Implementing Cloud Infrastructure In My Health Record System: Benefits And Cloud Providers

The Advantages of Cloud Infrastructure for Healthcare Systems

Discuss about the Implementing The Cloud Solution In The System Of My Health Record.

Most of the health care systems do not use Information Technology for doing its functions. The health care system are far away than other sector in terms of using the information technology. All the health care systems mainly follows the same drawback. To proceed with their working as well as functions, the health care systems mostly depends on the paper work for keeping the records. But with the increase of information technology to its peak, as well as changing of human lives to a digitized one, many health records are changing their systems to information technology for making the system automated. The health care system are also evolving with the use of information technology as their tool to work daily. The cloud infrastructure is added as a service of information technology in the system of “My Health Record” for serving the customer more efficiently, faster as well as makes the system automated. The cloud service implements many service models that includes Software as a Service, Platform as a Service and Infrastructure as a Service. There are three ways by which these models can be used that is as hybrid clouds, public clouds, community clouds and private clouds.

For implementing the cloud solution in the system of “My Health Record”, three providers of cloud is suggested so that their system can be automated and users finds the system easy to use. The three cloud vendors that are suggested are Microsoft, Salesforce.com, and Amazon Web Service.

The Microsoft is one of the most famous technological company around the globe. This company is said to provide the best cloud service provider from all other cloud provider companies.

Microsoft Cloud Service Model for My Health Record System

The Amazon Web Service, commonly known as AWS is also a famous cloud provider that gives the service of cloud to may organization. This is the cheapest service among all the organization. Amazon provides service to small companies as well as to big companies. The Amazon was the first who started to distribute the cloud service among different companies. The information is stored by AWS cloud for all the companies. A great competitive advantage is being provided by the Amazon service to all its customers.

Some other features are also provided by Amazon that includes service for database, service for networking, and service for computing power. The Amazon provides service that is flexible and is the most efficient service among all the service. The service of Amazon is very appropriate for using in the system of my health record.

There are different cloud provider that are provided to all the organizations. The service of cloud provided to the companies are very much advantageous for the all the organization. The advantage that cloud provides are described below.

1. The cloud system is very efficient and cost less. The system of organization is not at all costly and all organizations that are big as well as organization that are small can avail the service of cloud. The systems are extremely low cost and maintaining those system is also cost less. The software that are needed for running the cloud are also less and the software are previously implemented in the system.
2. All the device that can be connected with the internet can be used for accessing the cloud technology. The system of cloud is very effective as it stores all the information that are related with the organization. The devices that can be used for cloud accessing are laptops, IPads, laptops, computer systems, as well as tablets.
3. No such high technologies or software is needed for implementing the system of cloud. This system of cloud is extremely beneficial and can serve all the service included in Information Technology. The organizations using cloud also will not have to get the license of cloud for using them.
4. The cloud helps to store the data securely. The data are safe from being breached.

No such systems are available that are flawless. Considering all the advantages of the cloud, the cloud service also provides with some disadvantages. The issues of the cloud are stated below.

1. All the devices that are to be needed for accessing the cloud should be connected with internet because the user cannot access the documents without the internet connection on their device.
2. The internet service that the cloud use should be of high frequency. The cloud cannot be accessed with low frequency bandwidth. When the user uses other application with the internet, then the user cannot utilize the cloud system.
3. With other applications running simultaneously, the cloud service can be slowed down or can even shut down if there is no proper internet connection.
4. The cloud obviously provides security for data. But, maintaining the security is a difficult task for the providers who provides cloud for the organization. The company always have to stay updated with all form of insecurity in the organization.

Advantages / Disadvantages of Predictive SDLC

The advantage that the predictive approach of SDLC model provides is that the system can be described easily. The method of the application can be usually described very easily and the requirements are clearly understandable. Project requirements should be steady for this method. In this system model technical risks are lower (Gangwar, Date & Ramaswamy, 2015). This model also provides some disadvantages too. Since this model does not provide backward process, through plans should be made prior to starting the entire system itself. Once the process is done there are no turning back.

Advantages/ Disadvantages of Adaptive SDLC

The advantages of the adaptive approach of SDLC is it provides the user with time flexibility (Toosi, Calheiros & Buyya, 2014). Which means the user can add or change additional functions to the system even after starting the project. The requirements of the project can also be changed the same way. Implementation is the main focused area in this method.  The adaptive SDLC also have some disadvantages as well (Tung, Richter & Savjani, 2015). This method contained some technical risk factors. It is a complicated process. Since the requirements can change afterwards, the budget can also vary.

With keeping all this advantages and disadvantages in mind the recommended approach for “My Health Record” is the method of Adaptive SDLC. Because in this way the system can be changed and optimized according to the requirements of the customer.
