Digitalization of the SHIs
Cloud-based solutions as drivers in the healthcare sector
Digital Transformation in the Healthcare Sector: The Challenge for Health Insurance Companies
One thing is certain: digitalization will continue to grow in importance. Individual smart ideas for manageable purposes are just the beginning - it will become increasingly comprehensive and system-relevant. However, many organizations are still at the beginning, especially the major players in the healthcare sector - the statutory health insurers (SHIs). The need for sustainable digitalization in the healthcare sector and secure data management and handling is undisputed, but initiating comprehensive implementation is the big challenge.
Your Path to Digital Transformation - These Are the Most Important Steps
- Exploration of the needs of SHI providers
- Invitation to tender via consulting agency and selection of a qualified partner
- Iterative solution search and implementation
- Continuous adjustment and adaptation of scalable solutions to current requirements
Partners in the Digitalization of the Healthcare Sector
It quickly becomes apparent that sovereign IT, digitalization, hyperscaling and big data are no longer issues that a statutory health insurance company can solve independently. The increasing qualification requirements for employees, the high pace of technical change, and the differentiated and constantly growing challenges in cyber security: all call for a highly specialized, competent, and yet individual solution for a health insurance company.
A reliable and highly qualified partner is needed to ensure that investments in digitalization lead to a secure and results-oriented return on investment.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Digitalization of SHI Providers

My IT is running! Why change anything?
My IT is running! Why change anything?
The saying "Never change a running system!" no longer applies in IT. The risk of data loss in the event of a failure or criminals gaining access to policyholders' most important data is too great. In addition, smart data collection, storage and analysis can provide new insights that can be directly translated into new digital business models.

My data center advises me to rely on local data storage - why is the cloud so much better?
My data center advises me to rely on local data storage - why is the cloud so much better?
On-prem data centers are still suitable for certain purposes, for example for so-called "gold data". All other data and processes are far better and more secure in the cloud. Hyperscalers employ legions of cybersecurity specialists who are constantly averting current and future threats. In addition, many more experts are working on future components and solutions. Your statutory health insurance company's data is secure in the cloud and cannot be viewed by third parties.

AI-supported data evaluations and services can also be used to evaluate the risk structure compensation (Morbi-RSA) and sharpen the target groups. Processing times and resources can also be drastically reduced through the digitalization of the sickness benefit payment process.
