Book excerpt: With mandates directing the migration from paper health records to electronic health records, the healthcare industry is slowly adopting cloud computing environments for storage and processing of sensitive information. Because cloud environments often span international borders in multi-tenancy environments, there are concerns by industry professionals about the ability to collect and preserve data during the electronic discovery process. Also, if performed incorrectly, or without prudence, the possibility exists to violate international laws regarding the processing and delivery of data deemed to be privacy sensitive. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the unique challenges of electronic discovery in cloud computing environments used by the healthcare field. After review of forensic principles and existing legal frameworks, it has been determined that considerable efforts should be devoted to the establishment of a widely accepted framework that addresses the needs of the international community.
