The Future of Healthcare in the Cloud

"Cloud" is a symbolic definition of Internet storage that can be accessed everywhere. This technology is swiftly gaining fame.1 Cloud computing is the state-of-the-art modernization in Information Technology (IT) and has provided a substitute mode for managing and accessing health data. It caters to various computing services such as intelligence, servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and analytics. Cloud computing administers fast modernization, flexible resources, and a range of economies. It is a colossal change from the traditional method due to its cost-effectiveness, high speed, security, global scale, performance, productivity, and reliability.2 Nowadays, hospitals/clinics successfully address patients needs through the cloud, and tech-savvy healthcare professionals are switching to this advancement for its benefits.3 Furthermore, it is an important step to move health systems and data to the cloud as it has achieved popularity during the pandemic. Cloud computing is accomplishing innovative systems to attain patient portals, offering interoperability and a protective way for important data to be transmitted quickly and efficiently anytime and everywhere. 4 Moreover, experts have predicted that cloud computing can improve services in healthcare and assets in healthcare research that have changed the appearance of information technology (IT).5 Because of these gains, there is a boost in the adoption of cloud computing to establish more satisfaction among patients and healthcare providers with low costs.6 Many healthcare systems still rely on old software systems. Healthcare workers' access to data such as electronic health records (EHR), patients' prescriptions, test results, and images/scans are more equipped to diagnose and identify the good management course. Decisions regarding large amounts of information help researchers and healthcare professionals identify patterns, and clues, uncover insights and provide evidence-based management.7 As a result of the cloud, the healthcare industry is regulated, and it makes sense that the first wave of moves to the cloud is those that have no direct impact on patient care. Healthcare providers are now comfortable with the impressive benefits of the cloud. The next wave of migration of information seems to be quicker and easier. Furthermore, telemedicine is the next strong contender for modernization in the future. A survey estimated that approximately 70 per cent of face-to-face interactions wit
