As hospitals across the globe embrace digital transformation, cloud computing in healthcare is becoming the new standard. From cloud-based HIS and EMR systems to LIS and telehealth platforms, cloud solutions offer agility, scalability, and efficiency. But the journey to the cloud isn’t without obstacles.
In this blog, we’ll break down the top cloud migration challenges hospitals face in 2025—and how to overcome them with the right strategy and partners like Health Cluster.
Why Move to the Cloud in 2025?
Healthcare systems are under pressure to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and provide better patient care. Cloud-based platforms help by offering:
- Real-time data access
- Remote collaboration across departments and facilities
- Flexible infrastructure that scales with your needs
- Improved cybersecurity and compliance
- Lower IT overhead and maintenance costs
Yet, despite these benefits, many healthcare institutions encounter significant roadblocks.
