Abstract
In this research, we propose a Cloud Computing based model for a healthcare system of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The idea is to centralize all KSA hospitals' databases on the Cloud. It will contain the basic information of patients and prevent to open new records and to create new databases in different hospitals, visited by patients, and results in improved data storage resource utilization. The Cloud based storage improves the server security and decreases the maintenance cost. Moreover, since the data is centralized, in case of any update, the latest information will be available to all hospitals. Hence, in this paper, the proposed system architecture is presented and the functionality of different system modules is described. The advantage of the proposed system over counter classical ones, open issues and possibilities for further improvements of this model are also discussed.
