Banner Health Partners With MST Solutions For Architectural Guidance To Digital Transformation

Improving Cross-Organization Minded Architectural Practice

Overview

Banner Health is one of the largest non-profit healthcare systems in the United States and provides a wide variety of services with clinical settings in six states. Headquartered in Phoenix Arizona, Banner Health is dedicated to making healthcare easier and life better. The demand for a patient-focused experience is driving the healthcare industry to transform their technology ecosystems. This transformation, however, has not been easy and faces broad, systemic challenges. Regulations, technology and culture all play a role in complexity, adding to the IT challenge mix. Facing these challenges, Banner Health partnered with MST Solutions, to implement new processes, upskill teams, and employ techniques to give Banner Health a jumpstart on a healthy and cross-organization minded architectural.

CHALLENGE

Healthcare systems, most notably Electronic Health Record systems, target internal staff and clinicians but do not adequately serve consumers. The modern consumer has evolved rapidly and is demanding product designs and capabilities that put their Healthcare experience on par with their Amazon experience. To meet these demands, new levels of integration (and thus collaboration across teams and organizations) are required.
