Abstract: Chittagong Metropolitan area is the second largest
city in Bangladesh. There are a lot of people who have
needed health information in time but not yet appropriate
online health information site at present. So, we were
designed a health information technology for Chittagong
Metropolitan area based on cloud computing. Cloud
computing is the delivery of computing services over the
internet. This health information technology provides most of
the health information for the patient quickly. Our health
information technology examine approaches to the
organization, financing and delivery of health services and
the role of the main actors in health systems; describe the
institutional framework, process, content and
implementation of health and health-care policies; and
highlight challenges and areas that require more in-depth
analysis. This cloud can also be used to inform comparative
analyses of health systems. We have tried to solve all the issue
by this Cloud computing system which is new technology for
Chittagong metropolitan area and suitable for any
environment. We hope this system always be updated by
which user can view or use health information and services
to Chittagong metropolitan area people by online system.
Keywords: Cloud Computing, Security standard, Cloud
service user, Cloud service provider, health information
technology, Chittagong metropolitan, Bangladesh.
1.1 Introduction
Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-
demand network access to a shared pool of configurable
computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage,
applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and
released with minimal management effort or service provider
interaction [1]. Cloud services allow individuals use software
and hardware that are managed by third parties at remote
locations. Examples of cloud services include online file
storage, social networking sites, webmail, and online business
applications. The cloud computing model allows access to
information and computer resources from anywhere that a
network connection is available. Cloud computing provides a
shared pool of resources, including data storage space,
networks, computer processing power, and specialized
corporate and user applications.
In order to provide effective and continuous community based
care delivery we need to coordinate care across complex
networks of providers and various data sources Cloud-based
approaches for health information technology(HIT) design
offer advantages over traditional HIT applications in that data
and functionality is available to multiple users and resources.

Cloud computing provides flexibility and reduces resource
burden on a single setting [2].
Cloud computing is boon for IT sector whether it is used in
efficient and effective way. Despite knowing its advantages
like no further dependency over server, cost effective, time
saver, no inadequate manpower required, It also embedded
the certain threats and risks, Basically in this research paper
included all possible those threats which occurred during the
processing on users end and suppliers end[3].
Chittagong is a major coastal seaport city and financial centre
in southeastern Bangladesh. The city has a population of
more than 2.5 million while the metropolitan area has a
population of over 6.5 million, making it the second largest
city in the country. The Port of Chittagong is the largest
international seaport on the Bay of Bengal. It is the largest
base of the Bangladesh Navy. However, despite having a
high and growing urban per capita GDP in South Asia and
being one of the fastest growing cities in the world, it has a
poverty rate of 11.3%, as of 2010. Chittagong is reputed as a
relatively clean city, but still confronts substantial logistical
and socioeconomic problems.
Health care is one of our basic needs. Every day you need
health related information. In order to provide health
information to the people Bangladesh, government created e-
info web portal. But there is none any specific on line health
portal for Chittagong .The Chittagong Medical College
Hospital is the largest state-owned hospital in Chittagong.
The Chittagong General Hospital, established in 1901, is the
oldest hospital in the city. The Bangladesh Institute of
Tropical and Infectious Diseases (BITID) is based the city.
Other government-run medical canters in the city include the
Family Welfare Centre, TB Hospital, Infectious Disease
Hospital, Diabetic Hospital, Mother and Children Hospital
and the Police Hospital. Among the city's private hospitals
are the Chittagong Metropolitan Hospital, Surgiscope
Hospital, CSCR, Centre Point Hospital, National Hospital
and Mount Hospital Ltd.The location map of Chittagong
metropolitan area is given below.

