Detailed Review
Nedap Healthcare builds electronic care records for the part of healthcare that hospital systems handle badly: long-term care, disability services, mental health and home care, where the record follows a client over years rather than an admission over days.
What Makes Nedap Healthcare Stand Out
Long-term care has a different shape from acute care — care plans, goal-setting, shift handovers and funding streams rather than diagnoses and discharges — and Nedap builds for it directly, including the Dutch care funding and billing rules that decide whether the organisation gets paid.
What the System Covers
Electronic client records and care planning, scheduling and time registration for care staff, mobile access for community and home care workers, client and family portals, and billing against Dutch long-term care funding streams.
Health Data, the GDPR and National Rules
Nedap is headquartered in Groenlo in the eastern Netherlands. Care records combine health data with details of someone's home life and dependence — among the most sensitive combinations the GDPR contemplates.
Health data is special category data under Article 9 of the GDPR, and member states layer national health legislation on top — certified hosting in France, the Telematikinfrastruktur in Germany, regional procurement rules in the Nordics. That stack is why healthcare is one of the few software markets where European vendors still lead their home markets outright.
Pricing
Subscription per client or per user depending on the module, contracted with the care organisation.
Nedap Healthcare vs Epic and the US Vendors
Against PointClickCare, WellSky, Netsmart, the European systems win on fit rather than on scale. National billing codes, e-prescription infrastructure, funding streams and reporting duties are the product in this category — and an American system has to be reimplemented into each of them, at a cost European health systems have repeatedly found unaffordable.
