How Have Healthcare Cloud Solutions Helped During COVID?

This month we’ve been focused on covering a number of topics related to the healthcare cloud.  Needless to say, it’s been one of the most important technologies during COVID-19 as many healthcare organizations had to scale up in so many areas.  In most cases, cloud solutions was the key to being able to scale effectively.

As we wanted to dive deeper into the topic, we decided to turn to the company that literally has a cloud as their logo.  Plus, it’s a company that has made a lot of inroads into healthcare over the past couple years.  That company is Salesforce and we were privileged to sit down with Dr. Geeta Nayyar, Executive Medical Director and General Manager, Healthcare and Life Sciences at Salesforce.

Dr. G is a long time friend of Healthcare IT Today and so along with talking about cloud in healthcare we briefly talk about fashion choices and missing events.  Plus, Dr. G shares some great insights into the advantages and disadvantages of cloud in healthcare and the role cloud played for many healthcare organizations during COVID.

We also ask Dr. G how Salesforce’s cloud solutions can help a healthcare organization connect with patients at scale and why that’s important going forward.  Plus, we dive into the topic of cloud security and how healthcare organizations feel about cloud solutions from a security perspective and how that’s changed over time.
