- To keep up with the pace of change, 85% of IT decision makers
(ITDMs) say IT modernization is one of the biggest drivers when
investing in their IT environments
- More than 80% of ITDMs believe connected medical devices will
have a significant impact on their organization in the next five
years

As global healthcare teams continue to adjust to a digital-first
future for delivering patient care, Hewlett Packard Enterprise
(NYSE: HPE) today unveiled survey data that reveals how the
healthcare industry is going through a rapid transformation, with a
profound impact on the technologies and solutions required to meet
the demands of modern, scalable healthcare delivery. These findings
are presented in HPE’s first ever, multi-country HPE “Future of
Healthcare” Report which surveyed healthcare clinicians and IT
Decision Makers (ITDMs) in the United States and United
Kingdom.

Market research firm Vanson Bourne conducted the HPE-sponsored
survey to explore respondents’ perceptions on how the pandemic has
impacted technology in their healthcare organization, opportunities
and challenges related to the COVID-19 pandemic, artificial
intelligence (AI), edge technologies, hybrid cloud, machine
learning (ML), and telehealth. The findings point to an increased
focus and investment in solutions that can help healthcare
organizations future-proof their edge-to-cloud IT environments and
ensure agility and flexibility in the ways they deliver quality
patient care at scale, regardless of where the providers and
patients may be located.
“The healthcare industry has undergone tremendous change over
the last 18 months, enabling providers to connect with their
patients securely and effectively wherever they are, with virtual
care at the forefront,” said Steve Cotham,Healthcare Chief
Technologist at HPE. “In this new paradigm of modern healthcare,
however, organizations face compounding pressures to quickly adapt
while still making progress toward long-term business, data
management, and patient care objectives. As a result, they are
seeking out agile, scalable, secure, and cost-effective platforms
that serve their entire edge-to-cloud environment, while still
meeting the requirements of an increasing regulatory healthcare
landscape.”
The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for digital
transformation
According to Gartner, the number of telehealth visits increased
by 154% in the last week of March 2020 compared to the same
timeline in 2019.1 The sudden shift to accelerate digital
transformation saw healthcare providers change focus to innovation
and modernization, and prioritizing the cloud experience in their
investments. Data from HPE’s Future of Healthcare Survey shows 84%
of ITDMs agree the pandemic has accelerated their organization's
digital transformation. An additional 89% agree the pandemic has
made investing in new technologies a priority for their
organization.
Delivering a new era of virtual patient care with
telehealth
With the rapid growth of edge technologies, edge computing is
being used to monitor patients remotely, automate the delivery of
care, leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the speed
and accuracy of diagnoses, and more. The COVID-19 pandemic sparked
a huge increase in telehealth adoption, enabling healthcare
organizations to continue to provide patient care outside of
traditional healthcare settings. Still, 68% of clinicians agreed
they “frequently have issues in delivering telehealth” to patients
due to lack of access to the right technology or networks,
highlighting the challenges that remain as the digital divide
prevents widespread access to wi-fi connectivity and technology
around the world.
Demonstrating the increased value of breakthrough edge
technologies in the past year, more than three-fourths (82%) of
ITDMs believe connected medical devices are one of the technologies
that will have the biggest impact on their organization in the next
five years. A further 55% say remote working has become more
important to their organization’s IT department in the last 12
months. This demonstrates the importance of a fast, efficient edge
network where the delivery of quality patient care remains the top
priority.
“The survey results indicate healthcare’s interest in deploying
AI to deliver better clinical outcomes,” said Dharmendu Damany,
Chief Technology Officer at Carestream. “Carestream has been a
leader in leveraging powerful AI technology to help improve image
quality, optimize dose and increase workflow efficiency in medical
imaging. Now we are accelerating the pace of our development by
providing our industry-leading medical imaging scientists with the
optimal AI platform/framework for their research. Our partnership
with HPE and their industry leadership with HPE GreenLake Cloud
Services gives us the framework to support the operationalization
of AI to deliver more solutions that can help improve diagnosis and
patient care.”
Healthcare organizations are pursuing hybrid cloud
models
Today’s healthcare organizations operate in an edge-to-cloud
world. Many have determined their applications and workloads must
remain on-premises or at the edge due to cost, compliance, control,
latency, security, and compliance considerations. For example, 72%
of ITDMs cited IT security as the primary concern when moving all
of their organization’s data to the public cloud, and 58% cited
data egress costs – the charges associated with moving data out of
the cloud – as one of the most essential factors in deciding where
to store data. As a result, almost two-thirds (61%) of ITDMs say
they are pursuing a hybrid cloud strategy.
“Faced with the rapid rate of change sparked by the COVID-19
pandemic, healthcare organizations are undoubtedly favoring hybrid
IT models,” said Jo Peterson, Vice President, Cloud and Security
Services at Clarify360. “The flexibility offered by hybrid
environments means healthcare organizations can have fast and easy
access to patient data, they can focus on specific security and
compliance mandates, define the most cost-effective strategy for
their data, and tailor a business continuity plan suited to their
specific needs.”
As ITDMs look to optimize their edge-to-cloud IT environment to
improve performance and efficiency, 48% of ITDMs said adopting new
and emerging IT cloud platforms was one of the most significant
drivers when investing in IT infrastructure. Regardless of where
they store their data, ITDMs are seeking out the cloud experience
with a majority (55%) surveyed pointing to “self-service IT” as one
of the top features for their IT environment in terms of having
on-demand access to IT services, applications, and scale.
Other key findings of this year’s report include:
- 79% of ITDMs say delivering better clinical outcomes (genomics,
patterns, medical imagining analysis, etc., via massive amounts of
data being collected) is one of the most important outcomes in
deploying AI or ML in their organization
- 53% of ITDMs said IT skills is a key enabler of innovation in
their organization
- 61% of ITDMs cite better data security as a key benefit of
investing in edge technologies
- Just 5% of ITDM respondents said the pandemic has had no impact
on their organization’s digital transformation long-term
