Microsoft announced that its first update for cloud for healthcare will be there in April with features for continuous patient monitoring, virtual health, and care coordination. Four months back also, the tech giant had launched a healthcare cloud product for supporting end-to-end security, interoperability, and compliance of health data.
As a care, during the time of the pandemic, has been crucial, Microsoft is planning to launch its Microsoft Dynamic 365 patient access feature for streamlining patients’ virtual experience. This feature will assist the patients in self-scheduling appointments both in-person and virtually on the patient portal. Moreover, patients will be provided virtual assistance for scheduling, triaging, and receiving wellness and follow-up guidance from the care team.
Furthermore, Mary Washington System, through its partnership with Microsoft, is deploying a healthcare solution built on Microsoft.
This solution will be very much helpful in connecting patients, who have deferred or canceled elective procedures, with providers. This will also make all the providers reach patients digitally with a more efficient health system and empower patients to take an active part in the healthcare process and thus boosting the patient experience.
Microsoft also will provide additional good functionality in the care management features of Dynamics 365. This will allow the providers to follow their activities and goals closely and improve workflow efficiency.
Moreover, to achieve the full potential of virtual health, Microsoft will improve the operational and clinical analysis by reinforcing the data and analytics foundation.
