ACCESSIBILITY The availability of records are no longer constrained to office hours. COST SAVINGS Depending on the size, cost saving benefits can reach upwards of $37 million in 5 year period. VISIBILITY Records are available for colleagues and specialists to see reducing repetitive cots and testing. WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION CAN BE STORED IN THE CLOUD?

CONCLUSION As more healthcare institutions get ready for the ICD-10 implementation, many organizations will look for ways to streamline their records management. Cloud storage will not only provide them with this opportunity but also with cost savings and gains in efficiencies. Confidence in cloud-based security will increase over time and the benefits from these systems will out weigh the risks. http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Infrastructure-as-a-Service-laas http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Platform-as-a-Service-Paas http://searchcloudcomputing.techtarget.com/definition/Software-as-a-Service Infographic Brought to you by: http://www.healthcareitnews.com/directory/cloud-computing MBAHealthcareManagement.org http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/learn-ehr-basics http://www.forbes.com/sites/centurylink/2013/05/02/why-healthcare-must-embrace-cloud-computing/ http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/medical-practice-efficiencies-cost-savings#footnote-1 http://www.healthit.gov/providers-professionals/improved-diagnostics-patient-outcomes#footnote-1 http://www.cio.com/article/743379/Healthcare_Finally_Warming_to_Cloud.
