Healthcare is becoming more personal -- and providers are using analytics, big data, and collaboration software to learn more about the care, support, and treatment their patients require and want.

To deliver on this consumerization of healthcare, providers' employees must have the power and autonomy to query, research, and securely access patients' data in their quest for answers. It's one reason SAP successfully targeted healthcare with Hana, which combines database, data processing, and application platform capabilities in-memory, according to executives at this week's Sapphire Now event in Orlando.
