Health IT

Healthcare information (HIT) systems are designed to connect all the elements together for patient data, reports, medical imaging, billing, electronic medical record (EMR), hospital information system (HIS), PACS, cardiology information systems (CVIS)enterprise image systemsartificial intelligence (AI) applications, analytics, patient monitors, remote monitoring systems, inventory management, the hospital internet of things (IOT), cloud or onsite archive/storage, and cybersecurity.

Josh Gluck, Pure Storage vice president of global vertical alliances and solutions, explains hospitals need to do more homework when it comes to which healthcare data storage solution is best for them - cloud or on-premise data centers.
