| | June 20164CIOReviewEditorialVOL 4 · ISSUE 6 · JUNE 03 - 2016Over the past decade, the global healthcare IT market has evolved from basic EMR solutions to the development of specialized hospital information management systems, population health management solutions, and healthcare information exchange systems. A majority of this growth can be attributed to the growing adoption of various healthcare IT solutions by healthcare providers in order to meet the heightened regulatory requirements for patient care and safety, increasing need to curtail the soaring healthcare costs, and growing need to improve the quality of healthcare while maintaining the operational efficiency of healthcare organizations. Many healthcare organizations struggle to manage the ever-growing amount of digital data. According to IDC Research, healthcare represents a significant percentage of the overall digital universe, and is growing at 48 percent per year ­ even faster than the rest of this digital universe. Electronic medical records, digital imaging and numerous clinical applications place strains on existing infrastructures. In addition to requiring adequate capacity and real-time access across disparate sites, digital data containing electronic protected health information (ePHI) must adhere to stringent security measures. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) act requires data backup, disaster recovery and emergency-mode operations planning. HIPAA requires healthcare organizations to protect ePHI or face penalties. There are innovations surfacing regularly to improve operations and patient care. However, the failure to interoperate restricts process automation and data capture, diminishing the return on the technology investment. Also, there is a trend towards mobility in healthcare, compelling providers to develop an effective mobile strategy. Patients today expect healthcare at their fingertips and that is why a healthcare provider's website needs to be mobile-friendly. Given these challenges, healthcare providers must decide how best to manage their critical IT infrastructure. Increasingly, healthcare organizations are turning to a colocation model instead of spending valuable resources building, staffing and maintaining their own data centers.
