The burdens of compliance slow down your business
Shared Responsibility is still your responsibility
When you deploy your workloads onto cloud service providers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, you are always responsible for a major portion of the compliance burden, predominantly at the operating system level. Addressing the gap is not rocket science, but is tedious and expensive. More importantly, it gives a reason for compliance officers to say "No" to using the cloud.
Interoperable data requires interoperable infrastructure
Modern health IT is an ecosystem of solutions, which means digital health products must have a strategy to integrate with existing EHRs or other systems of record like PACs. Integrating with legacy on-premises systems is not easy when your architecture is on the cloud. Compliance, security, privacy, VPNs, and 1980s-era protocols are requirements for true interoperability.
