Healthcare IT News: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services plans to increase the adoption rate of cloud services this year from 18.5 percent to 30 percent of its systems, HHS Chief Information Officer Beth Killoran said Tuesday during a Federal News Radio online interview.
HHS became the first federal agency to authorize a cloud service provider through the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program in May 2013. Killoran said cloud adoption went from 1 percent in 2015 to 18.5 percent in 2016 -- including an HHS financial system upgrade.
The agency currently uses a dozen approved cloud service providers.
