Cloud Solutions Designed for professional Healthcare
Both education and healthcare require a far more secure version of the cloud. Legislation across North America protects the personal information of healthcare workers, patients and students.
North American Private Data Legislation:
Canada - Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act
British Columbia - Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act
USA - Health Information Portability and Accountability Act

The following examples of cloud solutions are not specifically designed for education but aim to meet the needs of the healthcare system by providing field specific function and legislation compliant security; should all cloud based medical education apps be required to meet the same standards?

Fujifilm Synapse Cloud Services
“Fujifilm Cloud Services is a set of turnkey, high-reliability solutions that encompass software, system management, hosting and disaster recovery.”
“Fujifilm set the industry standard with Synapse. Its architecture was designed to seamlessly join groups and delivery networks. While contributing to economies of scale, it remains compatible with existing information systems and with most hardware. Synapse easily accommodates multiple reading groups as well as any number of locations
operating disparate RIS and HIS. Synapse can be layered onto different PACS software packages, providing a single, and thus more efficient, viewing and reporting interface. If, for example, your radiology practice works with hospitals or other remote facilities that use non-Fujifilm PACS software, the centralized viewing and reporting functions in Synapse automatically convert those files.”

Meditech
"With an EHR [Electronic Health Record], a patient's record follows her electronically. From the physician's office, to the hospital, to her home-based care, and to any other place she receives health services. And, she and her doctors can access all of this information and communicate with a smartphone or computer".
