Since February 1, 2021, Russian medical institutions have been able to conduct fully electronic document management, including electronic patient records, reports, and internal documentation.
This contributes to the emergence of integration platforms and services - digital spaces that allow medical institutions to quickly exchange patient data: medical histories, anamnesis, test and research results, as well as other information necessary for rapid diagnosis and treatment.
In this case study, we tell you how the MWS cloud provider helps digitalize healthcare.
ClientThe company "Netrika Medicine" is engaged in the development and integration of IT
wordpress web design agency solutions for departmental and private healthcare, including specializing in the implementation of medical information systems (IS) and the creation of useful services for patients, doctors and managers in the healthcare sector.
The company is accredited by the Ministry of Digital Development of the Russian Federation, is a key participant in the information and communication technology market and a flagship in the segment of developing services and tools for the digitalization of medicine.
TaskNetrika Medicine has begun developing a unified integration platform, N3.Health, which allows companies and medical organizations to freely and securely exchange data (test results, medical histories, prescriptions, referrals, and other information) in electronic format.
N3.Health does not have a user interface — it is a platform for the medical B2B market that unites clinics, insurance companies, medical laboratories, online services, and allows them to be integrated with the Unified State Health Information System of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.
Using N3.Health, private clinics can expand the range of available services and implement:
- online doctor appointment systems;
- a single electronic medical record with data from branches of clinics, hospitals and medical laboratories;
- sharing clinical trial data to make diagnoses without delays.
When developing the platform, the company faced a problem — to host the project, it was necessary to have an infrastructure with a high level and class of protection in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 152-FZ "On Personal Data" (UZ-2 and K2). At the hypothesis testing stage, creating its own data center was unprofitable for the customer, even despite the presence of expertise in building data centers.
As a result, the company decided to look for a provider with a cloud for UZ-2 and K2, but immediately faced difficulties: data centers that met the search criteria did not have sufficient performance or were simply not rented out. The situation was complicated by the fact that the client planned to certify its own IS, so only IaaS services with the appropriate certificate were considered.
As a result, the main task of Netrika Medicine was to host the systems and the developed platform in secure, certified, certified data centers without large one-time capital investments.
