Section A: Organization Description
Our company Cruise Medium clinic is in Dallas, Tx. Currently, we have around 15 medical clinics located in different parts of the city, and we also have plans to expand in the future to other cities to provide accessible and high-quality medical care to a variety of vast patient populations. Our clinics range in size from small to medium, with the largest branch having over 15 examination rooms and an on-site laboratory for diagnostic testing. During covid Our clinics have not been able to keep up with the demand of patients booking and accessing their medical files online. The technology of cloud computing has several advantages for the healthcare sector. It enables the virtualization of data storage and access, as well as remote access to software and computational resources from anywhere in the world over the internet. Numerous advantages of cloud computing in healthcare exist, including improved productivity, enhanced patient care, and cost savings. We will examine how cloud computing is changing the healthcare sector in this white paper.
Article 1: Healthcare big data processing mechanisms: The role of cloud computing
Increased efficiency is one of the main advantages of cloud computing for the healthcare industry. Healthcare practitioners may quickly access and exchange patient data and medical records utilizing cloud-based technologies from any location at any time (Rajabion, Lila, et al). As a result, there is no longer a need to physically store records, and the chance of losing or misplacing crucial data is decreased. The flexibility to scale resources up or down as needed, which lowers costs and enables healthcare providers to more efficiently manage resources, is another key benefit of cloud computing. The safety and privacy of patient information are further ensured by the additional security measures and data encryption provided by cloud-based solutions (Dang, Minh, et al). In terms of patient care, cloud computing also provides several important advantages. Healthcare practitioners, for instance, may simply and rapidly access patient data and medical records utilizing cloud-based solutions, enabling more effective and efficient treatment. Telemedicine, which facilitates remote care delivery and enhances access to healthcare services, may also be advantageous to patients.
Article 2: Security and privacy-preserving challenges of e-health solutions in cloud computing
The healthcare sector has several uses for cloud computing, including telemedicine, electronic health records (EHR), and medical imaging. Telemedicine enables healthcare professionals to give patients with remote care, making healthcare services more practical and available. Patients who reside in rural or distant places, where access to healthcare services may be restricted, should pay particular attention to this. EHRs are also gaining popularity in the healthcare sector. EHRs give medical professionals a consolidated platform for managing, storing, and sharing patient data. As a result, therapy may be more effectively coordinated, which can enhance the quality of care. EHRs can also aid in lowering mistakes and duplications in medical care, improving patient outcomes. The healthcare sector is likewise undergoing a revolution because of cloud-based medical imaging tools (Chenthara, Shekha, et al). A faster and more accurate diagnosis and course of treatment are possible because of the more effective storage and availability of medical images including X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans.
Article 3: Context matters: A review of the determinant factors in the decision to adopt cloud computing in healthcare.
The future of cloud computing is expected to be shaped by several emerging technologies and trends (Gao, Fangjian & Ali Sunyaev). For instance, edge computing, which includes processing data more closely to its source, is probably going to proliferate. Organizations will be able to handle data in real-time even in distant or offline areas thanks to this. It is expected that the usage of cloud computing will continue to rise as more businesses become aware of its advantages. This trend is being driven by reasons including the expanding desire for flexible and affordable computing solutions, the expanding value of data, and the expanding need for digital transformation. Cloud computing will also continue to integrate with other technologies, such as artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, and blockchain. This integration will make it possible for organizations to use cloud computing to support a wide range of new applications and services, and to extract even more value from their data. The advantages of cloud computing, which is a quickly developing technology, include scalability, dependability, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and security. Public, private, hybrid, and community clouds are just a few of the several cloud computing models available. Each model has its advantages and disadvantages. With technological developments, rising acceptance, and technological integration, cloud computing is anticipated to continue to develop.
Conclusion
Let’s sum up by saying that cloud computing is a cutting-edge technology with huge promise for the healthcare sector. It offers higher effectiveness, enhanced patient care, and cost savings. Telemedicine, electronic health records, and medical imaging are just a few of the applications that healthcare practitioners may employ cloud-based systems. We may anticipate considerable gains in patient outcomes and the provision of healthcare services as the sector continues to utilize cloud computing. By allowing better patient outcomes and more coordinated and efficient care, as well as by lowering costs, cloud computing has the potential to completely transform the healthcare sector. With so many cutting-edge innovations and emerging trends, cloud computing has a promising future. Businesses that use cloud computing will be well-positioned to compete in the digital era and seize new possibilities as they present themselves.
