  • AWS hosting — government-grade encryption

Our healthcare specialty

​

Concentrated expertise, not spread thin

Regulatory compliance in healthcare isn't a module you bolt on at the end of a project. It's an architecture you design from the first line of specification. At CIO1, we've built this expertise across multiple healthcare engagements since 2020, and every application we deliver is designed to pass a compliance audit.

​

We work with:

​

  • Medical clinics and private health centers in Canada and United States

  • Specialist practices — psychology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, ABA

  • Home care organizations and community services

  • Pharmacies and pharmacy chains

  • Health insurance companies and third-party payers

  • U.S.-based health technology providers (HealthTech)

Regulatory compliance

Four compliance frameworks, one team

​

Healthcare organizations operating across Canada and the United States must navigate several regulatory frameworks simultaneously. We design every application to meet the framework that applies to your jurisdiction — or all four, if you operate across multiple provinces and states.

​

HIPAA (United States)

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act governs the protection of Protected Health Information (PHI) in the United States. Our applications meet the technical, administrative, and physical safeguards of the HIPAA Security Rule, including encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, complete audit logging, and redundant backups. We sign Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) with our U.S. clients.

​

Quebec Law 25

Quebec's Act to modernize legislative provisions as regards the protection of personal information has, since 2023, imposed strict obligations on Quebec organizations that collect or process personal information — including the appointment of a privacy officer, Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs), and the right to data portability. Our applications include the features required to demonstrate compliance to the Commission d'accès à l'information du Québec.

​

PHIPA (Ontario)

The Personal Health Information Protection Act governs the collection, use, and disclosure of personal health information in Ontario. We design consent workflows, audit trails, and disclosure mechanisms in accordance with the requirements of the Information and Privacy Commissioner of Ontario.

​

PIPEDA (Canada)

The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act applies to private Canadian organizations that collect personal information in the course of commercial activities. All our applications follow the ten Fair Information Principles.

 

Our commitment: every application CIO1 delivers includes clear compliance documentation — privacy policy, processing register, incident response plan — that you can present to an auditor or a regulator.

Our approach: low-code Tadabase + AWS

Why our clients choose low-code for healthcare

​

Traditional development of a HIPAA-compliant healthcare application typically takes between 9 and 18 months and costs between $200,000 and $800,000. Our low-code approach, built on the Tadabase platform, delivers equivalent results in 4 to 12 weeks, at a cost that is often 60 to 80% lower.

​

Three reasons:

​

  1. Enterprise-grade security built in. Tadabase is hosted on AWS, with AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.2+ in transit, and SOC 2-compliant infrastructure. We don't have to rebuild the security layer — we configure and document it for your specific use case.

  2. Flexibility without compromise. Where traditional low-code imposes limits, we add custom JavaScript, CSS, Handlebars, and API integrations. The result looks and behaves like a fully custom application — because it is one.

  3. Continuous evolution without technical debt. Platform updates are managed by Tadabase. Your business workflows evolve without rewrites, costly migrations, or surprises at renewal time.

What we build

Typical healthcare use cases

​

Our applications automate specific, measurable processes. These are the types of engagements we deliver regularly:

 

  • Clinical record management — secure creation, updating, and consultation of patient records, with full audit trails

  • Secure patient communication platforms — encrypted messaging between clinicians and patients, HIPAA-compliant

  • Appointment and clinical schedule management — including automated reminders and cancellation handling

  • Clinical and operational dashboards — real-time indicators for medical leadership and administration

  • ABA management (applied behavior analysis) — session tracking, intervention plans, billing

  • Home care tracking — mobile applications for caregivers, geolocation, visit reports

  • Consent management and electronic forms — digital signatures, archiving, traceability

  • Billing and payroll system integration — QuickBooks, Microsoft 365, RAMQ connectors

  • Referral portals and interprofessional coordination — secure communication between practitioners across organizations

  • Staff compliance and training tracking — certifications, expiration dates, alerts

 

Every application is designed specifically for your workflow. No forced generic templates.

Why CIO1

What sets us apart in concrete terms

​

1. Bilingual Canada–U.S. healthcare specialization

Very few firms master HIPAA, Law 25, and PHIPA simultaneously. We work with all three daily, in English and French.

​

2. Firm commitments on timelines and budgets

We commit to a schedule and a cost before we start. We deliver exactly what was promised, when it was promised.

​

3. A stable team, no turnover

Our developers have worked together for years. The developer who designs your application is the one who maintains it.

​

4. An operational partner, not a vendor

We understand the clinical and administrative operations of healthcare. Our founder brings over 20 years of consulting experience with complex organizations.

​

5. Complete documentation and knowledge transfer

Your teams aren't dependent on us to run the application. We document everything and train your internal administrators.
