Cloud computing in health care: Assessing the fit for your organization
Cloud computing in health care: Assessing the fit for your organization
Guest post by: Chris Witt, CEO, WAKE Technology Services
Does the cloud work for health care?
The cloud is here and from a technology perspective it is fairly mature. However, from a vertical perspective – health care in this case – it is not always an easy technology to plug in. Health care organizations are treading slowly and testing the waters with some non-PHI applications such as email. There are a number of considerations before taking the leap into the cloud.
Like any major technology change in an organization, due diligence is critical to help you define your requirements, understand your options and ensure all expectations are met. Surprises are never good. If this isn’t your normal procedure, it should be! The approach to cloud computing is no different than approaching any other technology you are considering for the organization.
