A few years ago, Clotaire took on the challenge of making Evolucare known in the world of healthcare interoperability: the story of a journey.

My father used to say, “Luck knocks on every door, but you have to know how to seize it.” My luck is to have a close-knit and complementary team.
For me, success is all about the team.

Attracted by the company’s family atmosphere in 2008, Clotaire started as a project manager for the Hygie* product.

In 2015, following the acquisition of Logifrance, Hygie was replaced by the Winpharm pharmacy management solution. Management then offered Clotaire the challenge of developing interoperability and promoting Evolucare as a player in this growing sector.

This led to the creation of the “Interop” unit. Today, as a result of internal changes, the team has eight employees with a wide range of skills. For Clotaire, it is a great opportunity to have a close-knit and complementary team, which is essential for success.

ISO 9001 certification, the integration of new products, cross-functional activities, the implementation of projects and new standards, and the evolution of the SIS Interoperability Framework have developed the team’s expertise, which regularly monitors the standardization of exchanges. It is also involved in various events and associations such as Interop’ Santé**: Clotaire, secretary of this association, represents the Group and participates in the implementation and application of standards, norms, and profiles on the French market. The team also participates in IHE Connectathons and Projectathons organized by the ANS.

Interoperability has a bright future ahead of it. The government is supporting the digital shift in healthcare (HOP’EN, Ma Santé 2022) and strongly encourages participation and collaboration between publishers, manufacturers, and public authorities.

This is the era of e-health!
