How and Why to Transition?

Healthcare facilities across the nation are transitioning to cloud services for enterprise imaging. Cloud computing allows company data to be accessible anywhere. With the rise of a work-from-home culture, transitioning to the cloud is a small business must. This article offers a comprehensive overview of why you should switch your enterprise imaging to the cloud, the benefits of cloud technology, and how to transfer your data to the cloud.

Why transition to cloud-based enterprise imaging solutions?

• Collaboration– cloud-based enterprise imaging solutions allow your team to collaborate and communicate from anywhere. Without taking up extra storage on each employee’s computer, cloud computing frees up your schedule so that your team can access the files they need from anywhere at any time.
• Improved Patient-Care – Cloud computing allows for faster and streamlined patient diagnosis. Through no-lag communication, your radiology team can communicate more quickly and securely with physicians and healthcare providers.
• Security – Cloud-based solutions have comprehensive data security through access controls, file encryption, and threat detection. Traditional data storage options are vulnerable to physical data breaches, natural disasters, and are at greater risk for HIPAA violations.

How to transition to cloud-based enterprise imaging solutions?

• In-House Managed Transition:
  1. Select a reputable cloud service provider
  2. Decide which access controls your business needs to maximize security
  3. Follow the cloud provider’s steps to transitioning data into the cloud
  4. Put in place ongoing monitoring and staff training to ensure data security
• Consider an MSP (Managed Service Provider)
  1. We recommend using a trusted third party to support your business’s transition to the cloud. Given the sensitivity of data associated with enterprise imaging, it is important to ensure this transfer is done as securely as possible. Using an MSP will ensure that your business’ transition is in the hands of professionals without incurring the additional costs associated with staffing an in-house security team.
