Microsoft launches ‘Healthcare In A Box’

Microsoft has launched ‘Healthcare In A Box’, a suite of offerings for the healthcare industry. The suite aims to provide patients secure experience with improved operational efficiency while being remotely connected.
At its recent developers conference Build 2020, Microsoft announced its first cloud offering for the healthcare industry. Called Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare, it is now available in public preview. The cloud solution for the healthcare industry aims to support the industry in the following ways:
Patient engagement: Extends Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing, Dynamics 365 Customer Service and Azure IoT to healthcare organisations to help them engage better with their patients.
Health team collaboration: Teams, which supports HIPAA compliance and is HITRUST certified, brings together chat, voice and video meetings, and offers recording and transcription, as well as messaging features, available across devices. Healthcare providers will now be able to schedule, manage and conduct provider-to-patient virtual visits through the new Bookings app integration in Microsoft Teams.
