation. Once they gave us that, we immediately commenced moving everyone to Google Drive."
This is generally what the healthcare industry is looking for. Then breakign it down between day1 and day 2 operations comes next.
Not quite as cleanly as you’d hoped it would be..If your constituents have to think about this for longer than a second, you’ve lost your attractionMeans More workload complexityMeans more challenges in meeting SLAsMeans more Cost without proactive management
No – the answer is in Hybrid cloud. Cloud is revolutionary, but you want an eviolutionary move to better, faster and smarter systems.What is better in the cloud vs your own IT systems?

Large enterprise is telling you they have to do it.If you don’t like the cloud – irrespective you desktop will be in the cloud – like it or not. MS will move you to the cloud like it or not. And you will end up in the Hybrid model – and managing complexity is going to become pivotal.But you also have greater options – Google and AWS for example.
