Table 2 Summary of the main components of the proposed hybrid cloud framework and their roles.
From: Enhancing patient admission efficiency through a hybrid cloud framework for medical record sharing
Component | Primary role in the framework |
|---|---|
Hospital Information System (HIS) | Manages local EMRs, supports patient registration, clinical documentation, and synchronization with the private cloud. |
Private cloud | Securely stores and manages hospital EMRs, coordinates communication with other clouds, and integrates biometric and IoT data. |
Community cloud | Maintains patient metadata and indexing information to identify hospitals holding relevant EMRs without storing clinical data. |
Government cloud | Provides verified demographic data and supports automated EMR creation using fingerprint-based identification. |
Fingerprint authentication | Enables secure and accurate patient identification during admission using privacy-preserving biometric hashing. |
IoT wearable bracelet | Collects and transmits real-time vital signs to support pre-consultation clinical preparation and monitoring. |
