Challenges of Deploying Cloud Computing in eHealth

Abstract

Abstract New technologies emerge almost every day and they change how organizations and even governments operate. One of the technologies which had a great impact on business models is the cloud computing technology. Cloud computing impacts how resources and capabilities can be used to function effectively and efficiently. It allows organizations to operate in a competitive environment without focusing on scaling, maintenance, and failure. It became a key factor in IT vendors’ strategies and governments like US Apps, and The Kasumigaseki Cloud in Japan. This study will investigate the challenges for deploying cloud computing in the eHealth Context within developing countries. It will examine the doctors’ and managers’ evaluation of cost, security, infrastructure, management support and the importance of other challenges in deploying cloud computing in eHealth.
