Alexander J. Ryu, Dale R. Magnuson, Thomas C. Kingsley · Mayo Clinic Proceedings Innovations Quality & Outcomes · 2021
In our experience, many physicians and researchers may have limited familiarity with the definition and significance of cloud infrastructure, leading to excess concern and confusion. Misguided reservations can then diminish the benefits that a transition to cloud infrastructure could provide for researchers and clinicians. Herein, we seek to illustrate how and why cloud infrastructure can benefit clinical and research workflows. We examine Mayo Clinic’s transition as a case study that could apply to other large academic medical centers.
