Abstract

Healthcare facilities require health care workers, adequate infrastructure and information working in harmony to provide services in medically-underserved areas and communities. There has been constant pursuance across the globe to use computing powers to the fullest especially in the healthcare industry where most of the data is fragmented in paperwork.. The current mechanism to provide updates on the latest medicine available is disintegrated and does not penetrate to the grassroots level .All healthcare facilities must be alerted about hazardous medicines instantly to delimit its usage. Organ transplantation is increasing precipitously with the development in healthcare services and the search for a rare blood group has often been in vain. The lack of a proficient system to locate medicines and apt organ and blood donors is a hitch that puts many lives in jeopardy. It is important for all this information to be available as and when required by the hospitals or patients. With the help of IaaS(Infrastructure as a service),our system typically delivers a platform virtualization environment as a service for selective access to information to maximize security. The servers with information are utilized by clients as a fully outsourced service. The internet based computing makes it client centred approach which enables secured access to the data. The main objectives of the project is 1) To provide hospitals with information that can help locate blood and organ donors of specified criteria.2)Supports tracking of organ and blood donations.3)Geographical location based on availability of medicines 4)provide centralized updation of the best medicines available in the market.5)To instantly demarcate the usage of hazardous medicine. There is tremendous promise for cloud computing infrastructure in the healthcare industry and is an ideal tool to leverage computing power at low cost. The project is realistic and can be implemented all over the world.
