Prove the integrity of your health ICT system

Huge challenges in the reuse of health data are building and retaining trust and demonstrating GDPR compliance, amongst data providers, data facilitators and data users.

This lack of trust may slow down your business, namely as a data facilitator connecting health data sources, bridging from data providers to data users. With so many data breach scandals, cybersecurity risks and high penalties in the public eye, assurance of compliance has never been more vital for all stakeholders.

Without (accredited) certification, the market for these ICT platforms (data facilitators) will grow slowly and opportunities to conduct real-world data research, to respond to the needs within clinical research and healthcare, will be lost.

Increase trustworthiness.

The need for an Independent Information Governance Assessment

Are these your organisation’s concerns?

Is your handling of health data secure, transparent and reliable? 

Do you have up-to-date and state-of-the-art knowledge on privacy, ethics and security? How will you ensure trust and boost your business? 

Are you compliant with national and international legislation? 

How do you balance the tension between being GDPR-compliant and the value proposition of reusing health data?

Increase trustworthiness

In order to give confidence to all interested parties that a product, process or service is compliant to specified requirements such as GDPR, certification is essential.

The value of certification is the degree of confidence and trust that is established by an impartial and competent demonstration of fulfilment of specified requirements by a third party.

Secure, protected and ethical health data flows must be demonstrated in order to foster trust and generate value.

There is a growing demand to demonstrate that ICT systems comply with the highest information governance standards.

IDHIS is the first information governance certification programme of its kind

IDHIS audits the conformity of data flows throughout the health ICT systems against a unique set of international criteria relating to privacy, ethics, security and data protection.

Independent auditors examine how the organisations govern their staff, processes, tools and procedures by assessing their information governance.

IDHIS certification programme awards those organisations that have an information governance-compliant health ICT system with a Certificate (IG1-2020).

The certificate owner shows to their customers that their data governance is trustworthy and conforms to the highest international standards.

Who may apply for IDHIS?

The IDHIS certification programme is a must-have for ICT companies that are facilitating (re)use of health data via their ICT platform.

These ICT platforms act as a bridge, retrieving data from data providers, generating added value to this data and make it available to data users, e.g. research, AI , Learning Health Systems.
