Bernhoven: Control over healthcare data in a digital healthcare environment
Digitalization in healthcare is moving fast, but it also brings new responsibilities. Applications such as the Electronic Patient Record (EPD) are indispensable in the care process, while legislation and regulations regarding data protection are becoming increasingly strict. For hospitals this means: ensuring continuity, guaranteeing security and maintaining maximum control over patient data.
The hospital Bernhoven went in search of a partner who could take over the management of the EHR and provide an infrastructure that meets all these requirements. The choice fell on the combination of ilionx and Uniserver. Where ilionx is responsible for the daily management and monitoring of the EHR HiX van ChipSoft, Uniserver provides the underlying sovereign private cloud platform.
After an extensive supplier selection, the choice fell on the combination of ilionx and Uniserver. With this we choose a stable platform for our new EPD HiX van ChipSoftBy outsourcing management to the experts of ilionx and opt for a Private Cloud platform from Uniserver, we keep our patient data guaranteed on Dutch soil under legal protection of Dutch and EU law. This way we do not have to worry about the privacy of patient data and we can focus on the care for our patients.

The value of sovereign cloud in healthcare
At a time when international hyperscalers dominate, Bernhoven consciously chooses a Dutch cloud platformThe reason is clear: patient data is particularly privacy-sensitive and falls under strict laws and regulations, such as the GDPR, NEN7510 and the upcoming NIS2 guidelineBy placing the infrastructure with Uniserver, Bernhoven can be sure that all data will remain on Dutch soil., and is subject to Dutch legal protection.
Uniserver offers a scalable and future-proof cloud platform, specifically suited for organizations in regulated sectors such as healthcare. Thanks to the collaboration, Bernhoven can use a fully managed IT environment that meets the highest requirements in the areas of security, availability and compliance. At the same time, the hospital retains control over its data and processes.
Healthcare innovation without worries
The chosen solution enables Bernhoven to focus on what it is all about: patient care. At the same time, the platform offers the certainty that medical data is stored safely, accessible and compliant. This combination of operational unburdening en sovereign infrastructure forms a strong foundation for further digital innovation in healthcare.
By combining domain knowledge (EPD management) and infrastructure knowledge (sovereign cloud) a model is created that is also interesting for other healthcare institutions: a scalable, safe and fully Dutch care cloud.
