Healthcare providers are extremely cost-conscious because they are under constant pressure to improve patient care while maintaining profitability. Cloud solutions support this by reducing the costs of in-house IT infrastructure. Cloud computing also greatly reduces the time required to deploy software, which can take months in on-premises deployments. Cloud software deployment and updates can be conducted remotely and typically very quickly, so employees can spend less time waiting and be more productive. Major categories of cloud solutions include infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS).

Leading hospital companies in cloud computing 

In the healthcare industry, there is much concern for protecting patients’ personally identifiable information (PII) as records include all forms of personal data, including name, patient number, addresses, next of kin, and detailed health information. When data privacy is breached, a healthcare company faces legal liability and penalties for regulatory noncompliance. Healthcare is one of the biggest targets of ransomware attacks, in which hackers infect a computer system and demand payment to restore it. As cloud adoption grows, developers are increasingly aware of security risks and how to combat them. Security measures for cloud include minimising attacks, controlling logins, and improving data encryption. 

Leading adopters of cloud computing in hospitals include Ping An Insurance, HCA Healthcare, Bupa, and AXA.
