The study surveyed 500 IT professionals at U.S. healthcare organizations and analyzed the state of cloud computing adoption. Here are six key findings:
- Ninety-four percent of health IT professionals who have completed a cloud migration said they would recommend it to their peers.
- Eighty-four percent said it was easier to maintain compliance once they moved to the cloud.
- Sixty percent of IT professionals who haven’t migrated to the cloud said maintaining compliance was the hardest part of switching to cloud computing.
- Seventy percent of IT professionals, who are planning to complete a cloud migration, said they intend to use third-party tools and services.
- Medicare and Medicaid facilities as well as hospitals were most likely to switch to the cloud.
- Physician’s offices and dental practices were least likely to adopt cloud computing.
