Healthcare is joining the masses as it moves its data to the cloud. For years, healthcare providers have been working to manage the cost and operational impact of a growing population and the resulting increase in inpatient data. At the same time, the demand for real-time access to complete patient records, the need to adhere to new regulatory and compliance requirements, and the need to secure and protect patient data from cybersecurity threats, has forced administrators to continually adapt to changing conditions.
These changes include the ongoing deployment of new technology to support growth and new regulations, maintenance of existing systems, and the effort and time-intensive decommissioning and disposal of legacy systems due to obsolescence.
The cloud offers reduced costs and increased security and is ideally suited for meeting the changing IT infrastructure needs of healthcare organizations. Historically the healthcare industry seems to lag behind other industries when it comes to adopting new technologies. Moving to the cloud is no exception.
Post pandemic, Healthcare IT leaders are starting to overcome two obstacles around cloud adoption – security and ROI from current IT infrastructure. In addition, they are recognizing several benefits to the cloud that are not achievable with on-premise solutions.
Data security is a significant fear for healthcare providers due to the increasing complexity and volume of malicious cyberattacks. The consequences of a security breach are very high. With the cloud, entire teams are focused on security while health systems tend to struggle to appropriately staff with these skillsets. Cloud infrastructure offers greater security and the ability to keep pace with new threats.
Existing investments in on-premise infrastructure are another hindrance for healthcare IT leaders to overcome when considering the cloud. There has been a lot of money, time, and resources utilized to build up data centers. However, CIOs are placing more emphasis on more strategic projects rather than focusing on the underlying IT infrastructure. There is a shift towards improving workflows, reducing errors, and lowering costs. The cloud initiative is allowing organizations to become more efficient, yielding a better return on investment.
