Cloud Deployment and Migration

Many healthcare organizations are finding new opportunities to optimize resources, control costs, and innovate by building an Electronic Health Record (EHR) and third-party applications strategy hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS). 

By migrating or directly deploying their operations to AWS for healthcare, these organizations are reinventing how they collaborate, make data-driven clinical and operational decisions, and handle the rising cost of care. 

The best part? They’re able to focus on quality of care while leaving the management of infrastructure and software to AWS. 

We recently led a successful Epic direct AWS implementation at Jupiter Medical Center in Palm Beach County, Florida, which reduced Jupiter’s capital needs by nearly $4M each year.

AWS for Healthcare Success Story

Cordea led an early-adopter Epic direct cloud implementation, including third-party applications, at Jupiter Medical Center in Palm Beach County, Florida. We reduced the footprint of our client’s data center and repurposed the space for revenue-generating clinical functions, reducing our client’s capital needs by nearly $4M.

We also implemented an innovative pilot program to rapidly replace Jupiter's $700K legacy contact center infrastructure with a scalable, affordable, cloud-based Amazon Connect solution.

The results:

  • No Unplanned Epic Downtime: No disruptions in response time or reliability.
  • Scores: Workflow step response time 100%; very high response time score 990.
  • Savings: 35% savings using AWS vs. current state; 58% savings vs. Epic hosting.
  • Operating Expenses: 10% reduction from legacy systems.
  • Capital Needs: Reduced Jupiter’s capital needs by nearly $4M annually.

AWS’ robust infrastructure enables hospitals to build scalable, secure solutions across domains that include patient care, operational efficiency, and data management.

 

Prepare for the Future of Care

  • Reduce operating costs by scaling infrastructure resources instead of over- or under-provisioning infrastructure. 
  • Right-size computation power and storage to meet fluctuations in demand and benefit from consumption-based pricing. 
  • Accommodate changing user demands by automating workloads to reduce unplanned downtime caused by human error. 
  • Start small by migrating your EHR or some applications to AWS and continuing to move technologies over time–without disrupting service. 
  • Complete complex digital tasks quickly and easily using automated tools, processes, and clinical/operational/revenue cycle workflows

Why AWS for Healthcare?

Cloud computing enables remote access and use of these resources from a network of servers hosted by a cloud service provider, such as AWS.

 

Leading hospitals and health systems are choosing to migrate or directly deploy their EHR and mission-critical operations to AWS. AWS for healthcare is flexible and cost-efficient. It allows organizations to leverage powerful computing capabilities without investing in expensive infrastructure.

 

In fact, deploying or migrating your digital healthcare ecosystem – including your EHR and third-party applications – to AWS offers advantages that extend beyond cloud infrastructure.

 

AWS is the most secure, reliable, and broadly adopted cloud platform for healthcare organizations worldwide. Cordea Consulting provides the healthcare IT leadership, services, and support that these organizations trust.

 

We’ll ensure you accelerate innovation, optimize data, and develop personalized care strategies—all while operating securely in the highly regulated healthcare industry.

Why Healthcare Organizations are Moving to AWS

Working with highly regulated health data requires a robust approach to healthcare security, privacy, compliance, and recovery in the cloud. With AWS, you can store, process, and transmit sensitive health-related information with confidence.

 

AWS stands out as the ideal partner for healthcare for several key reasons:

  • Extensive Healthcare Expertise: AWS consistently leads in healthcare-specific solutions. KLAS 2024 rankings highlight its superior technology, scalability, and customer satisfaction.
  • Cost-Effectiveness and Innovation: AWS offers lower costs, ease of use, and a faster pace of innovation than other providers, enabling organizations to avoid relying on third-party tools.
  • Proactive Partnership: AWS provides exceptional customer support, with proactive planning, cost transparency, and expert guidance that exceed contractual obligations.
  • Secure and Compliant Solutions: AWS’s robust security and compliance features are designed to meet the unique regulatory needs of healthcare organizations, ensuring data protection and interoperability. Access services for 100+ HIPAA-eligible security standards, including C5, ENS High, FedRAMP, FHIR, GDPR, GxP, HDS, and HITRUST.
  • The AWS Ecosystem: The ecosystem extends far beyond contact center services, offering a comprehensive suite of over 250 services that form the foundation for most any solution a healthcare organization can envision. Improve clinical and operational efficiency, along with patient safety and quality of patient care, using data lakes, analytics, and AI and ML services that run on AWS.
  • Proven Success: Cordea’s successful Epic direct AWS implementation and Amazon Connect contact center pilot program, both at Jupiter Medical Center, demonstrate how AWS solutions can transform healthcare IT environments, reduce costs and improve patient outcomes.
