At Microsoft, we kept pace by collaborating with customers to migrate their EHRs to the cloud with Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of a strong network of partners who share Microsoft\u2019s deep commitment and a continued investment to increase Azure capabilities allowed all of us to grow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cloud-first strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Health and Life Sciences (HLS) began seeing the EHR cloud-first strategy emerge in 2017 and quickly escalate from 2020 on. With more than 250 million patients having a current electronic record in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Epic<\/a>, we recognized early on the importance of supporting customers of the nation\u2019s largest EHR system to move their critical assets to Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/724167-legacy-health-health-provider-azure\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Legacy Health, one of the largest community-owned<\/a> nonprofit healthcare systems in the Portland, Oregon area, was among the first providers to move forward with its Epic on Azure implementation. Instead of managing the servers, software, heating, cooling, generators, and everything related to its previous electronic records system, Legacy Health built a live hybrid and disaster recovery environment. It delivered better reliability and availability, a 65 percent reduction in costs, and enhanced patient care. \u201cWe created the opportunity to focus on the core business and value-added services instead of all the time-consuming base infrastructure,\u201d said Jeff Olson, Legacy Health\u2019s IS Technical Director. \u201cAll by moving our disaster recovery to a product like Azure.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Scalability and security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That same dedication to patients led <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/1447295863832519179-sluhn-health-provider-m365-teams-rooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">St. Luke\u2019s University Health Network<\/a>, headquartered in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to create an innovation center embracing Microsoft tools to help transform how employees administer exceptional care in its 12 hospitals and more than 300 outpatient sites.
