WellSpan Completes AWS Migration to Power AI Across 300 Clinical Applications

WellSpan Health has completed the migration of its technology portfolio to Amazon Web Services (AWS), moving more than 300 clinical applications and 7.5 petabytes of clinical and non-clinical data to the cloud in a project the health system said was completed in 17 weeks.

The transition includes WellSpan's full Epic electronic medical record (EMR) environment and marks the organization's move away from a data center-based infrastructure. The health system said the migration establishes a unified data foundation for deploying artificial intelligence (AI) across its operations, including medicine, nursing, cardiology, pharmacy, and supply chain.

The announcement marks the completion of a cloud transformation initiative WellSpan first unveiled in January, when it partnered with AWS to modernize its technology infrastructure and prepare for broader AI adoption.

"The milestone is not the end of a technology project, but rather the cornerstone of our next phase of innovation," Roxanna Gapstur, PhD, RN, President and CEO of WellSpan Health, said in the announcement. "The cloud will serve as the critical element to help us deliver on our commitments to our teams and our patients."
