Helping healthcare providers become more efficient

Delivering high-quality service and care efficiently and at reasonable costs is a priority for any healthcare organization. But even as technology evolves to support these efforts, a number of challenges still get in the way of the technological efficiency of many healthcare organizations.

Time and money spent dealing with regulations and legal issues are two often-mentioned challenges. Managing security and preventing threats are others. Productivity that's lost when information is hard to find, when medical records need to be physically duplicated and shared, or when data security or privacy becomes an issue — these are just some of the obstacles facing many healthcare companies.

What steps can these companies take to streamline their operations and effectively manage their data?

Google has been working on several initiatives designed to help healthcare companies overcome these obstacles. We'll be discussing these efforts at a free Webinar scheduled for Wednesday, December 10, at 10:00 am PT. Here's what the session will cover:

• The latest on Google Health, which enables patients, providers, and hospitals to organize health information securely and cost effectively.

• The ways that Google Search Appliance provides fast, secure, and accurate access to all kinds of information inside your healthcare business – even data stored in most legacy repositories.

• A look at how Google's message security and archiving tools block email threats and deliver easy to use archiving at a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

• A case study from Nathan Sackett at Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, New York
  

Whether you're looking for the latest progress and insights on Google Health or wondering how search and security can help make healthcare enterprises more productive, this session will share expert opinions and data that healthcare professionals can put to work. We hope you'll join us.
