Asia
Pacific healthcare service providers are looking at cloud adoption, according
to the latest IDC Health Insights report, "Cloud Computing in Healthcare:
An Asia/Pacific View."
Although
the adoption is still not widespread, the future looks promising for this
technology as 69 percent of IT decision makers across the region said they
currently have budget assigned to cloud computing.
Findings
from the survey indicate that healthcare service providers in the Asia Pacific
region do not want to reduce cloud spending in the next three years.
More
than half of those surveyed said they plan to spend more on cloud computing in
the next three years.
"The
healthcare industry is waking up to the benefits of cloud architectures in
solving their human resource issues, and helping them in their strategic
business goals of improving patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and
providing collaborative healthcare," said Sash Mukherjee, senior market
analyst for IDC Health Insights Asia/Pacific.
Long term benefit
Healthcare
service providers now see cloud adoption beyond short-term benefits such as
pay-per-use models, no implementation costs, and out-of-the-box features.
Security
and connectivity issues remain the two major concerns for the healthcare
industry and smaller healthcare organisations outsource their IT functions.
Server
and storage capacity on demand are the key areas of cloud uptake in the healthcare
industry and cloud technology is not being considered for the picture archiving
area.
IDC
Health Insights suggests cloud providers dispel the misconceptions and
confusions in the minds of end-users especially around security to succeed in
the healthcare market.
Cloud
providers would also have to describe the relative advantages of private,
public and hybrid clouds to end-users.
