Once this transition is underway , the organisation will be able to harness exciting technologies , such as Gen AI . As Michigan Medicine progresses with the cloud migration , the challenges and opportunities lie in harnessing these emergent technologies – particularly Gen AI – in a meaningful and operational manner .
“ Gen AI has been eye opening in terms of its potential impact to the business , and there ’ s been a lot of justifiable excitement around that particular type of technology . Unfortunately , in 2023 , there was a lot of talk about the potential , but there wasn ’ t a lot of talk in terms of what we were actually executing on . And because there wasn ’ t the talk about execution , there also wasn ’ t the talk about how to operationalise any of it .
“ So what I look forward to as we begin to move things out in the cloud is how we take advantage of some of these tools and technologies that people are talking about .”
“ Once we ’ ve moved things out into the cloud , the next series of journeys will be how do we take workloads that are operating in the cloud and use more cloud native tools and solutions to enhance patient care or improve the patient experience . That ’ s where it gets really exciting for me .
“ Then we will really have the opportunity to elevate the institution in terms of providing a brand new set of tools and technologies that we don ’ t have in our on-prem environment . And that ’ s where the excitement will really begin to pick up speed and momentum .” healthcare-digital . com 65
