    Author: Kuo MH, Kushniruk A, Borycki E.
    Journal: Stud Health Technol Inform; 2011; 169():379-83. PubMed ID: 21893777.
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we discuss cloud computing, the current state of cloud computing in healthcare, and the challenges and opportunities of adopting cloud computing in healthcare. A Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis was used to evaluate the feasibility of adopting this computing model in healthcare. The paper concludes that cloud computing could have huge benefits for healthcare but there are a number of issues that will need to be addressed before its widespread use in healthcare.
