Abstract

Healthcare sector is information critical industry that deals with human lives. Transforming from traditional paper-based to Electronic Health Records (EHRs) was not efficient enough since EHRs require resources, integration, maintenance and high cost implementation. Cloud computing paradigm offers flexible, cost effective, collaborative, multi-tenant infrastructure which assists in transforming electronic healthcare to smart healthcare that consists on the use of latest technologies such as smart mobiles, smart cards, robots, sensors and Tele-health systems via internet on pay-per-use basis for best medical practices. Cloud computing reduces the cost of EHRs in terms of ownership and IT maintenance, also it offers sharing, integration and management of EHRs as well as tracking patients and diseases more efficiently and effectively. This review paper represents the significance and opportunities for implementing cloud computing in healthcare sector.
