Abstract: Cloud computing has been adopted by many healthcare firms throughout the world especially in developed countries to enhance their service levels. The main objective of this study was to find the constructs from the prior literature review which influence the adoption of cloud computing from the prospering nation’s perspective. The main pillars of the theoretical framework are technology, organizational, environmental and ethical factors. The responses were collected from the employees or staff who were working in this sector with the help of a structured questionnaire. The analysis was performed utilizing SPSS 20.0 and AMOS 22.0. The hypothesis developed was tested utilizing a structural equation modelling approach. The findings indicated that the assumed variables each under technology, organization, environment and ethics have an impact on the dependent variable that is cloud computing adoption in the healthcare segment, thereby increasing the efficiency. The study is unique when compared to past studies as it considered ethical factors, thereby extending the cloud computing literature. It also provides a base for future studies and cloud technology development for a prospering nation perspective.
