Meeting stakeholder goals for a modern health-data strategy

Healthcare organizations strive to improve patient experiences and outcomes equitably, minimize operating and capital costs, comply with laws and regulations, and respect patients' rights. For detailed guidance on how a modern healthcare-data strategy can help your healthcare organization meet these goals, see Appendix A. Meeting healthcare goals.

Patients and their caregivers have varied goals and expectations when it comes to healthcare. They want to receive safe and effective treatment, and make informed decisions about their healthcare. They also want to control who has access to their healthcare data and how that data is used. For more information about patient goals, see Appendix B. Meeting patient goals.

Healthcare organizations need to improve their agility and ability to innovate by adopting technical systems that are flexible and adaptable to changing conditions. For more information about healthcare system goals, see Appendix C. Meeting health system IT goals.

Healthcare system architects can follow AWS guidance and reference architectures. For a high-level architecture that addresses common healthcare needs, see Appendix D. Additional guidance on implementing a modern health data strategy.
