Abstract:
One of the areas with greatest needs having available information at the right moment and with high accuracy is healthcare. Right information at right time saves lives. This work proposes a solution based on cloud computing implemented for hospital systems having as a result a better management, high speed for the medical process, and increased quality of the medical services. Cloud computing technology is still new but promises a revolution in the entire connected areas. At national level, hospital information systems are somewhat rare and not very well managed. Cloud computing allows using the latest technologies at low prices (pay-per-use) and with minimum resources necessary for clients. The paper suggests a model for the architecture of the information systems in two key departments of a hospital: Pediatrics and Obstetrics, and Gynecology using interoperability for better access to information and preparing the system for future connectivity.