1.2 Motivation of the work
Health care system is no longer confined within the hospital
or clinic in the era of e-hospital. The environment of IT
education could be improved to let patient access service
resources anywhere. Bangladesh Telemedicine centers are
good example. The free software can be adopted for
constructing the cloud computing service for the environment
of IT like OpenOffice.org such as word processing,
spreadsheets, and presentations. Only a browser is needed for
patient to connect to the cloud computing service.(i) Not yet
an appropriate health information Chittagong metropolitan
area.(ii) A patient of Chittagong metropolitan area collects
health information not easily. (iii) The data is transmitted to
database servers that organizes, indexes, and make it
accessible through a database interface.
1.3 Objective
The objective of this paper is to configure cloud computing
with health information technology as software as a service
where medical and clinical information put on a private cloud
system, remotely login and retrieve own information or
provide remotely services and work from home or way
anywhere, every time.
1.4 Methodology
To demonstrate the viability of cloud computing for
Chittagong metropolitan health information technology
(especially medical services for health) and its huge potential
benefits, an introduction was given in order to highlight the
common medical services associated with having an IT
infrastructure. Furthermore, a number of general information
were provided to demonstrate the emerging popularity of
cloud computing with some health information technology, and
more focus were applied on the recent experience of patients of
the Chittagong metropolitan area with cloud computing as a
case study.
various client devices through a thin client interface such as a
web browser (e.g., web-based email).
2.1.2 Platform as a Service (PaaS): The capability provided
to the consumer is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure his
own applications without installing any platform or tools on
their local machines. PaaS refers to providing platform layer
resources, including operating system support and software
development frameworks that can be used to build higher-
level services.
2.1.3 Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):The capability
provided to the consumer is to provision processing, storage,
networks, and other fundamental computing resources where
the consumer is able to deploy and run arbitrary software,
which can include operating systems and applications.

3. Technical Components of Cloud Computing
As shown in the Figure 1, key functions of a cloud
management system is divided into four layers, respectively
the Resources & Network Layer, Services Layer, Access
Layer, and User Layer. Each layer includes a set of functions
[7]:
The Resources & Network Layer manages the physical and
virtual resources.
The Services Layer includes the main categories of cloud
services, namely, NaaS, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS/CaaS, the service
orchestration function and the cloud operational function.
The Access Layer includes API termination function, and
Inter-Cloud peering and federation function.
The User Layer includes End-user function, Partner
function and Administration function.

2.1 Types of cloud computing
Health care has been gradually expanded, and the health care
object has slowly turned to social staff. The health care method
from directly health care place to online is growing fast than
ever. An online health care system which helps has to take
service in any hour is an advance of learning using technology.
E-learning and online solution is what we required in health
care environment [4,5].
The cloud model provides three types of services [6]:
2.1.1 Software as a Service (SaaS): The capability provided
to the consumer is to use the providers applications running on
a cloud infrastructure. The applications are accessible from Fig 4: The Cloud Computing Components [7]

4. Cloud standards
Cloud computing, undoubtedly, has become the buzzword in
the IT industry today. Looking at the potential impact it has on
numerous business applications as well as in our everyday life,
it can certainly be said that this disruptive technology is here to
stay. Many of the features that make cloud computing
attractive, have not just challenged the existing security
system, but have also revealed new security issues [8].
To achieve interoperability among clouds and to increase their
stability and security, cloud standards are needed across
different standard developing organizations. For example, the
current storage services by a cloud provider may be
incompatible with those of other provider. In order to keep
their customers, cloud providers may introduce so called
sticky services which create difficulty for the users if they
want to migrate from one provider to the other, e.g., Amazons
S3 is incompatible with IBMs Blue Cloud or Google storage.
There are currently a large number of standards bodies with
different interests, e.g. IEEE Cloud Computing Standard Study
Group [9], ITU Cloud Computing Focus Group [10], Cloud
Security Alliance (CSA), Distributed Management Task Force
[11], Storage Networking Industry Association [12], Open
Grid Forum [13], Open Cloud Consortium [14] and
Organization for the Advancement of Structured International
Journal on Cloud Computing: Services and Architecture
(IJCCSA) ,Vol.3, No.4, August 2013 Information Standards
[15], and so forth. To promote the wide use of cloud
computing, these standards bodies need to sit down and work
together to establish common standards. Possible Inter-
cloud standards in the following domains are needed to
increase cloud interoperability and free data movement among
clouds:
Network architecture,
Data format,
Metering and billing,
Quality of Service,
Resource provisioning,
Security, identity management and privacy.
As stated, there are many general computing standards that
may be reused in the cloud, but for the moment, there are to
our knowledge no dedicated cloud standards. This may add to
the confusion for cloud users [16], and is something which
must be addressed in the future.
5. Health care information technology
Health Information Exchange can be defined as the electronic
sharing of health-related information among organizations that
provide services to enable the electronic sharing of patient
health information. The ability to exchange health information
electronically is at the foundation of efforts to improve health
care quality and safety which has inspired increased
government funding and incentive opportunity in this area. The
Health Information Technology Economic and Clinical Health
include a lot of Money in Medicare and Medicaid incentive
payments to providers and hospitals for the meaningful use of
certified health information technology products. The health
information technology can reduce time and cost of user and

can provide for family member of any time for using this
system. Our main purpose electronically exchange health
information by using cloud system.
5.1 How to communicate health care from home
Patient communicates from home to health care easily.
Patient using this health application communicate to his/her
doctor or hospital and he provided nursing.
Talk to the doctor.
The primary physician providing care for the person
is a great place to start. Ask for recommendations of
home health providers that have experience caring
for people with dementia.
Use Medicare's online tool.
You can find and compare in this health care in your
area through Medicare's online tool home health
services.
Use our Community Resource Finder.

