About the challenge to consumers and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18607.html > Healthcare providers by the Affordable Care Act (affordable healthcareact) The recent frequent initiation of major media discussions. Whatever your stance on the new regulations, there are many core issues that are obvious.

Patients say they want better and more timely access to personal medical information while enjoying more advanced and inexpensive medical care. The pressure on healthcare providers is to compress costs, improve treatment effectiveness, improve efficiency, expand services, and comply with changing new regulations. These are not unique to the United States, and the world faces the same challenges.

Advances in science and technology can help solve many of these challenges. New technologies and models can eliminate ineffective links in business operations or improve the safe sharing of medical information.

Electronic medical records will help many healthcare providers achieve these goals, and one of the most promising approaches is the delivery of electronic medical records via cloud computing. Cloud computing provides a model that is not only faster, more flexible, more efficient, but also more economical and secure. Here are a few examples:

Inland Northwest Healthservices is a leading provider of medical IT services that provides cloud computing services to 4,000 doctors and 450 clinics across the United States. Inland Northwest Healthservices has been transformed into a cloud computing electronic medical records system to provide customers with faster, more consistent performance and higher operational efficiencies.

With the introduction of the cloud computing system, the entire company has changed its operations and service patterns. Cloud computing eliminates the pressure on the existing IT infrastructure to enhance efficiency and security. Nearly 95% of Inlandnorthwest Healthservices's 1200 servers were virtualized, helping the company to double its end-user performance, reducing the demand for physical space by 28%, and increasing storage capabilities.

In Germany, Healthcare ITSolutions hopes to provide services to the growing number of customers through a more flexible and cost-efficient approach. The company has devised a more flexible way to manage the nationwide medical information Exchange system, called Fallakteplus, which means "case +".

The system allows physicians in different hospitals to share cases in order to better collaborate and improve treatment outcomes. The Fallakte Plus,healthcare ITSolutions Company has been able to deploy a private cloud strategy to help the company meet growing user needs. Healthcare ITSolutions can scale up the system without adding too much investment to IT infrastructure. The cloud computing system now supports up to 500 hospitals and 60,000 doctors.

Ospedale Dinovara of Italy is a public health organization focused on medical research and professional surgery. The hospital, which has 780 beds, wants to improve efficiency, reduce costs and improve infrastructure flexibility to meet changing needs. At the same time, the company's more than 2,500 employees are also looking for simpler and more reliable medical and administrative systems.

Ospedale Dinovara invests in an integrated virtualization platform that stores most of the critical data in a private cloud. As a result, the organization reduced it-related power costs by 25%, improved infrastructure flexibility, increased security and availability, and freed up a floor space in the data center. Now, the hospital can devote more energy and money to the development of new medical technology.

It is easy to see from these examples that technology can help change the medical profession, not only to help medical professionals overcome existing difficulties, but also to respond quickly to changing needs. The experience of these three organizations has proven that the healthcare industry can take full advantage of this latest technology, not only to improve the efficiency of doctors and medical devices, but also to deliver better services to patients with a secure cloud computing strategy.
