Gain control over legislation without extra workload

Healthcare is changing rapidly. Think of ageing populations, staff shortages, increasing digitalization and new legislation. All healthcare organizations are facing these major challenges. Technology plays an ever-larger role and brings with it a complex issue: compliance.

How can you ensure your organization complies with laws and regulations without increasing workload? And how can you use technology smartly to improve compliance instead of making it more burdensome?

In this blog, you’ll read how a digital approach can give you control over compliance in healthcare with less manual work and more oversight.

Compliance in healthcare: complex but essential

Healthcare organizations face an increasing number of laws and regulations, including:

  • The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
  • The data breach notification obligation
  • The NIS2 Directive (from October 2024)
  • The Electronic Data Exchange in Healthcare Act (Wegiz)

These rules require clear processes, airtight documentation, and secure IT systems. However, many healthcare organizations still work with Excel files, physical documents and emails to manage compliance. This often leads to fragmentation, incomplete records and higher risks of not being compliant according to the rules of the different regulations.

Developments in healthcare call for digital solutions

The need for digitalization, collaboration and patient safety is growing. The Integral Healthcare Agreement (IZA) underscores this urgency. Many healthcare organizations struggle to efficiently record compliance.

Squad Apps helps organizations to take this step. Using the low-code platform Mendix, we quickly and scalably develop apps that embed compliance into daily practice, without long IT projects. Thanks to Mendix’s compliance-by-design approach, many essential integrations (such as authorization management and data security) are arranged out-of-the-box. This means less development time, more certainty and optimal alignment with applicable laws and regulations.

Practical example: Adelante

A great example of this approach is our collaboration with Adelante Zorggroep. In just a few weeks, we jointly developed the Self Scheduling app: a user-friendly solution allowing clients to book their own appointments. The scheduled appointments are automatically synchronized with care providers’ calendars, fully integrated into Adelante’s EHR (OpenAC).

The result? A no-show rate of 0% among app users, more autonomy for clients and less administrative burden for the care team.

  • HR systems;
  • Planning and reporting software.
