Cloud Computing On Health Care

Cloud computing is one of the most recent revolutionary technologies in the world. The applications of Cloud computing is rapidly increasing in day to day life. Today the application of Cloud computing is so widespread that it is being used even in the health care industry. Although healthcare was once considered an industry that would not adopt cloud computing due to systemic security, legal, and privacy issues, that no longer seems to be the case. Those in healthcare IT are moving even farther into the world of cloud computing. As the evolution of cloud computing in health care is occurring at a rapid rate in recent times, we can expect a major part of the healthcare industry to move onto the cloud and thereby more focus is laid on providing a cost Effective and efficient healthcare service to the people all around the globe. Despite the common belief that certain boundaries and security issues of the cloud would hinder the shift, the healthcare industry is taking an initiative to move to these cloud based platforms. Cloud computing can transform the way healthcare is practiced by empowering professionals to deliver better healthcare services to their patients.
Cloud computing may be defined as the use of computing resources both hardware and software that are delivered as a service over a network most likely the Internet. Cloud consists of three basic service models: First, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides users with processing, storage, networks, and other computing infrastructure resources, secondly, Platform as a Service (PaaS) enables users to deploy applications developed using specified programming languages or frameworks and tools onto the Cloud infrastructure, and finally, Software as a Service (SaaS) enables users to access applications running on a Cloud infrastructure from various end-user devices (generally through
