What defines a cloud service?

Change isn’t easy, and it can be disruptive, especially if you aren’t prepared for it. The word cloud likely forms an image in your mind of something nebulous and amorphous – not exactly an image you normally associate with your practice of medicine or your most mission-critical systems. Yet, you’ve likely heard a lot about “the cloud” and cloud-based electronic medical record (EMR) systems, or perhaps you’re contemplating implementing one in your practice. It may seem that there’s more hype than clarity when it comes to understanding a truly cloud-based EMR system and how it compares to the alternatives, so this paper will help illustrate the differences between cloud-based and traditional client-server EMR systems. It will sort truth from myth surrounding cloud solutions, and give you insights into the questions to ask – and answers you should expect – when selecting a cloud-based EMR system and vendor.
