Predixion’s support of the Windows Azure cloud platform enables customers to meet HIPAA regulations
Orlando, FL – February 25, 2014 –Predixion Software, a developer of collaborative predictive analytics software solutions, today announced that its predictive analytics solutions for the healthcare industry are now available on the Windows Azure cloud platform from Microsoft Corp., enabling its customers to comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards on business associate agreements (BAAs). By creating a BAA for Windows Azure, healthcare organizations using Predixion’s predictive platform can now create both a public cloud as well as hybrid setup, in which data can be stored in both a public cloud and on-premises in a private cloud. The announcement is being made at the HIMSS14 Annual Conference & Exhibition where Predixion is demonstrating its predictive analytics software solutions for healthcare providers and payers at booth 4893.
“Predictive analytics, more than most BI technologies, has the ability to deliver exceptionally valuable insights,” said Shawn Rogers, vice president of research for business intelligence, Enterprise Management Associates. “Within the healthcare industry, the application of predictive analytics consistent with best practices can be transformational in delivering higher quality outcomes at lower costs. Predixion has already made great inroads into the healthcare analytics market. The ability for Predixion’s healthcare customers to now leverage Windows Azure to enable HIPAA compliance should only help accelerate the company’s market penetration.”
“Compliance and data security are top of mind for healthcare providers today,” said Dennis Schmuland, Chief Health Strategy Officer, Microsoft. “The economics of the emerging healthcare economy is all about pay-for-quality and a focus on keeping people healthy. Solutions that help providers identify at-risk patients before they suffer the effects of chronic illness and other maladies will be in high demand. Predixion is an important player in that emerging market, and by offering their solutions on Windows Azure, their customers get powerful capabilities with enhanced security for HIPAA compliance.”
