HEALTHCARE: A Solution Overview

TODAY’S HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY FINDS

As telemedicine, analytics and electronic health records take off, rely on AMD EPYC™ processors to power your most demanding and cutting-edge healthcare applications. Today’s healthcare industry finds itself under pressure to create integrated, cohesive, data-driven digital ecosystems. Hospital systems, medical practices, payers/insurers, medical and non-medical organizations may have different business models and technology needs, but they can all agree that without the optimal technological infrastructure, they won’t able to keep pace with the industry’s seemingly constant waves of transformational change. UNDERSTAND THE TRENDS, MEET THE CHALLENGES • High Performance Computing (HPC) is becoming more common for medical imaging processing, robotic surgery and other data-driven diagnosis and treatment. Clinical, genomic and pharmaceutical researchers also rely on HPC to perform complex virtual modeling and simulations. • Electronic health records systems (EHR), responsible for the management, distribution and security of patient health data generated from office visits, hospital stays, lab tests and medical telemetry devices, are ubiquitous but challenging to implement. They require strong security to meet stringent compliance standards but quick and easy access to data as well. High performance and low latency are critical features but can be tough to implement in a cost-efficient and secure way.

• AI and advanced analytics applied to real-time patient data to provide treatment recommendations are making headway, but the applications are notoriously compute-heavy, requiring significant processing power. • Telemedicine exploded in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, accelerating the adoption of new kinds of patient/physician interactions that increase the caching, performance and security loads on the host’s infrastructure. • Targeted healthcare uses masses of health data to discover diagnostic insights. It can deliver therapeutics specific to patient profiles or address wider needs based on population and disease analysis. • “Consumerism” in medicine is leading to value-based outcomes for reimbursement by payors and is helping patients participate in and get more control over their own healthcare.

90 % ADOPTION RATE BY HOSPITALS TO MOVE TO EHR The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) offered more than $35 billion in incentives to move from paper patient records to EHR, resulting in a nearly 90% adoption rate by hospitals by 2020. 1
