When will the healthcare industry accept cloud with all heart and make use of the advantages it provides?
With this post let Caredata Inc. show some of the benefits of how a cloud based Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)can be your best bet in the world of new age LIMS.
Hassle Free Data Access
In the world of Internet of Things, Big Data and corresponding Analytics – hassle free data access is the need of the hour. The cloud based LIMS provides just that. Cloud storage allows data to be stored at a central cloud, which is easier to access that separate on site servers for every location. In fact, data from multiple centers, multiple branches, and multiple computers can be accessed with a secure login ID – anytime, anywhere.
Data Safety from Day 1
There are some concerns stating that data of a patient’s health can be compromised with a Laboratory Information Management System. That’s exactly what cloud based LIMS counter! Cloud based LIMS data is fully encrypted on being stored. It has high levels of security and in no way can be accessed without a secure login ie. authorized personnel with access. The best thing – there are as good as zero chances of servers downtime hence, no chances of compromise even during server downtime.
Reduced IT Manpower
In a cloud based Laboratory Information Management System, servers are not located on site. That means that you don’t need to spend on hardware purchase, installation, and maintenance. New users, centers, services can be all added at the click of a button. The best thing, no need to hire IT manpower to add logs, algorithms, and maintenance.
Saving Capital
