Multi-Cloud Strategy | The Design Accelerate Healthcare Optimization with a Multi-Cloud Approach

Seventy-five percent of healthcare organizations believe the deployment of a cloud operating model will lead to improved patient care.1 And, while the deployment of a cloud strategy has the capacity to deliver, insufficient governance, shadow IT, and cloud sprawl are increasing risk, complexity, and cost. Organizations need to rethink how they manage their cloud portfolio, bringing together private, hybrid, public, and specialty cloud services into a single comprehensive, multi-cloud operating approach.

The Seven Layers of a Multi-Cloud Framework for Healthcare Multi-cloud is not a place, but rather an operating model—one that should be treated with the same rigor as designing other operating models. Healthcare organizations must plan for and execute against seven critical layers or steps to enable both clinical and business workloads to be securely stored, accessed, and shared in a reliable, resilient environment.
