#Health: Cloud for hospitals: Platforms and benefits

The cloud has become more common - and necessary - in the most diverse sectors every day. After all, today's reality requires processes to be faster, available, and scalable. In the healthcare area, it is no different. Many hospitals, clinics, and offices are adopting cloud computing solutions to ensure more security and availability for the thousands of data they store in their systems.
Undoubtedly, the cloud can be a real game-changer for healthcare institutions. Want to find out why? Read on and check out the article that the CodeBit team has prepared for you.

What is cloud storage?

Cloud storage is a sustainable, custom, and scalable solution that reduces the need for physical storage by using a server that hosts data on an online network. To do this, information is transmitted and archived in a remote system, and subsequently managed, backed up, and made available to the user whenever they need it.
With numerous features to maintain user protection, such as encryption and authentication, these environments are considered among the safest today.

Cloud and health: a match full of advantages!

The cloud allows files to be stored, edited, and shared anywhere, using any compatible device, even mobile ones, such as smartphones. Because of this, it considerably facilitates access to daily information and ensures total availability of the necessary documents.

Check out some of the advantages this solution offers to the healthcare sector:

Efficiency

This digital solution frees your team from several bureaucratic processes and makes access to information much simpler.
By adopting cloud computing, professionals can view and share medical records, diagnoses, and surgery information with just a few clicks.

Automation, besides ensuring more efficiency, reduces the time spent searching for documents and contributes to increasing the team's productivity.

Security

The cloud also boosts digital security in healthcare institutions. The best cloud servers, such as Amazon's AWS, offered by CodeBit, feature various resources to keep their data centers free of vulnerabilities, apply internationally recognized methodologies to prevent data breaches, and employ highly trained professionals to handle this issue. Furthermore, unlike physically stored paper files, cloud information is not at risk of being corrupted in potential natural disasters, thefts, or other incidents.

Economy

Cloud storage solutions allow their users to increase and reduce their machines' capacity in a simple and uncomplicated way, which provides more elasticity and optimizes processes overall. In addition, the investment in IT (Information Technology) infrastructure for adopting the tool is considerably low compared to the operational costs of physical storage still used by many companies.
Expenditures on printers, ink, and paper are also considerably reduced, as there is no need to print patient files, for example.

Increased storage capacity

Ensuring the accessibility of electronic document management and heavy file storage is a major challenge for healthcare institutions, which have to handle a high volume of data. To access information, doctors need more time to view all materials and, often, storage spaces are limited - especially on older servers. And healthcare professionals do not always have this extra time.
However, cloud storage, being more flexible and presenting customized capacity according to demand, can meet all needs in a practical, fast, and precise manner.

Mobility

Cloud computing provides great mobility to professionals.
This is because, as long as they have authorized access from the system and an online connection, doctors can view all data about a patient's condition at any time.
This ease, in addition to saving time, also allows professionals to monitor and track treatment progress in real-time and quickly indicate other measures that can assist in patient treatment and recovery.
Another advantage of cloud computing is the possibility to expand telemedicine services.
It enables doctors to participate in surgeries or provide care to patients without the need to be physically present.
