Cloud computing in healthcare refers to the use of internet-hosted remote servers and networks to manage, store, and process healthcare data and applications. While providers traditionally hosted workloads in on-premises data centers, the adoption of cloud technology can support modern telehealth solutions, operational efficiency, and better clinician and patient experiences.
Healthcare organizations typically use one of three main cloud deployment models: public, private, or hybrid. Public cloud platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) offer HIPAA-eligible services with business associate agreements (BAAs), encryption, and advanced security controls. They can be strong, cost-efficient options for healthcare organizations managing protected health information (PHI).
Some organizations still choose private cloud for dedicated environments, regulatory preferences, or specialized performance needs. In reality, most IT leaders find a hybrid or multicloud approach best balances compliance, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
