Only a decade ago, the health sector’s access to clinical data was powered by the sounds of printers, fax machines, and physical mail exchanging patient information. The current ecosystem is on a fast track away from the paper trail, as technology continues to enhance digital health information transfer. Our health systems are now deliberately built to be interoperable — with data leading the push for connected care delivery.
Digitization has transformed healthcare into an interconnected network of databases, systems, and applications. This advancement has shifted care delivery from a function documented across paper files, fax machines, and metal cabinets — to one backed by Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Health Information Exchanges (HIEs).
Open-source healthcare IT companies will have major competitive advantages over their closed-source, proprietary counterparts in the coming decades, due to an increasing demand for reliability, affordability, security, and transparency in the highly regulated healthcare industry.
System and Organization Controls 2, or SOC 2, is a set of standards and criteria for modern technology companies to follow to ensure proper management of customer data. Developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA), SOC 2 includes five main principles of security, privacy, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality at its core. In the highly regulated US healthcare space, achieving SOC 2 compliance is a minimum for any SaaS organization that plans to deal with Protected Health Information (PHI), or health data in general.
