I believe the exact opposite is true. With cloud based patient records all you need is some type of internet connectivity - cellular, wireless, satellite, etc - and any type of device with a browser - smartphone, tablet, laptop, netbook, smartphone, desktop, etc - and you're in business. Paper records burn, get buried, float away, etc. In addition a complete natural disaster could potentially wipe a hospital off the face of the planet. I'm not buying your argument. Thanks for stopping by though. Appreciate the feedback. Hmm, that’s an interesting point of view Charles. I believe the exact opposite is true.

Living on the west coast there will be a major earthquake someday. When it happens there will be major disruptions in communications and many hospitals or clinics would not be able to access patient records if they are in the cloud. With the current model of paper and/or electronic records at least the facility will be able to conduct business and or operate because they actually have the necessary records and systems on site with generator backups when the power transmission files as well..
