The Power of Cloud-based
What:
All software and information is stored on an online network – “the cloud” –
with the Internet as the point of access for users.
Why:
• Cost effective
• No infrastructure to maintain
• Resource sharing – information more readily available
• Secure – May be the most secure model available in healthcare
because it can scale for the highest level of security protocols
• HIPAA-ready cloud servers are highly secure and flexible