6. Health care Design and Implementation.
A Cloud-computing service that will let healthcare and
hospital build custom private clouds that can be integrated
into public cloud services. Three main factors interests in
Cloud Computing rapid decrease in hardware cost and
increase in computing power and storage capacity, and the
advent of multi-core architecture and modern supercomputers
consisting of hundreds of thousands of cores. The
exponentially growing data size in scientific
instrumentation/simulation and Internet publishing and
archiving and the wide-spread adoption of Services
Computing and Web 2.0 applications. For example, a health
care patient taking a doctor cold solution could access a
cloud from his or her door room, to obtain a physical or
virtual server with the necessary storage and a copy of Maple
software running on it to use for service or solution.
Likewise, an elementary medical doctor could access the
same cloud to request one virtual machine for each of his or
her patient running Maple software, as part of his or her
medical room instructional activities

7. Discussion
Cloud computing is a pay-per-use model for enabling
available, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared
pool of configurable computing resources networks, servers,
storage, applications, services that can be rapidly provisioned
and released with minimal management effort or service
provider interaction. This cloud model promotes availability
and is comprised of five key characteristics, three delivery
models, and four deployment models. Almost 15 publication
have been analyzed and 6 main topics have been included such
as telemedicine/teleconsultation, medical imaging, public
health and patient self-management, hospital management and
information systems, therapy and secondary use of data. We
are analyzed above topics to design our health information
technology in Chittagong metropolitan area based on cloud
computing. We are more confident about our result after
implementation that is a lot of data will be more secured and
other way pay per use and hope patient of Chittagong
metropolitan area quickly response for their need.
This health care system reduces data complexity because here
have more secure data or information where we were put data
or information on cloud using software as a service model. So,
it is most important for a patient because they need to be
appropriate health information. Since for Chittagong
metropolitan health information have yet not been well
established, we are decided conducting a new domain which
name is Chittagong health information technology based on
cloud computing where user can access their own information.
Too often cloud was used synonymously with Internet-based
or running in a virtual machine or potentially scalable to a And Prevention Mechanisms International Journal of Advanced
cloud lacking any evidence of the real benefits. Searching the
general Internet for cloud computing in healthcare reveals a
very large number of hits of various kinds and qualities.
Chittagong health information technology is a cloud-based on
software application including a complete infrastructure to
document and facilitate caring processes in a health care
system.

8. Conclusion:
Chittagong metropolitan health information technology is a
system which is based on cloud computing software as a
service model. Our software service model have two portion
one is user access and another is administration access which
prevent by general user of administration service of course
data is more secure because separate access and data store on
clouded. This health cares system using a user he or she can
provide several service of medical or clinical and others
health information. Cloud service infrastructure, software or
platform the end service provider or enterprise will control
the access to the services. If these services are being hosted
on the cloud, then the cloud provider which may be different
from the service provider or enterprise also needs to protect
their network from unauthorized accesses. However, since
the cloud provider and the service provider or enterprise is
legally different entities, they may in certain cases need to
isolate their respective user information. Lots of crisis has
happen in business world as well as in health care
environment. Data security, storage, processing power is
limited while using traditional computing in health care
environment. Data are also in risk and not available all time
in this area. But by using of cloud computing the entire
problem will be solved directly or indirectly. Computer in
academic health care must have the latest hardware and
software. Due to the hidden cost many provider couldnt
fulfill the availability of resource to student and staff by using
cloud computing in health care environment. We have tried
to solve all the issue by this Cloud computing system which
is new technology for Chittagong metropolitan area and
suitable for any environment.
8.1 Future work
We are decided this health care system limitation will be
recovered with more health information day by day in this
system. Every moment will be upgraded our health care
system by which user can view or use health information and
services to Chittagong metropolitan area people by online
system.
