Why Cloud is the Next Big Thing in the Healthcare Industry?
The healthcare industry has seen a significant rise over the past few years. The growth that has taken place in leaps and bounds is mainly because of the phenomenal development of patient safety solutions. Technological enhancements in performing diagnoses, registering proper treatment and keeping medical records in hospitals and healthcare agencies have made sure that patients can get cured without any delay or complication.
The 3 sectors discussed above are very vital elements when it comes to offering effective healthcare services. And there was only one way by which all these elements could improve at such tremendous rates within the span of just a few years: “faster responses in critical conditions”. And this change was brought forward with the advent of clinical cloud computing.
Different patients have different requirements. And doctors often need to share information (like, diagnosis reports) over a span of large geographical areas quickly. Going cloud makes the treatment procedure simpler and less time consuming. It has made it easier to treat patients by accessing necessary data from absolutely any device.
Cloud-based treatment has helped both patients and the healthcare industry equally. Let’s look at its impact on both the sectors in details.
Benefits for Patients:
I’ve already mentioned earlier that clinical cloud computing results in faster responses. Previously, it was a frustrating period for patients who waited for days to get protein folding, RNA sequence or blood test results. Now, they can access the reports quickly from the Cloud. But this is just the tip of the iceberg, you see? Cloud solutions make sure that data analysis is performed more accurately and at a cheaper cost. Nowadays, patients can also download healthcare assistants, like the electronic health record software, and keep a tab on their health on the go.
Benefits for Healthcare Industry:
Apart from helping in pin-point diagnosis at less amount of time, the biggest benefit the healthcare industry has received from clinical cloud computing is the storage. Going cloud has made it safer to store patient information and access all the data quickly. The traditional legacy systems have got replaced with more reliable and convenient processes. All the data collected from patients (which previously were printed on paper and stored in folders) can be transferred directly to the Cloud. This means that the chances of any error or mishap are minimal. In short, now it takes a lesser amount of time to manage client systems and a great deal of focus can be spent on delivering a more effective care.
The introduction of electronic health records, steadily becoming the standard for record keeping in the healthcare industry, is just the start though. With the way technology is developing, we can surely hope that cloud applications will soon influence pharmacy systems, laboratory information systems, communication systems, and physician order entry. Patients will receive a more reliable, individualized care with all the coordinated data accessed via the Cloud.
