Notas del editor

  1. Over the past twelve years Microsoft has steadily increased its investments and commitment to health. In 2005, the Health Solutions group was created when our corporate VP, Peter Neupert, came on board at the direct request of Steve Ballmer to explore and create solutions for healthcare more deeply. Peter’s been a long time Microsoft employee. He led the OS/2 team and then he orchestrated the MSNBC deal before leaving Microsoft to go on and establish Drugstore.com. After a few years as the CEO of Drugstore.com Peter was on the United States President’s IT Advisory Council when he decided to come back to Microsoft to help us focus very specifically on healthcare and healthcare IT solutions. Over the course of the following 2 years, HSG purchased key technologies to create a foundation of solutions to address pressing challenges that other IT organizations were not meeting. The result is the solution set we have today – a Family of enterprise solutions, Amalga, and HealthVault, a platform for consumer information. Today, we have some of healthcare’s leading providers using Microsoft Health Solution Group’s innovative solutions. Microsoft is the only IT provider simultaneously addressing health information needs from both a consumer and enterprise viewpoint, to advance a vision of unifying health information and making it more readily available, ensuring the best quality of life and affordable care for everyone.
