Very interesting - The company posted a job opening for a HIPAA Compliance Lead as part of the Alexa Information group earlier this year, but the post has since been removed.
Most doctors find the EMR process inefficient and time-consuming, as it requires medical professionals to manually take down information. Alexa could integrate into EMRs and become a passive note taker during visits.
Amazon’s approach allows other companies to outsource parts of their businesses that are messy and outside their main focus. This can happen on multiple fronts, impacting:
Payers — Amazon can handle the claims and marketplace so companies can focus on offering their services.
Providers — Amazon can handle documentation into the EMR or coordinating buying and transporting supplies.
Pharma/Biotech — Amazon can run the actual experiments so researchers can focus on experiment design and analysis; or Amazon can handle the packaging, tracking, and transportation for larger d–g manufacturers.
