Cloud-Based Virtual Patient Engagement with Intelligent Scheduling and Secure Document Management

Abstract

With the Healthcare industry making its way into the cloud, the patient now takes a new step ahead and with remote access to healthcare services communication and healthcare quality management gets a new dimension. But current engagement packages will probably be associated with appointments that don't best utilize resources, documents security, interoperability, and unintelligent decision support. The study will: Present Cloud-based Virtual Patient Engagement System that will empower use of cloud-based technology and AI, towards creating Intelligent Scheduling and Secure Document Management and use of the two efficiently coupled with effective utilization of the Cyber Security Solutions, to enhance the way the health care services could be delivered. The orchestrated design will include a cloud footprint that will allow for a scaled and highly-available patient services, as well as use of “smarts” to maximize physician utilization and reduce patient wait times. As one would expect, as a secure document management module is developed – with encrypted storage, role based access controller, auditing and logging security incidents and safe document sharing – the security of the EHRs and clinical documents becomes more secure. The framework offers the potential of teleconsultation, communication with patients, settings for automatic notification of health care providers and patients, automatic recalling and real time synchronisation. Its interoperability that is based on API assists it to interact well with both information systems and electronic health systems in the hospitals. The proposed framework works well with respect to scheduling and improves work done by administrations resulting in improved data safety, patient satisfaction and work-efficiency based on the experimental evaluation. The proposed intelligent patient engagement model as a cloud is scalable, secured and efficient enough to be able to support a new digital healthcare ecosystem.
