One of the most important things we've learned is that to truly meet the needs of mobile health professionals, it takes the right combination of hardware, apps, and user experience. So it's very cool to see all the pieces of the puzzle coming together. With the ever-increasing number of Windows devices and apps out there, clinicians can finally have not only a great mobile experience, but also the enterprise-class functionality and security they need to truly support their work. As the market continues to progress, we are learning the most from our customers about which capabilities best meet mobile health needs. Here are three of our health customers' favorite recent discoveries with Windows devices: Read the full blog back to top How Healthvault Helps People Like Me Take Control of My Health If asked, most people can provide a pretty accurate overview of their financial situation within minutes. However, if asked for an overview of their health situation-such as their latest lab results, when they're due for their next preventive check-up, etc.-it would take most of us days to pull that information together. That's because our health data is usually scattered across various doctors' offices, labs, pharmacies, insurance companies, and more. And the trouble with not having a good sense of our health situation is that it often means we end up going to the doctor for symptoms or conditions that could have been prevented. Similar to managing our finances, if we stay on top of our health status, we're better able to make positive behavior changes that can head off problems down the road. That's where Microsoft HealthVault can help. HealthVault is a trusted place for people to gather, store, use, and share health information online-whether that information is collected at home, the doctor's office, pharmacy, gym, or anywhere in between.

It is not uncommon to see healthcare organizations unknowingly restrained by their limited understanding of the potential of mining BI data to support front line clinical staff and finance professionals. Challenges that existed merely a few years ago - acquiring BI analysts, mining data, crunching and presenting data - no longer exist for organizations at the forefront of BI. Other, broader challenges now exist in leveraging data as an enterprise asset: how to deliver on the vision of producing contextual BI organization-wide, getting the right data to the right person at the right time. To make good on such a vision, an organization must have systems in place to bring forth highly precise, intuitive and actionable insights that teams and individuals need to efficiently improve the healthcare delivery.
