Data Privacy And Residency Software Services In Healthcare Industry

Cloud computing has changed the way we do business. In healthcare, it offers an opportunity to improve efficiency and collaboration. However, protecting patient data privacy in the cloud is a major concern for many healthcare organizations. Cloudconc is a leader in health technology that provides comprehensive cloud-based data privacy and residency services. With these services, healthcare organizations can securely use the cloud while making sure that patient data privacy remains their priority amidst growing global data residency regulations.

Why Data Privacy Matters In Healthcare?

Data privacy is not only important but also a legal requirement. It is an ethical responsibility that all healthcare providers must fulfil. Organizations should protect sensitive information such as electronic medical records (EMRs), lab results, treatment plans, insurance details and genetic data among others.

The consequences of breaching this trust include identity theft; insurance fraud; discrimination or stigmatization leading to emotional distress.

Challenges Of Data Residency In The Cloud

There are numerous advantages associated with cloud computing but there are also challenges when it comes to where data resides within the cloud storage system. Data residency refers to storing and processing patient’s health related information geographically within the boundaries of a country or region.

However, several issues make it difficult for health care providers to achieve this goal

Stringent Privacy Regulations

Both US’ HIPAA Act (Health Insurance Portability Accountability) as well as EU’S GDPR (General Protection Regulation) require compliance with certain specific practices on how one handles personal identifiable information (PII) which includes restrictions on where PII may be stored.

International Operations & Collaboration

Health care industry players operate beyond borders hence they have to share their patients’ records across different countries while still observing each nation’s residency laws.

Changing Regulatory Environment

Laws governing individual rights over his/her own data keep changing frequently thus necessitating adjustments by healthcare establishments regarding management strategies towards such information security concerns too shall evolve accordingly
