Cloud Computing

Cloud computing refers to data centers, not in physical reach but accessible. It also refers to the availability of computing resources such as storage device processing power under the management of the third party and large cloud providers such as Amazon Google etc.

Types of cloud computing

• Private or Enterprise cloud
• Public cloud

Medical Uses

There are three model IAAS PAAS SAAS in which cloud computing works. we will look into it according to that

IAAS

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) with this solution cloud provider can offer on demand computing and dynamic resources for computing

SAAS

Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud providers can offer hosted services to manage their patient records data mining for accurate results for patients and enabling customer relationship management

PAAS

Platform as a Service (PaaS) cloud providers can offer security for web environments so a user can have a friendly and safe enviorment

Use cases

• Clinical application such as pharmacy orders doctors enquiry
• Non clinical side administration of healthcare
• Patient management for example record keeping billing
