IN THE FACE OF THE INFLATION OF STANDARDS, THE SAAS MODE REASSURES AND SECURES THE BUDGET OF ESTABLISHMENTS.
In a world where the regulatory landscape for healthcare is constantly changing, with the introduction of standards such as the NIS2 directive, the RGPD, new versions of HAS certifications and the forthcoming HDS version 2 certification, healthcare establishments are facing challenges on an unprecedented scale.
Evolucare Technologies, with its experience and collaboration with more than 5,000 health and social care organisations, is the voice of these institutions. As a recognised leader in the post-acute and rehabilitation and community hospital sectors, we have developed a deep understanding of the pressures that these regulatory changes place on our customers.
These changes are not simply constraints; they represent opportunities to enhance safety, quality of care and operational efficiency. Our role is to light the way for healthcare establishments, guiding them through this regulatory maze towards optimised, secure management.
The problem magnified
Regulations in the healthcare sector are intensifying, weighing heavily on the shoulders of small and medium-sized establishments, which often find themselves powerless to cope with the scale of the requirements.
Consider the case of a medium-sized clinic faced with the headache of the GDPR. Between the financial investment needed to update their IT systems, train staff and put in place compliant internal processes, direct and indirect costs are soaring.
The complexity of the legal process and the fear of sanctions in the event of non-compliance add considerable pressure.
These challenges are not just lines in an annual report, they are the tangible realities that our customers face on a daily basis.
It is essential to highlight these challenges to better understand the urgency and the need for a tailored response.
The solution
In the face of increasing regulatory pressure, Health Data Hosting (HDS in France) is emerging as a strategic and operational solution for establishments overwhelmed by compliance requirements. Much more than a simple response to regulations, HDS offers enhanced security for patient data, which is essential in the digital age. What’s more, it provides visibility over costs, which are known and fixed from the outset.
HDS also means that establishments with a low level of equipment can get started with moderate human and technical investment compared with on-premise solutions.
Finally, it offers peace of mind by eliminating the need to manage technological infrastructures and complying with current and future regulatory requirements.
This strategy of administrative simplification is a breath of fresh air for establishments, enabling them to refocus on their primary mission: delivering quality care. By adopting a solution of this kind, establishments gain a head start.
The on-premise model requires repeated investment to keep up to date, whereas the SAAS model includes compliance with security standards as part of its regular subscription, offering peace of mind with a cost-effective, predictable and cybersecurity-conscious solution.
The only logical choice
At present, the alternatives to HDS seem increasingly inadequate. The trend is clear, and points to an inexorable rise in the widespread adoption of HDS.
This is not conjecture, but analysis based on concrete market developments and legal requirements.
HDS is no longer just another option, but the foundation of modern, responsible healthcare practice. Far from being a constraint, this choice is a recognition of the crucial importance of protecting healthcare data and the need for a robust and reliable technological infrastructure.
Finding the right partner
Choosing a technology partner to implement HDS is a major strategic decision. This choice should not be based solely on technical expertise, although this is essential, but also on the ability to establish a relationship of trust, close monitoring and clear, effective communication.
At Evolucare, we are committed to meeting these criteria with rigour. Our ambition is to provide cutting-edge technological solutions, while building lasting relationships with our customers to support them at every stage of their development. By choosing Evolucare, healthcare institutions are opting for a partner who understands their issues and is committed to supporting them in their most complex challenges.
Conclusion
The imperative is clear: we must act without delay! The risks of doing nothing are too great to ignore. HDS is the way forward, a strategic and enlightened choice for any healthcare establishment concerned about compliance and the security of its data. At Evolucare, we are equipped to guide you through this essential transition, with the promise of our expertise and support. By anticipating and adapting our strategies today, we will turn regulatory challenges into tangible successes for healthcare and medico-social establishments.
