Abstract

Telehealth is an ideal way to provide the healthcare services to people. Contrast to previous programs applied to individual patient care only, telehealth, or the terminology of ICT integration “cloud computingâ€, is more broadly to population health well development. This study takes the Taiwan T city healthcare cloud service as a case study to survey 1) the architecture of government healthcare cloud; 2) the services of healthcare Cloud Computing; 3) the development stages from a few ICT services to healthcare cloud. The findings enhances the knowledge for developing cloud computing service and provides the experience to mitigate the transformation risks.
