4 1 Overview As the healthcare industry focuses on delivering cost-effective quality care, improvements in the accuracy of patient records, more efficient administration, and streamlined regulatory monitoring and compliance activities are required. IT has been tasked to deliver fast, reliable, and secure access to critical information while handling the growing volumes of clinical notes, images, diagnostics, scheduling, billing, and other information. However, for many organizations, the cost and complexity of healthcare IT can make it difficult to adopt, especially in light of already tight budgets. And with the continued pressure to comply with regulatory demands, healthcare-specific compliance requirements, and guidelines under the U.S. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) legislation, IT transformation is needed to effectively handle exponential data growth, improve operational efficiencies, and manage limited budgets. To address this technology challenge, many healthcare organizations are turning to cloud computing to lower cost and complexity barriers with the cloud s shared services model. By moving to the cloud, the healthcare industry will find new opportunities for data consolidation or aggregation of patient data to help physicians and clinicians make better decisions. Their organizations should also save money through reduced redundancy and cheaper operational costs. Providers. With real-time data access at the point of care (POC), clinicians can make critical decisions based on the valuable patient and medical information available to them. Educated decisions based on patient history can be made faster, with better outcomes, and can decrease medical errors. Payers. Fast-moving regulatory environments and customer demands are forcing payers to improve their analytical models to better compute risks and identify ways to reduce cost structures. Data management technologies can give payers a competitive edge with the ability to process huge volumes of data, whether it s looking at disease trends over the years, performing complex demographic analyses, or creating predictive models to curtail rising healthcare costs. 2 Adoption of Cloud Computing Although regulatory and security concerns have held back the healthcare industry from widespread adoption of public clouds, the overall cloud computing market in healthcare will grow to $5.4 billion by 2017, according to a report by research firm MarketsandMarkets. 1 Cloud-based infrastructures provide IT services that are dynamic, resilient, and use a shared infrastructure to provide lower-cost services. With the ability to provide access via secure LAN connections, cloud computing makes it possible to deliver clinical and administrative applications such as electronic health records (EHR), billing, scheduling, and other clinical and business applications. With cloud computing, healthcare organizations can: /#sthash.x9jFUrEb.dpuf 3 Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
5 Improve patient outcomes. Clinicians can securely access pools of shared resources to make immediate informed decisions without compromising confidentiality of patient data. Improve operational efficiencies. By using a shared infrastructure, cloud services save time and money while delivering increased IT efficiencies and service levels. As business demands change, shared resources can be reallocated, eliminating overprovisioning. Support exponential data growth. Cloud computing easily accommodates rapidly growing terabytes of patient data and saves on the costs of storing hardware locally to store big datasets for EHRs, radiology images, research, and claims data. 2.1 Different Cloud Models Support Different Business Objectives Deciding which cloud model offers the best fit depends on the critical nature of the workload and how security and compliance requirements will be handled. Whether a cloud is public, private, or a hybrid, the key to success is creating an appropriate infrastructure in which all resources can be efficiently utilized and shared. And in a cloud environment, implementing the right data storage model becomes even more crucial to effectively support the requirements of a shared infrastructure model. Figure 1) Cloud-computing models. Private Public Cloud Service Providers Performance Access Hyperscale Cloud Providers Protection Availability Governance Security Private Cloud Integrate public resources while retaining control Private Cloud Health providers faced with data privacy and security requirements such as HIPAA may first look at private clouds as a means to reduce cost and increase IT efficiency. By leveraging a scale-out cloudbased infrastructure to support applications including PACS, EMR, and document imaging, providers can provide quality patient care with state-of the-art medical services. A private cloud infrastructure is a practical option for the healthcare industry in which data protection, security, and regulatory compliance requirements can be shared across many departments. Private clouds, available for use behind the organization s firewall, provide an excellent cloud computing model in which maintaining applications and data internally is the driving business factor. Private clouds are about IT flexibility, efficiency, and cost savings. With a services delivery model, IT can offer services to its internal customers with automated processes, meter usage, create showback or chargeback models, and deliver services for greater cost savings, utilization, and efficiencies. Hyperscale Cloud Providers A hybrid data center model spanning private and public clouds gives healthcare organizations elasticity, 4 Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
