Abstract
Cloud computing has transformed the healthcare industry by offering cost-effective, scalable, and flexible solutions for managing, storing, and processing data. However, concerns about its adoption are related to privacy, security, and data management. In this regard, this paper aims to examine the current state of cloud computing in healthcare and explore these issues.
The paper begins by introducing the concept of cloud computing and how it can benefit healthcare. It then delves into the various risks associated with cloud computing regarding privacy and security, including data breaches, unauthorized access, and loss of data control. Furthermore, the paper explores the regulatory and legal frameworks that govern cloud computing in healthcare and their implications for privacy and security.
Subsequently, the paper discusses the challenges of managing data in the cloud, such as data quality, interoperability, and ownership. The article explores various data management strategies, such as data encryption, access control, and data backup, that can help mitigate these challenges.
In conclusion, the paper stresses the importance of adopting a comprehensive and holistic approach to cloud computing
in healthcare that addresses privacy, security, and data management issues. It
emphasizes the need to adopt cloud computing responsibly and ethically to ensure patient safety and privacy, despite its potential to revolutionize healthcare.
