Abstract

The Cloud Computing paradigm means a radical change over the IT technologies. This transform offers us many benefits in terms of e-services. Cloud Computing offers us a new solution for the implementation of electronic management system in a huge variety of fields. So the e-health is included on these solutions. Despite the fact that Cloud Computing is under development there are a lot of opportunities of implementation of Cloud Computing over e-health services. So in this paper we are going to discuss the viability of the implementation of this new model over an Electronic Health Records (EHRs) system. To find an answer of this issue we are going to analyze the benefits and constraints that can be given in this kind of systems.
