benefits of cloud computing without compromising on
security. Healthcare is moving to a digital platform and
focusing more on patients. While using cloud
computing, healthcare consumers must have a clear
understanding of unique benefits and risks associated
with cloud computing, and set genuine expectations
with their cloud provider.
4. Privacy :
Data maintained in a cloud
contains personal, private and
confidential information such
as healthcare related
information that requires the
proper safeguards to prevent
disclosure and misuse.
Use Modern Tools :
The easiest way to bridge the
gap between existing
integration and the new cloud
based interfaces is to use tools
that are specifically designed to
do that. But many organizations
are not open for the change and
tend to reuse technology from
past.
5. Security :
In healthcare industry cloud
computing security concerns
are real, especially considering
the entire complex data held by
healthcare organizations. That’s
why it’s important to choose
vendors intelligently and
perform a detailed examination
of service providers’ security
practices.
Internet connection :
The basic requirement of cloud
based healthcare offering is
reliable wireless internet
connection. Many countries still
face the poor internet
connection.
6. How cloud computing with
Mobility and Analytic will
change the Healthcare Industry
7. 1. Helping ensure seamless personalized care
anywhere in the world through secure data
sharing.
2. Transforming access to health services in
emerging market without lot of investment in
hospitals and clinics.
3. Creating the agility for providers and
insurers to collaborate at low cost and high
speed, meet changing guidelines and deliver
improved patient services.
9. Clinical Research :
Currently, pharmaceutical firms do
not have the capacity to run large
datasets as the size of the data can
overwhelm their computers.
Commercial cloud vendors have
established pharma-specific clinical
research cloud offerings with the
goal of lowering the cost and
development of new drugs.
10. Electronic medical report :
Hospital and physicians have
started looking at cloud based
medical records as they want to
offload a burden from their IT
department.
11. Tele Medicines :
With the increase in availability of
mobile technologies and intelligent
medical devices, telemedicine has
grown to include not only
consultation on telephones but also
health record exchange, video-
conferencing, and home monitoring.
12. Big Data :
Healthcare and pharma
organizations are adapting cloud
computing to save on the cost of
storing hardware locally. The cloud
holds big data for radiology images
for clinical drug trials. They include
clinical data, prescription data of
patients, laboratory data, data from
pharmacy and insurance
departments.
13. Availability of healthcare services
in remote Places:
Healthcare providers can deploy
mobile devices that could be linked
to the cloud platform, and monitor
patients in remote locations, thereby
reducing costs incurred by patient
visits.
14. Cloud computing is in the early
adoption state in the healthcare
industry, but technologies are
available and ready to be deployed.
The need to minimize the costs in
the healthcare industry ecosystem is
a key factor for the adoption of cloud
computing.
