Connected, Protected, Intelligent: Reengineering Healthcare Infrastructure for a New Era

For leading organizations, the care delivery model defines the infrastructure strategy — not the other way around. It’s not about squeezing new tools into old systems but building the system around where care is going. Far from just keeping the lights on, today’s infrastructure decisions are inseparable from care transformation, workforce innovation, digital competitiveness. To remain agile, safe, and intelligent, health systems must treat infrastructure as a strategic imperative, not a sunk cost.

Powered by CHIME’s Digital Health Insights and sponsored by Spectrum Business®, this paper will explore the ways in which healthcare leaders can transform their infrastructure from basic pipes-and-plumbing to a dynamic central nervous system that seamlessly enables better outcomes, greater efficiencies, and a more innovative approach to sustainability. Throughout this paper, we’ll explore how next-generation infrastructure is built in layers — with security, connectivity, and intelligence working together as an interdependent stack. Remove one, and the system falters.