6 agility, and economy. New Hampshire based analyst firm Technology Business Research shows that nearly 20% of the 1,600 large enterprise IT decision-makers recently surveyed reported that they use two or more cloud services that were integrated to create a hybrid cloud. 2 With an integrated hybrid cloud platform, healthcare organizations can benefit from a considerably more flexible, powerful, and cost-effective IT infrastructure, with plans to virtualize the majority of its IT environment. Delivering IT services from an integrated storage platform that spans its on-site private cloud as well as public cloud capabilities provides a new level of IT service agility, application portability, and data protection. By leveraging cloud services providers such as Amazon Web Services, IT is able to retain on-premises clouds for mission-critical services for which they can maintain control and provide necessary security for sensitive information, all while benefiting from the large scale and low cost of the public cloud. In addition, NetApp now offers NetApp Private Storage (NPS) for Microsoft Azure, 3 a solution that creates a seamless hybrid cloud environment that allows healthcare organizations to extend their IT infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. This solution allows enterprises to optimize their business by simply and securely extending into the cloud and expanding their options without adding complexity. Figure 2) Public cloud solutions for enterprise use. Hybrid Cloud / Multi-Cloud Benefits: On demand compute Massive scalability Pay as you go Cost effective Multi-cloud connectivity Control/security/compliance Data portability Performance Availability Microsoft Azure + This model provides the best of both worlds healthcare organizations are able to compute in the cloud and store on the premises. By using self-service, on-demand, elastic, and showback and/or chargeback models, IT managers can have their data under their complete control, relieving the stress associated with security, storage, and regulatory requirements. Cloud Service Providers Private Storage Acquiring cloud services from service providers who manage specific workloads, such as archiving of patient information and claims data, allows healthcare organizations to move from a capex to an opex Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
7 model, enhance efficiencies, provide IT on demand, and accelerate time to market with new services. However, initial service provider selection and planning are critical to obtaining ROI from an outsourced model. Accelerate time to market with on-demand infrastructure. Streamline administrative tasks by outsourcing noncore applications. Reduce IT capital requirements with a pay-as-you-go expense model. Improve data protection with disk-based backup and disaster recovery. Leverage reliable and secure cloud services through NetApp partners. 3 Cloud Impact on Storage Requirements Changes in the healthcare industry have an impact on storage and IT infrastructure. As payers and providers continue the transition from legacy paper-based processes to automated tasks with healthcare applications, more patient information is created and stored online. Applications including PACS, EMR, document imaging, integrated patient records, physician order entry, and claims processing all cause increased storage demand. 3.1 Manage Volumes of Growing Data Healthcare organizations are under extreme pressure to capture, store, and manage the massive volume of data used to run the business, and cloud computing offers a cost-effective approach for rearchitecting storage infrastructures. By evolving from a traditional physical-server infrastructure with direct-attached storage to a more reliable and efficient shared environment, healthcare IT is positioned to benefit from the operational and cost efficiencies that can help optimize staff productivity; meet regulations for retention; and reduce error, fraud, and duplication. However, an important aspect of managing data is to make sure that it is available when needed. In a recent IDC study, 4 the cloud solution was more reliable regarding unplanned outages and it was faster to recover than service run in-house. This resulted in a savings of 95%, or $222 per user (see Table 1). Table 1) Reliability: on the premises versus the cloud. Downtime On the Premises Cloud Savings Advantage (%) Incidents per month Hours per incident Hours per user per year Cost per user per year Source: IDC, 2013 In addition, this study shows that organizations that adopted cloud services were able to launch new services and applications 52% faster in a cloud services model. With the ability to respond quickly to new business opportunities, organizations are positioned to compete more effectively. 4 Cloud Economics: A Financial Analysis of Information Management IT Models, IDC Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
