"We are committed to creating better patient outcomes by providing UCLA Health with Microsoft Azure cloud and AI solutions to improve treatments and lives," said Peter Lee, corporate vice president, Microsoft Healthcare. "By connecting health data and systems in the cloud in an interoperable way, we're excited we can help advance health care data for more efficient and personalized care."
The Azure platform employs industry-leading technology to help protect and secure sensitive data, allowing UCLA Health to continue to ensure compliance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA. Patient data in UCLA Health's platform will not be shared with Microsoft as part of this agreement.

"Another advantage of cloud computing is the way it enables UCLA researchers to more efficiently and securely work with their peers," said Paul Boutros, Ph.D., director of Cancer Data Science at UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center.
"Cloud computing will allow researchers from different fields and institutions to collaborate, joining data sets and software from different formats that could not previously be integrated in a simple way," Boutros said. "We're bringing together new communities of experts — including computer scientists, engineers, material scientists and others — to solve the biggest health care questions. This platform allows us to provide our research collaborators with secure access to important data in one place, without moving sensitive, private health information."
The platform's capabilities will also enable UCLA Health to use predictive analytics, or the analysis of historical data to model and assess what might happen in the future, to aid in disease prevention.
