This blog post is co-authored by Trent Norris, Cloud and Data Partner Alliances, HLS.

This blog is part of a series in collaboration with our partners and customers leveraging the newly announced Azure Health Data Services. Azure Health Data Services, a platform as a service (PaaS) offering designed exclusively to support Protected Health Information (PHI) in the cloud, is a new way of working with unified data—providing care teams with a platform to support both transactional and analytical workloads from the same data store and enabling cloud computing to transform how we develop and deliver AI across the healthcare ecosystem.

Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare and the Azure Health Data Services product engineering team are committed to global patient health information interoperability. We believe interoperability is table stakes to unlock and derive a more comprehensive assessment of the available clinical evidence.

In order to accomplish this connected interoperable data flow, we have built Azure Health Data Services around HL7v2, CCDA, FHIR, DICOM, and other connected standards and common schemas. Aligning to these common standards and schemas enables Microsoft’s partner-led strategy and GTM engagement with organizations that include but aren’t limited to openEHR, Better, EY, and EPAM.

Azure Health Data Services is the first of its kind to unify diverse data types in the same data store at the patient level as you bring it into the cloud, which means you can view structured, unstructured, and imaging data together for a holistic, real-time view—in just minutes. With the service, you can search and query across your data using a unified Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR®) structure and deploy a suite of services to connect it rapidly to the technology you need. Whether you’re blending patient data with population health data sets for AI development and analytics, visualizing data for operational efficiencies, deploying patient engagement tools for personalized care, or querying imaging metadata alongside clinical data using our new DICOMcast feature, Azure Health Data Services work with your existing systems to enhance what you’re doing today. It’s also built on open standards to ensure you can support new solutions and innovations yet to come.

We are major supporters and members of the openEHR foundation. We believe their commitment to open specifications, clinical models, and software that can be used to create and build solutions for healthcare is closely aligned to our mission here at Microsoft. Providing rich pipelines for the data into the cloud, where you can integrate analytical tools such as Azure Synapse or Data Bricks with healthcare’s transactional systems of record. We believe FHIR (with SMART on FHIR) is the standard that complements openEHR by acting as the USB exchange connector that will standardize access for other Microsoft Azure Services and FHIR application ecosystems.

Do more with your data with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare

With Azure Health Data Services, health organizations can transform their patient experience, discover new insights with the power of machine learning and AI, and manage PHI data with confidence. Enable your data for the future of healthcare innovation with Microsoft Cloud for Healthcare.

We look forward to being your partner as you build the future of health.

8 Organizations Supporting the LGBTQ+ Tech Community

8 Organizations Supporting the LGBTQ+ Tech Community
June is Pride Month. And while it’s time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, it’s also an important reminder that diversity within the workforce remains an ongoing challenge within tech (as well as many other industries) for LGBTQ+ people. To help face that challenge, we want to highlight eight amazing organizations that are helping to support the LGBTQ+ tech community.

1. Out in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (oSTEM)
A non-profit professional association for LGBTQ+ people in the STEM community. With over 100 student chapters at colleges/universities and professional chapters in cities across the United States and abroad, oSTEM is the largest chapter-based organization focused on LGBTQ+ people in STEM. oSTEM empowers LGBTQ+ people in STEM to succeed personally, academically, and professionally by cultivating environments and communities that nurture innovation, leadership, and advocacy.
2. TransTech Social Enterprises
An incubator for LGBTQ+ Talent with a focus on economically empowering the T, transgender people, in our community. They provide training, mentorship, and employment opportunities both in person and online for their members.
3. Out for Undergrad (O4U)
An organization that holds major conferences for LGBTQ+ students. Students are able to network, learn from professionals, and participate in career fairs. Participation for students is also free as the cost of airfare, lodging, and the conferences are covered by participating employers.
4. Lesbians Who Tech
A community of LGBTQ+ women, non-binary, and trans indviduals in and around tech (and the people who support them). The goals of Lesbians Who Tech are to be more visible to each other, to be more visible to others, to get more women, POC, and queer and trans people in technology, and to connect the community to other organizations and companies that are doing incredible work. Each year, they hold a summit focused on technology and offer a scholarship for LGBTQ+ women in coding that covers 50% of tuition for a coding school program.
5. Out in Tech
The world’s largest non-profit community of LGBTQ+ tech leaders. They create opportunities for their 40,000 members to advance their careers, grow their networks, and leverage tech for social change. Their Out in Tech U Mentorship program pairs LGBTQ+ youth with tech professionals to provide both technical and professional skills.
6. LGBTQ in Technology
A space for LGBTQ+ people in technology to chat and support each other. They strive to keep it safe, positive, and confidential. The Slack channel is open to anybody who identifies as lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming, queer, and those questioning whether they fit into those or any of the many other sub-genres of people who aren’t generally considered both “straight” and cis.
7. Out to Innovate
An organization that empowers LGBTQ+ individuals in STEM by providing education, advocacy, professional development, networking, and peer support.
They educate all communities regarding scientific, technological, and medical concerns of LGBTQ+ people.
8. Pride in STEM
A charity run by an independent group of LGBTQ+ scientists & engineers from around the world. They aim to showcase and support all LGBTQ+ people in STEM fields.Their goal has been to raise the profile of LGBTQ+ people in science, technology, engineering, and math/medicine (STEM) as well as to highlight the struggles LGBTQ+ STEM people often face.
We celebrate all members of the LGBTQ+ community
In the Docker community, we know the importance of bringing your whole self to everything you do, and we embrace what makes each of us unique. We’re proud of all LGBTQ+ members in our community, and celebrate you for who you are.
We also want to support the LGBTQ+ tech community. That’s why, in honor of Pride month, we’re making a donation to each of the organizations listed above.
To everyone in the LGBTQ+ tech community: Thank you. And we’re glad to have you here.
