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

The Department of Health (DOH) established the Abu Dhabi Healthcare Information and Cyber Security (ADHICS) Standard. The ADHICS is a strategic initiative in support of DOH’s vision and federal mandates and is endorsed by DOH’s Executive Committee. The ADHIS is aligned with industry and international expectations on information security. It complements the government’s initiatives on Health Information Exchange (HIE) towards greater security and public trust. The DOH regulated healthcare entities’ adoption of ADHICS will enhance data privacy and security in Abu Dhabi’s health sector.
