UMass Memorial Health Announces Unified Data Platform Multi-Year Initiative, Investments in AI-Powered Innovation in Partnership with Accenture and Microsoft

Eric Dickson, President and CEO, UMass Memorial Health

“As an academic health system and safety net provider, we are continuously looking for new ways to provide innovative care that meets the unique needs of our patients and supports the work of our talented caregivers. This partnership with Accenture and Microsoft will help us build a stronger foundation for how we deliver care today and in the future. Bringing our data together and moving key systems to the cloud will give caregivers faster access to the information they need and create a better experience for the patients we serve.”

Mike Weissel, Global Health Lead, Accenture

“This work is grounded in a simple idea: when healthcare providers have better access to insights, they deliver better care. Every part of this strategy, from the cloud foundation to the data platform to new AI tools, makes that possible for UMass Memorial.”

Hether Danforth, Vice President, US State and Local Government, Education & Academic Medical Centers, Microsoft

“Academic medical centers and health systems face growing pressure to connect clinical, operational and research data while maintaining security, enabling innovation and preparing for AI at scale. With Microsoft Azure, UMass Memorial Health and Accenture are creating a trusted foundation that can help clinicians access insights more efficiently, strengthen collaboration across care and research, and responsibly apply AI to improve experiences for both patients and healthcare professionals.”
