Healthcare continues to ride on the digital transformation trends to refine data management and care delivery processes. Health organizations are increasingly leveraging real-time data-driven solutions, artificial intelligence, and cloud services to empower their patients and clinicians with analytics and align with the culture of preventive and wellness-centric care.

It is believed that the cloud will be central to all future digital transformations in healthcare. But let us understand what specific, new cloud services will be developed for healthcare in the near future and why should healthcare organizations opt for the same.

Why are health organizations leveraging the cloud? 

We are progressing to the time when the healthcare system will be more consumer-centric and value-driven. It will use real-time data to generate actionable insights, and data technology will play a crucial role. Cloud technology promises to improve performance enhancement and healthcare data analytics overall. 

Cloud promises almost unlimited data storage, easy accessibility, and enhanced cybersecurity against health systems’ need for increased data capacity. As health organizations are expanding into a variety of digitized services such as virtual care, wearable devices, telemedicine, and smart AI assistance, the data per patient expands.

How are cloud services disrupting healthcare services?

1. Integrated Data for Time-saving Processes:

Cross-facility collaboration in healthcare is bound to improve with real-time clinical updates happening in a matter of seconds. Besides leveraging a single access point to patient information, practices no longer have to wait for patient results from another department. This enables swifter cooperation on treatment plans and increases the time available for patient care.

2. Better Public Health Assessment:

Cloud will be successful in accumulating a rich set of public health metrics with increasing EHR data. Mining this data, researchers can identify health trends and prevent any public health crisis. It will lead to an accurate assessment of public health as well as provide insights for improvement.

3. Enhanced Data Security

The transition of hospitals from onsite disparate data sources to encrypted cloud data reduces the risk of data breaches. Besides the security benefits of cloud migration, with increased mobility, doctors can access patient information from multiple locations and devices - quickly and efficiently. 

4. Streamlined Communication

Cloud computing has simplified collaboration and enabled better teamwork among healthcare professionals. It speeds up nearly every process, from scheduling appointments to real-time information access by the providers.

5. Tele-Medicine

With the help of cloud computing, healthcare organizations have enabled high-quality care for patients in remote locations. Every process from telemonitoring to teleconsultation has been enhanced with swift communication and data-access from any part of the world.

6. Improved Data Storage Capacity

The number of patients accessing healthcare is increasing every passing day, leading to a large number of data records. Since patient data has to be held for six years, healthcare organizations can offload this data to the cloud. It is an economical solution when compared to using physical servers.

7. Healthcare Services Scalability 

Clients can increase or decrease their data storage and traffic based on their needs with flexible cloud services. This has enabled healthcare providers to match their network requirements with service demands, based on their needs during any particular period.

8. AI and Machine Learning

Healthcare organizations are using cloud platforms integrating AI and ML algorithms, to analyze and respond to the enormous amount of data they have. It helps them apply predictive network analytics and understand the future preventive steps to improve their patient outcomes.

Road Ahead

There are numerous avenues such as digital health governance, virtual consulting, telemedicine that are yet to be explored to their fullest extent with the help of cloud services in healthcare.

The future of healthcare backed by the cloud is ready to soar from HIPAA-enabled machine learning tools to network health outcome predictions with AI on the cloud. With the cloud, we can ensure that the coming decade will be remarkable in transforming the care delivery processes for swifter and impactful health outcomes.
