Microsoft to offer healthcare software
Healthcare Strategist Trend Watch, July 28, 2006
Microsoft has announced plans to purchase a clinical healthcare software system developed by doctors and researchers in Washington, DC. The software system, Azyxxi, is designed to retrieve and quickly display patient information from a variety of sources, including scanned documents, X-rays, angiograms, and ultrasound images, and make them instantly available at the point of care, according to a release.
"Healthcare delivery is one of the top global challenges for governments, employers, caregivers, and consumers," said Peter Neupert, Microsoft's corporate vice president of its health solutions group, in a release. "Microsoft believes that information technology can positively impact the situation by removing barriers and empowering physicians with instant access to critical patient data."
