Why Health Systems Are Moving IT Infrastructure to the Cloud in 2026
TechTarget, Tuesday, August 4th, 2026
Healthcare systems adopt varied cloud strategies driven by AI needs and infrastructure modernization.
Healthcare organizations are pursuing different cloud infrastructure strategies based on their specific priorities and technical requirements.
WellSpan completed a comprehensive migration to AWS, Seattle Children's adopted a multi-cloud approach, and CHOP established a cloud-first policy with exceptions.
Key drivers include improved cloud economics, AI capability demands, and the need to unlock data for innovation.
Successful migrations require strong organizational alignment, standardized processes, workforce training, and realistic timelines rather than purely technical solutions.
