The benefits of cloud migration include,<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>On-demand computing<\/li><li>Access to a broad network<\/li><li>Resource pooling<\/li><li>Rapid elasticity<\/li><li>Monitored and measured services<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Cloud service providers predominant today often have tailored solutions for the specific industry. For example, Google Cloud for healthcare and life science provides services and solutions curated to the digital healthcare ecosystem.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe width=\"642\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mxT233EdY5c\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Why consider the cloud for small-scale and medium-scale healthcare organizations?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#7b68ee\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Cloud migration is no longer a costly investment for small and medium-scale healthcare organizations; the on-demand nature of service makes it highly cost-effective.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you are finding it difficult to adapt to new healthcare technologies due to lack of resources, infrastructure, and knowledge; cloud migration is the cost-effective way to deal with these issues. <\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Small and medium-sized businesses should consider cloud migration crucial to their growth for the following reasons:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Compliance and security<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Regulatory compliance is a hot issue in the highly regulated healthcare industry. Legitimate cloud service providers have strict security protocols designed to comply with the strict regulatory laws from HIPAA, PHIPA, PIPEDA, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The compliance enforcement ensures data security through regular backups, data encryption, and authorized access to accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Scalability<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the growing number of users and their medical records, having IT infrastructure to support your EMR and&nbsp; EHR system is inevitable.
