Healthcare sector is one of the most dynamic sectors. Healthcare companies are looking to integrate and adopt IT to achieve greater business agility by increasing adaptability and achieving cost efficiency to enable focus on consumer needs and patient care. As consumers become tech savvy they demand a higher level of interaction – such as instant online access to information, products and services through their desktops and mobile devices. However, the traditional IT systems are struggling to meet these challenges and increase system effectiveness. Cloud companies can exploit these opportunities in the healthcare sector. For instance, a recent development is cloud-based medical imaging and information management solutions that enable healthcare professionals to view and interpret patient images such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans simultaneously. This significantly reduces the long-term technology cost and increases the speed of patient care management.
