Description

Modern information technology is being increasingly used in the healthcare sector with the sole objective of enhancing the availability of improved medical services at reduced costs. Outsourcing of computation and storage resources using cloud infrastructure has become a potential alternative. Rural healthcare centers can largely benefit from cloud based models in terms of cost reduction and resource utilization. It will not only reduce the development cost but improve the maintainability and adoption of evolving technologies. This can ensure use of up-to-date technologies and skilled technical manpower to manage rural healthcare systems in an effective and efficient manner. Cloud computing is the fastest growing field in Information Technology sector. Cost reduction, flexibility, scalable and sustainable, increased efficiency, reliability, usage defined payment and enhanced mobility are some of the features of cloud computing. As in healthcare sector data privacy and security are of high importance. Right information at right time saves lives. But with the new opportunities come few risk too like Data security risks, the risk of loss of data and risk of system unavailability. Cloud helps its client with the latest technologies but at a very low price. Client has to pay only for what he uses with minimum resource. The cloud is not about technology, it is the abstraction of technology for delivering pure services. This work proposes a solution based on cloud computing implemented for hospital systems having as a result a better management, high speed for the medical process, and increased quality of the medical services.
