  2. 1- Define The Problem

  3. There are tremendous advantages of implementing the cloud computing technology in healthcare field. However, as we all know there is no such a thing called “perfection”.

Chances are good that your EMR flows on the same server, and hard drives as Twitter or Facebook. Unfortunately, Unauthorized disclosure of information results in severe consequences to the organization and significant costs in recovering and restoring data as well as notifying affected individuals.
