Abstract-Information Technology (IT) has modernized healthcare sector via the newest development. Cloud computing in healthcare is budding and charming as crucial methodologies by most of the stakeholders. It has the special ability to offer infinite capacity and power of process in the ehealthcare sector. This leads computer to be used efficiently and exclusively by the sharing of resources in healthcare. This paper provide a review of some proposed cloud based ehealthcare architectures edge along with issues in both technologies and the crucial reasons of enhancing forward to a cloud based e-healthcare especially in Malaysia.

Emergence of cloud computing bring new evolution in information technology (IT) industry. Cloud computing is growing interest to several organizations all over the world but adoption of cloud computing is not easy task because there are many barriers associated with adopting it, which should be eliminated. In the healthcare sector the rate of adopting the cloud computing is low and several barriers involve in adopting the cloud computing in the healthcare sector that major barrier is security. The aim of this paper is to investigate the cloud computing adoption in the healthcare sector using SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. The results reveal the cloud computing adoption is one of the suitable solutions based on SWOT analysis for healthcare sector issues such as: cost, storage, collaborating.

“…The scalability and mobility that a Cloud-based environment system can offer provides several advantages [1-9], but there are some barriers that must also be managed [10,11]. In the case of deploying a Cloud-based EHR management system, the main advantage is the ability to share patient records with other clinical centers, and the integration of all the EHRs of a group of clinical centers in order to help medical staff perform their jobs [12-14]. So, how can health care providers and clinical centers guarantee the security, privacy, and confidentiality of their patients’ data?…”

BackgroundThe Cloud Computing paradigm offers eHealth systems the opportunity to enhance the features and functionality that they offer. However, moving patients’ medical information to the Cloud implies several risks in terms of the security and privacy of sensitive health records. In this paper, the risks of hosting Electronic Health Records (EHRs) on the servers of third-party Cloud service providers are reviewed. To protect the confidentiality of patient information and facilitate the process, some suggestions for health care providers are made. Moreover, security issues that Cloud service providers should address in their platforms are considered.ObjectiveTo show that, before moving patient health records to the Cloud, security and privacy concerns must be considered by both health care providers and Cloud service providers. Security requirements of a generic Cloud service provider are analyzed.MethodsTo study the latest in Cloud-based computing solutions, bibliographic material was obtained mainly from Medline sources. Furthermore, direct contact was made with several Cloud service providers.ResultsSome of the security issues that should be considered by both Cloud service providers and their health care customers are role-based access, network security mechanisms, data encryption, digital signatures, and access monitoring. Furthermore, to guarantee the safety of the information and comply with privacy policies, the Cloud service provider must be compliant with various certifications and third-party requirements, such as SAS70 Type II, PCI DSS Level 1, ISO 27001, and the US Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA).ConclusionsStoring sensitive information such as EHRs in the Cloud means that precautions must be taken to ensure the safety and confidentiality of the data. A relationship built on trust with the Cloud service provider is essential to ensure a transparent process. Cloud service providers must make certain that all security mechanisms are in place to avoid unauthorized access and data breaches. Patients must be kept informed about how their data are being managed.
