If I held a leadership role within a hospital, I would explore the option of migrating our information system to cloud computing due to its potential benefits in scalability, cost efficiency, disaster recovery, and streamlined maintenance. However, I would remain vigilant about protecting patients’ sensitive data in accordance with ethical privacy standards like the PDPA. To address this concern, I would likely pursue a strategy that involves transferring non-sensitive data to the cloud while keeping critical patient information locally stored. Should a full-scale migration be necessary, implementing robust encryption methods for personally identifiable data would be a priority, ensuring both technological advancement and ethical data protection.
