Cloud computing comes to the forefront here as it helps with storage of private and confidential patient data. Clinicians can be more flexible in their work as they are not confined to their office to access patients' health records. Healthcare professionals can also exchange information about a patient with their colleagues at other locations to inform or negotiate about possible medical options. Hospitals and physicians are starting to see cloud-based medical records and medical image archiving services. The objective is to offload a burdensome task from hospital IT departments and allow them to focus on supporting other imperatives such as EMR adoption and improved clinical support systems. What are the advantages of adopting cloud computing in hospitals? Can introducing mobile devices for doctors in hospitals help? If so, how?
