This is a little bit of a "how long is a string?" question - the answer is it depends on the level of service and compliance rigor you are seeking, and to what level you are looking to offload the actual environment deployment and management. Different providers provide different levels of service, from simple access to resources that you can deploy in a compliant way (AWS) to actual compliant environments and services (a la Rackspace) where you are buying a service not a platform. There are other providers that fit in either end or on either side of that spectrum. I am not affiliated with a provider in any way. Just my .02.

Using AWS for HIPAA applications means following some general strategies, such as:• Decoupling protected data from processing/orchestration• Tracking where data flows using automation• Have logical boundaries between protected and general workflowshttps://aws.amazon.com/compliance/hipaa-eligible-services-reference/

I think the Citrix-Azure is the best platform for healthcare. The environment meets all strict standards for HIPAA and provides an excellent security layer for individual profile authorizations. Happy to assist further, as my company has many healthcare clients virtualizing their apps with Citrix and Azure.

Moderately inclined: I'm open to innovation and change, but only if it clearly enhances or adds value to the existing systems47%

Not inclined: If the current systems are working effectively, I prefer to maintain stability and avoid unnecessary changes5%

I work for a company with geographically dispersed operations, and we are facing significant challenges with our data collection and reporting processes for HSE (Health, Safety, and Environment). We collect a variety of environmental data (e.g., water quality indexes, equipment training compliance) from multiple sites. Our current data collection application has critical governance gaps. When an indicator shows a deviation, we struggle to trace its origin because the system lacks a clear audit trail. We cannot confidently verify who entered the data or when, which undermines the reliability of our HSE indicators. Furthermore, our data collection forms are rigid. Any request to add or modify fields requires our development team, leading to significant delays and hindering our ability to adapt to new requirements quickly. Questions: 1. How do you ensure robust data governance for HSE indicators? What tools or best practices have you found effective? 2. Have you successfully empowered your business or HSE teams to create and modify data collection forms without developer dependency? If so, what low-code/no-code platforms or solutions do you recommend?

How does your platform team gather feedback on what they build? Is it ad hoc or is there a formal process for hearing from developers?
