Cloud vs. Server
It’s better in the cloud
Stay with the old? – Client Server-Based EHR
- Large upfront hardware costs
- Large upfront installation fees
- Upgrades & enhancements may depend on vendor updates and may require self-installation
- 3-5 year hardware replacement schedule
- Modular electronic health records systems may increase costs
- Additional IT support is needed to support hardware
- Storage is limited on standard hardware
- Physical security concerns with data on premises (natural disaster, access and theft)
- Multiple locations and multiple databases are are difficult to manage and may require additional servers and hardware
- Limited mobility
- Increased potential for billing & coding errors due to having to maintain multiple versions
