With increasing demands on healthcare technology, choosing a cloud-based solution over on-premises infrastructure allows enhanced security, seamless accessibility as well as extra flexibility in the future. Olivier Goudon outlines the capabilities of cloud architecture for healthcare processes, while also meeting the considerable challenges of GDPR when handling patient data.
When it comes to the types of clinical information systems that healthcare providers use on a daily basis, organisations typically have two key options available to them.
The first is that they can choose to build their own on-premises infrastructure, keeping everything entirely in house, and maintaining everything themselves. This certainly offers the deep sense of control that is important in healthcare environments, but it’s also enormously expensive for a variety of reasons. On-site systems generally need extra resources and security to make sure that private patient information is safe and stays that way.
The second option is cloud-based storage – a solution that houses everything in an off-site data centre which natively offers the security a healthcare organisation needs, coupled with the freedom to access data anywhere, anytime when needed, and on virtually any device.
