AT&T Inc. 19
TRANSFORMING INDUSTRIES, CREATING
THE FUTURE AT&T’s laser focus on innovation,
coupled with our collaboration with the best
minds, leads to solutions that help transform
entire industries. We’re particularly proud that
we’re improving productivity and bettering the
lives of millions of people through our work
with organizations in the healthcare, energy
and education arenas.
Healthcare AT&T has worked with large
hospital systems and smaller care delivery
organizations for decades. And today, we’re
helping deliver better care to patients across
the nation — including through quicker, cloud-
enabled access to medical images and fast,
highly secure electronic sharing of medical
records. As a result, healthcare was a $5 billion
revenue stream for us in 2011.
The AT&T ForHealth practice area addresses
a challenge facing the healthcare industry:
Most patients rely on a series of individual
practitioners — doctors, nurses, pharmacists
and others — who too often work in isolation.
We’re improving the quality of care, and
reducing costs, by offering providers a
portfolio of cloud-based solutions that
make more integrated care possible.
For example, Baylor Health Care System
is one of many organizations working with
AT&T to improve patient care by creating an
enterprise health information exchange —
AT&T Healthcare Community Online (HCO).
HCO provides highly secure, virtually anytime,
anywhere access to such patient information as
medical history and current medications. And
that includes access on smartphones and tablets.
Greater access to this data will better enable
doctors to diagnose and treat patients at the
point of care.
“Each year we see millions of patients in more
than 250 locations,” says Billy Hensley, an
IT director for Baylor. “We have to earn their
trust every day, and we work hard to provide
our staff the tools they need to provide quality
care to our patients.
AT&T Chief Medical
Information Officer
(CMIO) Dr. Geeta
Nayyar is helping us
revolutionize the delivery
of healthcare to patients
across the U.S. (She is
