Case Study: Advocate Health Care improves patient care and efficiency with Microsoft Corporation Office 365

Improving patient health through collaboration, innovation and efficiency with Office 365

Advocate Health Care, one of Illinois’s largest health systems, needed a better way to support collaboration, share best practices, and deliver consistent care across its 37,000 associates and more than 400 care sites. The organization turned to Microsoft Corporation’s Office 365 along with tools like SharePoint Online, Skype for Business, and Power BI to improve communication, coordination, and access to information.

Microsoft Corporation helped Advocate Health Care implement Office 365 to enable secure collaboration, virtual ICU rounds, patient handoffs, and shared intranet and clinical workflows. The results included a 63% three-year risk-adjusted ROI, $53.8 million in productivity gains, 2 million worker hours saved over three years, $2.2 million in travel and time savings, and $400,000 saved in infrastructure every four years, while also improving security and patient care.
