Dell joined a growing chorus of IT companies trying to grab a bigger slice of the market for digital health care records.

The computer maker announced a series of partnerships on Monday aimed at bolstering its health care chops. At the high-end, the company announced a strategic alliance with Perot Systems aimed at selling to hospitals, health systems, and physician practices. At the low-end, Dell said Sam’s Club will start selling a system for doctors to manage their records electronically, combining Dell hardware and software from eClincalWorks.

The announcements come at the start of a healthcare technology trade show this week in Chicago. The show is drawing particular attention this year because of the billions of dollars in federal stimulus money being targeted at the digitization of medical records.

Well done to Dell, providing IT infrastructure to the health sector, not only creates opportunities for revenue, but with the right solutions in place can provide a transformed patient experience. Being able to get the information on demand when it’s needed most, can be an important aspect of the treatment process, and can assist in delivery of these invaluable services. An interesting read, do check it out.
