Cloud computing. In a nutshell,
cloud computing is a form of information technology
that enables you to use the Internet
to access valuable
computing resources.
It enables you to do more
with less
In other words
you don't have to own or manage the hardware and software
you can simply access it as a service on the network instead
This network otherwise known as the Internet - is what we call
the cloud
Without the cloud, you store data on your own hardware With cloud-based computing, you can run programs
and securely archive data over the network often from any PC and from wherever you need
That is the essence
of cloud-based services
And with cloud computing, you can reduce your capital outlays
IT support expenses, and infrastructure costs.
Maintenance such as software upgrades and storage capacity increases are no longer your responsibility
Other professionals manage the technology
You focus on your business!
You can access cloud services not only from PCs
but also from tablet computers
, some smart phones
and possibly other devices.
And because your data is stored in the cloud
if your office PC is destroyed in a disaster
your data is not!
It is still there
intact and ready for access
Cloud based services can offer other significant advantages to private
practice physicians
Do you ever find yourself thinking
I want to be able to do some work from home
I sometimes need to check something when I am away from the office or out of town
I want to review patient exams from different facilities all on one
imaging system
I want to store my patient images easily and safely
I want to share patient cases with other doctors
But to make these things possible
I probably have to purchase lots of hardware and software applications
I don't know how to build such a system
Maintenance would also be necessary
So it is all a bit of a hassle
Plus, it would be so very expensive
And can I guarantee security?
Now, there is a simple solution to
all of these issues
