Medical Software – Why go Hosted Cloud ?

“Empower your Medical Practice and Healthcare team with the ultimate blend of technology and mobility.”

The advantages of medical practice management software hosted in the cloud.

Medical practice management software is a type of software that helps medical professionals manage their daily operations, such as scheduling appointments, billing, coding, reporting, and more. These medical practice management systems improve the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of a medical practice, as well as enhance the quality of care and patient satisfaction.

However, not all practice management solutions are created equal. Some are hosted on-premise, meaning that they are installed and maintained on the practice’s own servers, computers and other operator owned healthcare facilities. Others are hosted in the cloud, meaning that they are accessed and stored on a remote server via the internet, providing healthcare providers access 24×7.

Below we will explore the key points and advantages of cloud-based software solutions over on-premise ones, and why they are the best choice for modern medical practices and your electronic health records.

Lower Costs

One of the main benefits of cloud-based medical software systems is that they have lower upfront and ongoing costs than on-premise ones. On-premise systems require a large initial investment in hardware, software licenses, installation, and maintenance. They also incur recurring costs for updates, upgrades, backups, security, support and staff training.

Cloud-based systems, on the other hand, have a pay-as-you-go pricing model, where the practice only pays for what they use. There is no need to purchase or maintain any hardware or software, as everything is provided by the cloud service provider. PIPs administrative staff takes care of all administrative tasks such as upgrades, backups, security, and support, saving the practice and medical staff time and money.

Higher Scalability

Another advantage of cloud-based MPMS is that they have higher scalability than on-premise ones. On-premise electronic medical records have limited capacity and performance, depending on the hardware and software specifications of the practice. If the medical practice grows or needs more resources, they have to buy more hardware or software, which can be expensive and time-consuming for data migration.

Cloud-based health software, on the other hand, has unlimited capacity and performance, depending on the cloud service provider. If the practice grows or needs more resources, they can easily scale up or down their usage, without any additional costs or delays.

Looking at integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into your day-to-day operations, then a cloud based solution is the most important feature.

Better accessibility

A third benefit of cloud clinical systems is that they have better accessibility than on-premise ones. On-premise single platform systems are only accessible by your team members from your medical offices and devices. If healthcare providers need to access patient data from outside the office or from a mobile device, they may face difficulties or risks. This system also facilitates easy access to patient portal, patient appointments and patient registration systems.

Cloud patient information is accessible from anywhere and any device with an internet connection. This means that the staff can work remotely or from multiple locations, and the patients can access their records or appointments online. This increases the convenience and flexibility of both parties, as well as improves communication and collaboration.

Enhanced Security

A fourth advantage of hosted medical software is that they have enhanced data security than on-premise ones. On-premise servers are vulnerable to physical damage, theft, loss, or corruption of data due to natural disasters, power outages, human error, or cyberattacks. All healthcare organizations are responsible for ensuring the security and compliance of their patient data, their medical history and clinical care, which can be challenging and costly.

PIPs Medical Cloud is protected by advanced encryption, firewalls, antivirus software, 2 factor authentication and backup systems . PIP and its data centres complies with industry standards and regulations regarding data privacy and security, such as the Australian Privacy Act and ISO 27001. The practice can rest assured that their data and system are safe and secure in the cloud.

Cloud-based MPMS offer many advantages over on-premise ones for medical practices. They are more cost-effective, scalable, accessible, and secure than their counterparts. They can help medical professionals streamline their operations, improve their outcomes, and grow their business.
