In the healthcare industry, organizations are tasked with managing highly sensitive patient data while adhering to strict regulations like HIPAA and ensuring interoperability through standards like FHIR. Transitioning to a cloud environment introduces challenges in maintaining compliance, securing data, and integrating with existing clinical workflows. How can healthcare providers establish a cloud infrastructure that addresses these critical concerns?

This session will guide attendees through the process of setting up a secure, compliant Azure cloud environment specifically tailored for healthcare needs.

We’ll start by exploring the unique regulatory requirements of the healthcare sector, focusing on compliance frameworks such as HIPAA and the implementation of FHIR standards for data interoperability.

Next, we’ll demonstrate how to configure Azure services to meet these requirements. This includes setting up secure networking architectures, implementing advanced access controls, and leveraging Azure's compliance and security tools to protect sensitive clinical data.

Finally, we’ll cover strategies for integrating existing clinical applications and systems into the Azure environment. We'll discuss best practices for data migration, ensuring minimal disruption to clinical operations, and maintaining data integrity and security throughout the process.

Attendees will leave with a clear roadmap for establishing a healthcare-compliant cloud environment on Azure, equipped with actionable insights to enhance data security, ensure regulatory compliance, and seamlessly integrate cloud solutions into existing clinical settings.
