Real-time data collection and improved access to the data are two of the benefits of healthcare cloud computing for enterprises of all sizes and from any place. Healthcare Cloud Computing has various benefits for the healthcare business, including the ability to store and access data from any location. Implementation of cloud computing as an effective data transportation and storage facility would transform the slow speed of clerical tasks in medical organisations due to its ability to store large amounts of data. Medical practitioners and pharmacologists may find a database that keeps track of a patient's medical history, alerts any institution that needs it, and updates it with current health and medicine circumstances to be beneficial.
In several end-use industries, including healthcare, digitization and cloud computing have become key trends. When it comes to health care, cloud computing is becoming a key trend since hospitals and other healthcare facilities are using technology to eliminate errors and improve efficiency. The market is also predicted to increase as a result of the proliferation of high-speed internet and the implementation of favourable regulatory measures. Data privacy, data portability difficulties, and an increasing number of cloud data breaches may limit the growth of the healthcare cloud computing market throughout the study period.
It is primarily driven by digitizing the healthcare infrastructure, integrating new technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence, deploying cloud healthcare systems, and inefficiencies in management as a result of the growing burden. Increased use of telemedicine and cloud-based healthcare services in the worldwide healthcare sector is driving the global healthcare cloud infrastructure market. Increasing sickness burden and an ageing population lead to an increase in the number of patients seen. As the number of patients grows, so does the amount of data that must be generated, and healthcare institutions are under increasing pressure to meet that need quickly and effectively. Digital technologies are being used by healthcare facilities to increase operational efficiency, data management, and patient care. The global healthcare cloud infrastructure market is being fueled by the increasing use of digital technologies in the healthcare sector. Growth in healthcare cloud infrastructure was spurred by the rapid expansion and penetration of both wireless and internet technologies as well as strong IT and telecommunications infrastructure development.
The worldwide healthcare cloud infrastructure market is being fueled by an increase in government and business investments in IT infrastructure. The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, for example, made a $2 billion investment in digitization in 2017. The use of cloud-deployed dashboards for real-time data analytics and visualization is growing among healthcare facilities.
Governments worldwide are now leveraging cloud technology to communicate real-time statistics and information about COVID-19-related restrictions, lockdowns and spreading tendencies. The Australian Department of Health, for instance, introduced the Coronavirus Australia App. Furthermore, the increasing demand for information mobility, increasing investments to deploy cloud-computing technologies in hospitals, the growing number of Smart Hospitals, the rising demand for advanced technological solutions, and the rising demand for effective healthcare solutions are expected to be the driving forces of the healthcare cloud infrastructure market in the near future.
The data housed by cloud service providers is not as secure as data held on-premise. A high degree of privacy needs to be maintained to ensure that only authorized persons have access to patient information. Various legislative systems, such as the US's HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), have scrutinized patient data in various countries. Similarly, the European Union has a number of directives on data protection. There are numerous nations where it is illegal to transfer patient Protected Health Information (PHI) from one location to another. Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) safeguards personal information gathered, utilized, or disclosed. Non-compliance with the Act could result in legal action for Canadian organizations.
Even though the cloud offers many advantages and security precautions, data stored in the cloud is still vulnerable to cyber-attack. Data security and privacy concerns are on the rise as the volume of patient data grows and the number of attempts to implement digital transformation in healthcare rises. In addition, patients are concerned about the safety of their personal information, which increases the need of upholding high security standards for patient data. Public clouds have the same security concerns as traditional IT systems; hence they are not recommended.
Patient care can now be delivered to far-flung locales because to the convergence of wireless and cloud technology. In many nations, the majority of doctors and specialists are employed in major cities and metropolitan areas. As a result, only in urban regions can patients access the most cutting-edge medical technology. To solve this challenge, doctors and healthcare specialists can use a tele-cloud to diagnose and treat patients across enormous distances in real-time and at low prices.
It was in May of this year that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) announced its first Rural Health Strategy, which included telehealth and telemedicine as key components. An eight-page plan outlining five key steps aimed at increasing the number of people in rural and underserved areas who have easy access to medical care was unveiled by CMS. In addition, Cisco provides telehealth and remote patient monitoring services to more than 17,000 healthcare organizations in 118 countries. For cloud computing businesses in the healthcare sector, the use of telehealth in numerous nations is likely to rise, and this could lead to growth opportunities for those in the sector.
