Bernhoven Hospital x Uniserver: Secure control over healthcare data in a rapidly digitising care environment using sovereign cloud.
Digitalisation in healthcare is accelerating, bringing new responsibilities for hospitals. Applications such as the Electronic Patient Record (EPR) are essential to daily care, while regulations around data protection are becoming stricter every year. For hospitals, this creates a clear mandate: safeguard continuity, guarantee security, and maintain full control over sensitive patient data.
Bernhoven sought a partner that could take over the management of its EPR and provide an infrastructure fully aligned with these demands. After a thorough selection process, the hospital chose the combined expertise of Ilionx and Uniserver. While Ilionx oversees the day-to-day management and monitoring of ChipSoft’s HiX EPR, Uniserver delivers the sovereign private cloud platform that underpins it.
By choosing Uniserver’s sovereign cloud, Bernhoven ensures that all patient data remains stored within the Netherlands and protected by Dutch and EU legislation. This removes uncertainty around data jurisdiction and provides a robust foundation for privacy and compliance. As CIO Marc Roozen explains: “By outsourcing the management of our EPR to the experts at Ilionx and choosing a Private Cloud platform from Uniserver, we ensure our patient data remains on Dutch soil, protected by Dutch and EU law. It allows us to focus fully on delivering care to our patients.”
In a landscape increasingly dominated by international hyperscalers, Bernhoven’s choice for a Dutch cloud platform is both deliberate and strategic. Patient data is highly sensitive and subject to strict frameworks such as GDPR, NEN 7510 and the upcoming NIS2 directive. With Uniserver, the hospital knows its data is secure, sovereign, and managed within a compliant environment built specifically for regulated sectors.
The new infrastructure gives Bernhoven a scalable, future-proof foundation for digital care. Medical data is stored and processed safely, accessibility is guaranteed, and the entire environment meets the highest standards of security and availability. At the same time, the hospital retains control over its systems and processes, while being relieved of the operational burden of infrastructure management.
This combination of sovereign cloud and specialised EPR expertise provides Bernhoven with the confidence to innovate without compromising safety. It forms a powerful model for the wider healthcare sector: a secure, scalable and fully Dutch cloud environment that supports modern care delivery and protects the trust patients place in their hospital.
