The Intersection of Healthcare and Cloud Computing : A New Era of Data Management

Abstract

Cloud computing has emerged as a transformative force in healthcare, revolutionizing the way data is stored, accessed, and shared. Cloud technologies are being harnessed by healthcare organizations to make data more accessible, to facilitate greater collaboration, and to reduce costs-all while ensuring the security and compliance of the data. This article will discuss the interface between healthcare and cloud computing, with particular attention to benefits, challenges, and future directions for cloud-based solutions. It will further debate key cloud applications in healthcare, such as EHRs, telemedicine, and predictive analytics, discuss ethical considerations, security measures, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of cloud-driven healthcare systems.
