PROVIDENCE
“ You can see that it ’ s really hard to innovate if you have counterproductive complexities such as an environment with 4,000 applications , and that ' s why we first simplify the environment before modernising the way that we use and deliver technology ”
B . J . MOORE CIO & EVP OF REAL-ESTATE
STRATEGY OPERATIONS , PROVIDENCE
Microsoft and Nuance to effectively have a strategic collaboration .
Providence is set to complete their simplification and modernisation journey by December 2022 . They completed their move to a single electronic health record in March and , as of July , have moved to Oracle cloud , which is their new ERP system . Moore says : “ Indeed , we ’ re under a lot of costpressure here in the US , and so the question is , ‘ how do we provide those same services for less ?’ We ’ ll focus on the efficiency of our own IT operations , and then the engineering work that we do is really going to be focused on caregiver attraction , retention and productivity .”
Providence is a shining example of the convergence occurring with tech and healthcare and should serve as an example for healthcare systems all over the globe , as to their ever-growing and inevitable interdependence . healthcare-digital . com 131
