Description

Healthcare, a $3.5 trillion industry in the US alone, is a complex ecosystem of patients, providers, and payers entwined by diverse systems and a challenging regulatory landscape. Healthcare is no longer local: laboratory tests cross borders, and radiology reading is regularly outsourced offshore. For architects new to the industry, this complexity can be overwhelming. It’s also one of the most rewarding industries to work in.

Sonya Natanzon identifies the guideposts that help you navigate the complexity and focus on the most important aspects of healthcare solutions. Sonya dives into complexities that architects in healthcare face and shares ways to address them to create robust solutions and improve the patient experience.

Topics include:

  • The typical challenges of the healthcare industry
  • How to identify architectural/solution objectives
  • Who makes a good business partner
  • How to manage cross-cutting concerns, such as patient safety, security, and compliance
  • How to support other business needs, such as audits
