The National Institutes of Health indicates that AI applications will cut annual US healthcare costs by $150 billion - about $460 per person the US - in 2026.
Digital transformation among healthcare organizations, and the chronic lack of resources to support secure, always-on, performant digital experiences, means inefficient, unstable, and unavailable applications and infrastructure are more than mere inconveniences.
The challenge for technologists in healthcare settings is managing the growing complexity of the disparate tools and technologies that support applications and the digital experiences they enable, while keeping them secure.
The Cisco answer is observability over the full application stack - Cisco Full-Stack Observability.
It cuts through the clutter by using the information contained within vast streams of incoming MELT generated by healthcare IT systems and applications to create actionable recommendations and insights tied to organizational and clinical objectives.
The Cisco Full-Stack Observability portfolio includes infrastructure monitoring, application performance monitoring, business performance management, digital experience monitoring, application security, application optimization and logs, with business context.
Cisco Full-Stack Observability capabilities include digital experience monitoring and application dependency monitoring for both hybrid and cloud-native applications.
This gives healthcare IT teams actionable insights into digital experiences that can help them to ensure performant, secure applications and underlying infrastructure.
The intrinsic dependencies of healthcare applications means that a single failure can have a cascading effect on the entire service offering and digital experience.
Common SQL database management software systems in healthcare are Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle RDBMS, and MySQL. It is also common for healthcare applications to also use IBM Informix, IBMDB2, Improvado, Altibase, or document databases like MongoDB, Amazon Aurora, and others.
Cisco Full-Stack Observability application monitoring capabilities reduce risk associated with insecure or unreliable data exchange and processing with end-to-end visibility of integrated systems and data sources.
Insecure applications, disaffected employees, and human error present real dangers to healthcare systems.
Cisco Secure Application, a Cisco Full-Stack Observability capability, provides business risk observability for hybrid applications.
Cisco uniquely provides this score, which combines application observability and overall institutional impact data with security and threat intelligence feeds from Cisco security products.
Cisco Secure Application also provides application security with business risk observability for cloud native applications.
DSPM Observability also extends data security across the application continuum, offering management controls to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive data and it allows healthcare providers to maintain compliant auditing processes to track, monitor, and manage access, usage, and sharing across systems.
The combination of Cisco Full-Stack Observability solutions and Cisco Cloud Application Security offers a powerful approach for securing and optimizing applications while maintaining business context.
Cisco Cloud Application Security uses an agentless approach to enable comprehensive visualization of the entire cloud stack.
Application dependency monitoring can be combined with application resource optimization capabilities, allowing healthcare organizations to assess existing infrastructure and application performance to meet goals aligned with the HIMSS INFRAM model.
Cisco stands alone in its ability to help healthcare organizations reap the churn of the massive flows of telemetry data that come from their application estate.
