Within the healthcare industry, a hot topic of discussion is centered around patient engagement. To improve this performance metric, many healthcare leaders aim to enhance the patient experience by establishing a full 360-degree view of the patient. Additionally, an increased patient engagement driven by industry expertise will result in better overall health outcomes.
In order to achieve this goal, many healthcare organizations are turning to Microsoft PowerApps. PowerApps help turn ideas into organizational solutions by enabling employees to build custom apps that solve everyday business challenges. Now is the time for your organization to be equipped with the right tools to respond and recover against shifting healthcare landscapes.
What are Power Apps?
According to Microsoft’s description, PowerApps is a suite of apps, services, and connectors, as well as a data platform, that provides a rapid development environment to build custom apps for your business needs.
Power Apps is a tool to make data utilization much simpler. Using Power Apps, you can quickly build custom business apps that connect to your data stored either in the underlying data platform or in various online and on-premises data sources. PowerApps also provides capabilities to transform your manual business operations into digital, automated processes. PowerApps is a much more accessible resource to an organization’s employees; the application building process is more straightforward and does not require writing code.
Power Apps provides an extensive platform that lets developers programmatically interact with data and metadata. It also allows for the developers to integrate external data. Dynamics 365 apps (such as Dynamics 365 Sales, Dynamics 365 Customer Service, and Dynamics 365 Marketing) also use the underlying Dataverse platform used by Power Apps to store and secure data. In other words, this allows for your organization to build apps that work with your core business, without the need for integration.
Benefits of using Power Apps
Agility
We all know building new business applications and software, or even updating existing software can be extremely time consuming and taxing. One way to combat this problem is using Power Apps. Microsoft PowerApps can drastically increase the speed of delivering new business applications and software solutions.
Building PowerApps is substantially easier since learning PowerApps is more efficient than learning to code. PowerApps also utilize connections to multiple SaaS applications, which reduces the time needed to build the applications and increases their agility and mobility.
Cost savings
Time is money. Because PowerApps are much simpler to build, there is an inherent reduction in development costs for these solutions. The savings realized on each application project can then be reallocated to other projects that require funding. Finally, faster implementations and iterations yield faster results and a higher ROI.
