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”. Therefore,

health care organizations are facing some huge risks mostly

represented in: turning over data, security, availability and

control to a third party, which means that the organizations have

absolutely no control over where their data actually located.

Many EMR( Electronic Medical Records) vendors do not own their

own servers. They are rented from companies like Amazon,

Microsoft, Apple, and other data bank companies. 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.

vendor, or cloud system provider? What about hackers? What are the

results of hacking the patients EMR?
