Case Study: Stat Health Services cuts costs and improves patient care with Microsoft Azure

E-Health Provider Uses Cloud Solution to Significantly Cut Costs and Improve Service

Stat Health Services, a 12‑person Arizona e‑health provider founded by emergency physician Alan Roga, offers Stat Doctors—video and phone visits that reduce costly ER trips. After launching on physical servers in 2010, the system experienced outages and could not scale to meet growing demand, prompting the company to seek a secure, HIPAA‑compliant cloud solution.

Working with Microsoft partner Business & Decision, Stat Health rebuilt Stat Doctors on Microsoft Azure (and later moved email and CRM to Office 365 and Dynamics CRM Online). The cloud rollout cut an estimated $170,000 in upfront infrastructure costs, eliminated $3,000/month video fees, supported rapid onboarding (4,000 companies in two days), produced no outages, reduced average wait times to eight minutes, and helped clients like Scottsdale Healthcare save roughly $115,000 in its first year, with 98% patient satisfaction.
