Enterprises across the globe are witnessing an increased adoption of cloud computing as they have realized the cost benefits associated with cloud-based services. There is also an increased adoption of EMR applications that cater to the requirements of end-users adopting cloud-based services. Cloud service providers are offering software, computing platform, and infrastructure support through the internet at far lower costs than the internal IT hardware infrastructure. Further, cloud-based services have various advantages such as rapid scalability, easy access, uninterrupted service, and high security. Such factors are responsible for the higher adoption of cloud services for hospital-based EMR systems.
