The last year was challenging for every business sector, and none more than healthcare which was under enormous pressure to provide care while changing the way many services are delivered.

According to data from a Redgate Software report, the importance of IT in enabling and facilitating that change has been key to success for the healthcare sector, with DevOps adoption, cloud use and cross-platform database development all increasing markedly.

The survey of over 3,000 IT professionals from every industry sector in the US, Europe and the Asia Pacific provides a deeper dive into the differences and similarities that exist across and between industry sectors, with fascinating insights emerging for those in healthcare.

73% of those in healthcare have now adopted DevOps, which is up from 70% in 2019 and a dramatic difference to 2017 when the average take-up across all sectors was just 47%. Cloud adoption in healthcare also saw a sharp increase, rising from 42% in 2020 to 55% in 2021.

The research also uncovered emerging differences from IT teams in the healthcare sector who are introducing a DevOps approach as part of their digital transformation initiatives when compared with other sectors.

Like all sectors, increasing the speed of delivery of databases changes and freeing up developer time for more added-value work are the top drivers for introducing automation and other DevOps approaches to database development.
