A Study on the Architecture of Cloud Hospital Information System for Small and Medium Sized Hospitals

Nan Kyung Lee, Jong Ok Lee

Abstract


Recently, the business environment of healthcare has changed rapidly due to the entering the mobile era, the intensifying global competition, and the explosion of healthcare needs. Despite of necessity in expanding new IT-based medical services and investing IT resources to respond environmental changes, the small and medium sized hospitals could not realize these requirements due to the limited management resources. CHISSMH is designed and presented in this research to provide high valued clouding medical services with reasonable price. CHISMH is designed and presented in this research to provide high valued medical services with reasonable price through cloud computing. CHISME is designed to maximize resource pooling and sharing through the visualization. By doing so, Cloud Service provider could minimize maintenance cost of cloud data center, provide high level services with reasonable pay-per-use price. By doing so, Cloud Service provider could minimize maintenance cost of cloud data center, and could provide high level services with reasonable pay-per-use price. CHISME is expected to be base framework of cloud HIS services and be diffusion factor of cloud HIS services Operational experience in CHISSMH with 15 hospitals is analyzed and presented as well.
