Keywords:
Cloud migration, Healthcare industry, Data accessibility, Scalability, Operational efficiency, Strategic impact, Resource allocationAbstract
Cloud migration has emerged as a transformative force within the healthcare industry, promising enhanced data accessibility, scalability, and operational efficiency. This paper investigates the strategic impact of cloud migration in healthcare, focusing on key benefits, challenges, and best practices. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of case studies, this paper illustrates how cloud migration can enable healthcare providers to optimize resource allocation, facilitate data-driven decision-making, and improve patient care. It also addresses common barriers, including data security, regulatory compliance, and system integration challenges, and offers strategic recommendations for healthcare organizations considering or undergoing cloud migration.
