Governments are increasingly using cloud computing to reduce cost, increase access, improve quality, and create innovations in healthcare. Existing literature is primarily based on successful examples from developed western countries, and there is a lack of similar evidence from Asia. With a population close to 4.5 billion people, Asia faces healthcare challenges that pose an immense burden on economic growth and policymaking. Cloud computing in healthcare can potentially help increase the quality of healthcare delivery and reduce the economic burden, enabling governments to address healthcare challenges effectively and within a short timeframe. Advanced Asian countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Singapore provide successful examples of how cloud computing can be used to develop nationwide databases of electronic health records; real-time health monitoring for the elderly population; genetic database to support advanced research and cancer treatment; telemedicine; and health cities that drive the economy through medical industry, tourism, and research. This article examines these countries and identifies the drivers and barriers of cloud adoption in healthcare and makes policy recommendations to enable successful public health innovations through cloud adoption.

“…11,12 These issues need to be considered, along with concerns about cybersecurity breaches. 13 One option is a fully integrated service built into the electronic medical record (EMR) encapsulating the entire visit and allowing direct documentation, prescription management and the ordering of imaging and laboratory investigations. A second option is to use a virtual care system that is less comprehensive but nevertheless still valuable.…”

The COVID‐19 pandemic has led to many physicians working from home whenever possible. Although the concept of ‘remote’ patient care has been around for decades, present circumstances have provided a grand impetus in that direction with a view to protecting both patient and caregiver. In this article, we discuss some of the various challenges to moving forward with telemedicine, drawing in part on our own experiences in dealing with the COVID‐19 pandemic. Clinical, technical, financial and cultural barriers to telemedicine are identified, along with a discussion concerning anticipated benefits. We conclude that the COVID‐19 pandemic will likely forever change how healthcare is conducted as telemedicine figures increasingly prominently in the clinical landscape.

Health care organizations are a major target for cyberattacks. This is primarily due to their peculiar vulnerabilities and attractiveness to nefarious cyber actors. Data breaches from these attacks present a significant threat to the viability of health care organizations, ranging from financial losses to compromised patient safety. Cybersecurity insurance has become an essential tool for mitigating financial liabilities that may arise from breaches for many organizations. This paper reviews the current state of cybersecurity insurance adoption in the health care sector. It highlights best practices in cybersecurity insurance policy for health care organizations and recommends future directions to strengthen cybersecurity and improve cybersecurity insurance.
