Healthcare organizations continuously navigate complex challenges as patient demand grows. Imaging volumes are rising faster than radiology capacity can scale. Public health agencies manage vast amounts of data across disconnected systems. Administrative tasks consume time that healthcare staff would rather spend on patient care.
These operational realities create opportunities for technology to make a meaningful difference. Leading healthcare organizations are already transforming these challenges into improved outcomes through strategic technology deployments enabled by streamlined procurement.

- Unified data platforms enable more than 80% of emergency departments to share real-time data with the CDC.
- Automated workflows cut processing times by 50%, freeing staff for patient care.
- Zero Trust security protects patient data while enabling hybrid cloud operations.
- Streamlined procurement accelerates deployment from months to weeks.
AI-Powered Diagnostics: Addressing the Radiology Crisis
By 2023 the U.S. faces a shortage of up to 42,000 radiologists as imaging volumes rise 5% annually while residency positions increase just 2%.
At Northwestern Medicine, Dr. Mozziyar Etemadi, Clinical Director of Advanced Technologies, deployed a generative AI solution with Dell Technologies and NVIDIA that analyzes chest X-rays and generates draft reports instantaneously. Results: radiology efficiency improved by up to 40% without compromising diagnostic accuracy. The system flagged unexpected pneumothorax cases with 72.7% sensitivity and 99.9% specificity – lifesaving in emergency settings.
The technology runs on Dell PowerEdge XE9680 servers with NVIDIA H100 GPUs, deployed on premises to maintain HIPAA compliance. Northwestern is now developing predictive models for entire electronic records.
Public Health Surveillance: Rapid Outbreak Response
The CDC faced a critical challenge: essential health data trapped in disconnected silos across thousands of facilities.
The CDC’s partnership with Cloudera created a unified platform consolidating data from hospitals, laboratories and wastewater testing sites. More than 80% of non-federal emergency departments now send data to CDC, enabling comprehensive threat monitoring. When measles spiked across 15 states in 2025, officials had integrated visualizations within days.
The CDC’s One CDC Data Platform (1CDP), established in 2024, provides state, tribal, local and territorial agencies with streamlined access to core datasets and analytics, enabling faster disease trend detection and proactive strategies.
Accelerating Cancer Research Collaboration
The National Cancer Institute partnered with Google Cloud and Barnacle AI to introduce NanCI – a platform leveraging AI-driven recommendations to connect researchers with collaboration opportunities, literature and events. The solution demonstrates how AI extends beyond clinical care to accelerate scientific discovery across Government, Education and Healthcare sectors.
Operational Excellence: Freeing Caregivers to Care
Workforce coordination: Healthcare organizations use BlackBerry AtHoc, available through Carahsoft’s reseller network and contract vehicles, to streamline staffing and scheduling processes. The event management platform helps ensure personnel are coordinated efficiently across departments which is essential for maintaining high standards of patient care.
Financial automation: Community Health Centers of Florida implemented Laserfiche’s enterprise content management system, cutting processing time by 50% and eliminating manual data entry. “I cannot fathom processing the current volume of invoices ‘the old way,’” said Dee Bradshaw, director of purchasing. “Laserfiche has cut our processing time in half.”
Every hour freed from administrative burdens is an hour caregivers get back to spend with their patients.
Modern, Secure Infrastructure
California Department of State Hospitals deployed Rubrik’s data management platform to integrate legacy systems with modern hybrid cloud environments. Rubrik’s Zero Trust Data Security framework minimized ransomware vulnerability while ensuring Federal compliance.
St. Luke’s University Healthcare Network used Rubrik for faster backups, near-instant recovery and seamless hybrid IT integration, strengthening cyber defenses while freeing IT staff to support clinical teams.
Federal agencies, State and Local Governments and Education institutions face similar Zero Trust security and hybrid cloud integration requirements.
