Meet new healthcare challenges head on
The healthcare landscape is evolving. Your organization must comply with changes associated with the Affordable Care Act and new regulations, connect to the wider healthcare community, overhaul inefficient business models, and cut costs—all while delivering safe, quality patient care.
What's the quickest and most effective way to respond to these changes? With a secure, open IT infrastructure. And as the world's leading enterprise open source provider, Red Hat has the expertise to build it for you or integrate our solutions into your existing environment.
Benefits
Open source helps healthcare get better
In a 2012 Gatepoint Research survey, many healthcare executives said proprietary systems are negatively impacting IT, making it hard to address healthcare priorities. Unlike proprietary solutions, open source software is collaboratively created by hundreds of thousands of developers–including the very people from the healthcare industry who use and improve the software to meet their needs.
Our open source development model is a rapid, highly innovative, and cost-efficient approach to making software that's well-suited to the critical IT demands of the healthcare industry.

Integrate and automate
Accelerate, integrate, automate
Red Hat JBoss® Middleware facilitates and simplifies the exchange of health information through seamless integration and automation. You can develop, deploy, and manage applications on-premise or in the cloud, and use our service-oriented architecture (SOA) integration and messaging technologies to integrate the healthcare community.
Scale
When change happens, you'll be ready
Red Hat Virtualization is optimized for major hypervisors (including Microsoft and VMware) and hardware, letting you scale to meet constantly changing healthcare needs.
Healthcare is a 24-hours-a-day, 365-days-a-year industry. Stability is essential for us — and Red Hat Enterprise Linux provides that.
