Technologies and programs to improve health and healthcare
In both developing and mature nations, at the local, state, and national levels, governments are challenged to contain rising healthcare costs, enhance quality of care, and increase access to healthcare services. They also must provide traditional functions such as monitoring public health and minimizing the spread of communicable diseases.
Meeting these goals requires intensive communication as well as collection and analysis of information—and in some cases, collaboration across political and physical boundaries.
Intel technology-based solutions help public healthcare systems meet their objectives of providing better care to citizens. Intel consults with governments and healthcare systems around the world to understand their unique challenges so that we can address them together. We bring technology leadership, a unique, independent perspective, a strong commitment to open standards, and deep experience in helping nations and industries use digital technologies to improve health and healthcare.
Intel® solutions, technologies, and expertise help governments to:
- Accelerate clinician adoption of digital technologies that improve productivity and enhance healthcare quality
- Increase opportunities for citizens to access high-quality, cost-effective healthcare services
- Improve efficiencies and costs by deploying scarce resources more effectively, optimizing workflows, and delivering up-to-date information where it is needed
- Optimize use of healthcare information technologies to impact clinical and policy objectives
For example, we have assisted governments in creating practical programs that help physicians, district nurses, and other healthcare workers enter data electronically, access clinical data when and where they need it, and collaborate with other providers in real time. These government-assisted purchase programs, including employee purchase programs, can help improve healthcare quality, control rising healthcare costs, and enhance the productivity and job satisfaction of highly skilled workers.
See how Intel technologies can help you scale your data center to handle the rising load of healthcare applications and databases.
