Phoenix, AZ is in the process of becoming the largest health-care data center in the world. The Institute for Advanced Health, when completed, will use fiber optics, wireless networks and “cloud storage” to create a central database to store patient information that would be accessible nationally and eventually globally. This datacenter will allow all sectors involved in the health-care industry such as research organizations, physician groups, hospitals, third party payers and patients to access releasable data more quickly to help make research or clinical decisions.

The Institute is expected to complement and grow the bioscience industry in Arizona and especially the immediate Phoenix area. It is expected that with the opening of the Institute the bioscience industry will see a huge expansions of job opportunities.

JE Hamilton & Associates is based in the Phoenix area and we agree that the Institute could possibly help increase Arizona’s standing in the research and biotech and health care communities.  The Institute for Advanced Health would allow more precision in prescribing the right medication at the right time for the condition at hand. It will allow hospitals to access pertinent data when a patient is admitted.  With the growing focus of biopharmaceuticals geared specifically for individuals, diagnosis with complete patient information is vital.  Overall, the system would allow for better patient care.

We welcome the Institute for Advanced Health to our Valley of the Sun and look forward to the positive benefits that will be available locally and the health care industry nationally.
