Introduction
‘My Health Record’ an initiative taken by the Commonwealth Government of Australia is a
project that has secured the information of the individuals over a secured online system. It
enables the patients to get an electronic summary of their health records ready with them. The
project is now looking up for cloud-based solutions for its proper execution considering the
security of its information. This report discusses the viability of the implementation of these
solutions through the discussion of the vendor-selection, the analysis of the characteristics of the
cloud-based solutions and the critical discussion of the SDLC approaches for selecting one of
them.

Vendor Solution
For selecting the solution from the vendors for the cloud-based solution of ‘My Health Record’,
the requirements of the project need to be checked upon which could be done by building up the
models on the basis of the various models suited with the project’s functionalities. It is used to
effectively convey the objectives of the project as well as helps in approximating the desires a
user is having from the system. The vendor solutions that could be made use of for the project
are enlisted as below:
1. Cloud-solution providers: These are the service providers that provide to client the
solutions based on their requirements. These service providers provide the services in the
form of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS environments to their clients. The features of these solutions
are:
a. Any solution from a number of cloud-environments (IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS) could
be provided to the client depending on their requirements.
b. The project gains reliability due to the implementation of the cloud-solutions.
c. A flexible environment is provided to the clients for smoothness of their
operations with the ‘My Health Record’.
d. The data security is also achieved through this over the cloud servers, as the
project is made to house the records of a mass number of people, so it is necessary
to secure its data.
e. Customers get the licensed service from the service providers, so are able to
reclaim back for their lost data.
f. The remote service offered to the users by this project is over-the-top service that
they require to be able to access the cloud-services from anywhere (Kundra,
2011).
2. Medical-service providers: ‘My Health Record’ is a medical project involving the online
monitoring of the health records of all the patients, hence it should be appropriate to get
some solution or some help from the medical service providers too to be able to better
manage the medical perspective of the cloud-solution. The features of these solutions are:
a. Patient is able to get medical services on-the-go.
