Healthcare managed services provider Cloudticity and Epic infrastructure services provider Sapphire Health are collaborating to smooth the transition of providers using Epic's EHR to the Amazon Web Services Cloud, the companies said Aug. 9.
Cloudticity is in the AWS partner network.
"The strategic alignment of Sapphire Health and Cloudticity brings together much-needed services for the healthcare provider space. Helping hospitals leverage cloud resources in a secure and cost-effective manner for critical workloads like electronic health records will pave the way for faster innovation," CEO of Sapphire Health Austin Park said. "EHR systems like Epic currently represent the most significant technology investment in most hospitals. Moving that workload to the cloud will enable a huge leap in cloud adoption and open a whole new world of possibilities."
