Key Findings

• Cloud can be defined as a pool of compute, memory, and input-output resources, applications or operating environments with seemingly infinite scalability, delivered as a service over a network, be it private or public.

• Benefits of cloud to the healthcare industry include:
oProven significant reduction in costs as well as movement of a large capital expenditure to operating expenditure.
oImproved business scalability, agility, and resource management.
oImproved data sharing and communications.

• Adoption of cloud amongst healthcare providers varies considerably across Asia-Pacific (APAC) as well as amongst the public and private sector. While Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Hong Kong represent mature markets, most countries across the region are still in the growth phase.
• There continues to be significant confusion and apprehension around the precise products and services that cloud technologies incorporate. Unclear and evolving personal and health data protection laws also create doubts regarding the safety of healthcare data in the cloud.
• It is evident that cloud adoption in healthcare will grow faster than expected, which would lead to commoditization of healthcare information technology (healthcare IT) in the near future.
• Cloud architecture will be the key enabler of patient-centric information exchange.
