# HIMSS report: Improving Patient Outcomes

Cook Children’s Health Care System has automated 78 workflows — spanning clinical, HR, legal, accounts payable and more — that previously were manual. The Texas-based health system also built 11 applications with low-code technology, which has improved performance and compliance.

[With Hyland’s help](https://www.hyland.com/en/customers/cook-childrens), Cook’s Children’s has realized care and efficiency goals — outcomes that are desired by healthcare organizations around the world. HIMSS Market Insights’ State of Interoperability and Connected Care report showed that improving patient outcomes (59%) and optimizing clinical workflows and performance (47%) are the [top objectives](https://www.hyland.com/en/resources/downloads/himss-interoperability-infographic) of health systems.

This report from HIMSS explores how Cook Children’s overcame its interoperability challenges by closing care gaps and [improving workflow efficiency](https://www.hyland.com/en/resources/articles/how-to-improve-efficiency-in-clinical-operation). Download the whitepaper to learn:
