Has your facility started to discuss cloud operations?  Are you using any?  What advantages/disadvantages are you seeing compared to local data centers?

In-house Data Centre or trusted EMR vendors Data Centres are being used for Canadian health authorities and clinics strictly because of security.  With Cloud Computing you are at the mercy of the providers security and privacy policies and you never know where your data or application is running.
