Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security Standard (ADHICS) Standards

Why the ADHICS standard is important for all stakeholders, especially insurance providers?

The ADHICS standard covers all health care entities within the Abu Dhabi emirate which will be regulated by DoH. The standard will be applicable to all healthcare professionals, Dental & Medical Centres and their staff, laboratories, pharmacies, and insurance providers. The standards set minimum requirements for specific processes and define the related roles, the structure, the responsibilities are defined and the interactions of insurance providers, professional staff and the insurers. The policies are designed in such a way that it intends to provide regulatory consistency and have scope to incorporate the future evolution of the Abu Dhabi health system.
