What To Consider When Making the Transition From On-premises to Cloud-based EMS Software

For emergency medical service (EMS) organizations, making the jump from on-premises software to cloud-based software comes with a lot of different considerations. Many software as a service (SaaS) offerings are available, but there are also infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) options to think about. These options all feature different levels of management between what the software controls versus what your organization still controls. Therefore, making an informed decision on what cloud solution may be right for you is important if you’re in the market for the first time, or if you are still evaluating products.

Shad Hinds, a 20+ year professional in healthcare technology specializing in cloud architecture, DevOps, and system reliability, recently discussed the advantages, disadvantages, and tips on how to select a cloud-based EMS software provider. In a lively presentation, he presented many compelling benefits that might entice an organization to make the change over to cloud-based solutions, including:

• The cost savings on hardware and infrastructure
• The flexible scalability of resources based on an organization’s specific demand
• The enhanced collaboration and accessibility through remote access
• The ability to focus on core business initiatives, such as patient care, by offloading certain infrastructure management to software
• The robust security protocols through encryption, threat detection, and more