8 3.2 Correlate Data to Improve Patient Outcomes With big data coming from a multitude of sources, IT requires analytic tools that make it easy to transform data into actionable intelligence. However, with the explosion of both the size and volume of data coming from multiple sources and across multiple systems, it is imperative to have the tools that can aggregate clinical data in a consistent fashion and that can be used across multiple applications. Big data analytics provide providers and payers with greater control, taking advantage of the entire digital data repository and turning clinical data into valuable intelligence. Providers that can correlate patient records and medical data can quickly identify treatment plans. An insurer that has analytical insight to fact-based diagnostics and therapeutic decisions can shift to the new model of value-based reimbursements to drive coordinated care at a lower cost. In addition, to receive EHR incentive funding, providers must demonstrate meaningful use (MU) from their EHR applications related to improving patient care. By extracting data from the production environment and feeding it to specific reporting applications, reports can be produced that satisfy specific MU objectives as well as other internal reports such as those that help improve work efficiencies and reduce costs. 3.3 Reign in Costs Capex constraints prevent investments needed to expand internal, on-premises data center facilities. By offering affordable shared healthcare IT services, providers can enhance patient care and safety while maximizing business operations. Moving to cloud services allows IT to combine internal data centers with external virtual private cloud computing resources to create a transparent, agile IT environment capable of dynamically scaling to meet business requirements. This approach leads to better control of IT costs and the right-sizing of IT investments based on the nature of the workload involved. The IDC study also found that private cloud solutions can reduce the total cost of ownership related to storage management, information governance, and security by up to 36% while eliminating data center complexity, consolidating license fees, and reducing administrative costs for storage, archiving, and e- discovery. 4 Why Storage Matters in Managing Clinical Data in the Cloud NetApp offers cloud services infrastructures that best fit specific workloads.

A sophisticated global policy engine can create, manage, or consume data at any location while making sure that data resides where it should, as long as it should, and on the optimal storage tier. Intelligent data classification and access. Using metadata that describes the data stored in the repository, policies can be executed in a highly granular yet efficient way. In addition, data can be managed and retrieved simply by using metadata, such as account numbers or the name of a customer, regardless of where the data is physically stored. 9 Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
11 4.3 Cost Savings Through Productivity and Operational Efficiencies NetApp simplifies the complexity of managing clinical data with policy-based management.

Our private cloud infrastructure based on NetApp supports a best-in-class solution. 5.3 Mercy Health Systems In 2006 Mercy Health Systems made the forward-thinking decision to move its clinical operations to a single patient-centric EHR. To support the EHR and enhance IT service capabilities, Mercy invested in a new data center in 2009 with state-of-the-art virtualized infrastructure that would allow the growing health system to prepare for changing business models of healthcare reform, support its Epic EHR and other applications, enhance IT service levels, and position Mercy to commercialize its data center and Epic services. Leadership at Mercy Technology Services (MTS) was instrumental in planning and executing the health system's IT strategy, providing centralized 11 Cloud Computing Lowering Cost and Complexity Barriers in the Healthcare Industry
13 IT operations for Mercy's 32 hospitals. By implementing a private cloud infrastructure, MTS was able to deliver a unified platform for Epic across its 33 hospitals, achieve its goal of 99.9% availability, and provide a secure multi-tenancy environment that isolates and provides a firewall for each hospital s data to meet auditing and compliance requirements. MTS now offers EHR as a service to small to medium-sized hospitals (up to 400 beds) to help them achieve increased value from their EHR investment. By investing in cloud EHR services, these hospitals benefit from: Economics. Investing in infrastructure is capital intensive. Moving to an opex model is more cost effective, reducing the upfront investment in a commercial-grade data center. Speed to market. Leveraging a functional infrastructure that has been optimized for Epic greatly reduces time to deployment. Hospitals can immediately benefit from meaningful use from their EHR investment and be ready for ICD-10. Data analytics. Hospitals can easily harvest data stored within their EHR, build a data warehouse by integrating with data from other systems, repopulate data back into EHR records, and generate reports that turn data into valuable intelligence. Scott Richert, Mercy's Vice President of Enterprise Services We stuck with blue-chip solutions like VMware, NetApp, and Cisco to get a really high density of compute power in our data center. 6 Summary Cloud usage models offer tremendous opportunity to uncover cost savings, reduce capital expenditures, and provide transparency into how computing services are consumed across healthcare infrastructures. Upfront investments in software licenses and hardware infrastructure coupled with ongoing spending on maintenance and installation services mean that traditional acquisition and deployment models are often time-consuming, budget-burning propositions.
