Health care and life sciences

Using technology to help drive better outcomes and healthier lives

Technology is the key in addressing today’s biggest challenges in health care and life sciences (HCLS).

The health care and life sciences industry is subject to stringent and fast-evolving regulations. These rules impose significant responsibilities that require validation of key processes, protect valuable intellectual property, and uphold patient privacy. To anticipate and respond to fast-emerging challenges, health care and life science organizations should consider developing new practices around collaboration, data-driven clinical and operational decisions, precision medicine, and cost control.

The common denominator is technology, but developing the tools this evolution calls for is not the core mission of today’s health care and life sciences organizations. That’s why thousands of industry organizations turn to the combined power of Deloitte and AWS for health care and life sciences consulting and pre-built services, solutions, and accelerators that can help them achieve their cloud migration and digital transformation goals more quickly—and shorten the path to measurable business value.

Capabilities designed for health care and life sciences needs

As HCLS organizations depend more on cloud platforms and data-intensive methods in an increasingly competitive and regulated environment, they can turn to Deloitte and AWS for joint cloud migration solutions and offerings that address key needs and accelerate innovation.

We know your business

Modern health care runs on data, but data may be its most difficult asset to manage. Every drug development pathway or patient journey generates and uses vast volumes of information, but too often it’s siloed, unstructured, and difficult to share or use.

AWS is a trusted technology and innovation partner to the global health care and life sciences industry, with more than a decade of industry experience providing reliability, security, and data privacy. AWS was the first to offer HIPAA eligible services and GXP guidance, and was the first cloud provider to host EPIC on its cloud. Deloitte is a recognized market leader in health care and life sciences consulting and implementation services, and has been recognized by many leading analysts for its cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), cyber, and ERP transformation capabilities—including its significant investment in building solutions on the AWS cloud. Deloitte was the first alliance organization to achieve the AWS Life Science competency, and the first to achieve EPIC on AWS.

Deloitte and AWS share a culture of customer-centric problem solving, and together they help organizations achieve full business value from the investments they make in the cloud. To make this possible, they have made their own joint investments in skilled resources, accelerators, and ongoing thought leadership. Together they help HCLS organizations reduce the risk in cloud migration and digital transformation, helping lead to accelerated innovation, better experiences for both patients and care providers, and better outcomes.
