I remember the days when cloud was almost a dirty word in healthcare. Most healthcare CIOs probably saw the writing on the wall that cloud was the future, but there was a lot of fear going to the cloud.

The government can fine up to 1.5 million dollars for a single HIPAA breach incident - an amount that would put most small practices out of business.
