Cloud computing is primarily a network-based model and is referred as platform, infrastructure and software sold as a service. Cloud computing offers an innovative way of computing with various service models that facilitate in accessing patient's information. This paper proposes a cloud-computing-based solution for public sector hospitals of UT Chandigarh for accessing patient's information. Existing system is based on manual paper work supported by independent isolated applications in almost every hospital of UT Chandigarh, which results in underutilisation of resources, high development and up-keeping costs and rate of success. Main aim of proposing cloud-computing based solution is to bring all the public-sector hospitals on one platform to access patient's information for easy running and up-keeping, to reduce the price (development and up-keeping), and to diminish threats of data loss. The proposed cloud computing solution is for the public-sector hospitals of UT Chandigarh and their extension centre; however, the suggested solution is generic and can be used by any hospital of India.
